There was some discussion on this list recently about doing .rcss templates in Rails using a custom template handler. I''ve come up with a very simple way to support rcss without a handler. Turns out all it takes is a route and an action that calls render(:file...). I put a full write-up on my blog earlier today:

Hi all -- The simple question is: How do I set different validations for the same Model, when accessed in different Controllers? Here''s the scenario: I have a store/cart app, with a customer-facing shopping cart, and a typical Admin side. The Admin side also has an Order Entry component, where our staff can enter orders received by fax, telephone, etc. Both the customer-facing cart

Hello all, This is an interesting problem I have been working on. What I have is a little multiuser project request tracking application. What happens is that I log in and create projects and assign people to the projects. Each project has steps associated with it, and the steps need to be done in a certain order. Now, I have to request that the assigned person perform each of the steps, and

I am running the webrick server (/script/server) and I would like to be able to view the application from any browser. However, I can only see my application from a browser opened up on the localhost. When I use any other browser it times out. I have already modified the following line in the /script/server file (I''ve tried the numeric ip address also) so that it is the real ip

Anyone think it''d be useful to make a WriteBoard type application that supported ruby, html, etc. and allowed programmers to collaborate on writing scripts or just code in general and track each others changes? Just a thought. - Jim

would it be possible to get another beta gem posted for switchtower? core rails has been getting nice regular updates to the beta gems, but switchtower is still back at 1962.

Could someone kindly send me a copy of the TextMate macros that pertain to Ruby and Rails? I am assuming they are stored in or can be exported to some kind of plain text file... Sadly I am not yet able to make the leap from Linux (and Windows) to a Mac and I am using Slickedit, which has *zero* built in support for Ruby/Rails. I can add macros and code templates so I thought it might be

Hi, I''d like to use migrations to build my initial database. Is there a gem or plugin that will generate the migration code for initial db if I point it at a live database or sql file? If yes, then can you automatically generate the incremental migrations as well? Thanks, Jason

I''m new to this list, I''m a student in History, Computerscience and a bit of Philosophy from the Netherlands... I have started using rails a few weeks ago, I did read the Agile Webdevelopment with Rails book, and I generally started to love Rails for it''s sheer beauty and intelligent structure... However I came across something that puzzles me quite a bit. It''s

Hi all, I have a problem with an observer. I have a simple observer... class ActivityObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer observe Customer def after_create(model) bind_params(model) @al.action = "create" @al.save logger "#{model.id} : created" end private def bind_params(model) @al = ActivityLog.new @al.user_id = User.current.id

Hi, Ok, As i promised.. I am working on new version of BackgrounDRB, which is getting close and will be out soon. I need some feedback from you guys. So, please reply back.

Ok, in new API, a worker looks like this: require "net/smtp" require "guid" class NewsletterWorker

How are you guys handling threads or server processes that have to, for example, process the data in your application on a periodic basis? Cron jobs can do it and then run on the database. But, are there ways to launch threads within the rails application itself. I have heard of WebBrick ways, but I am working with lighttpd, fastcgi? (textdrive if you are really interested).

Hello, i need to have some jobs scheduled in the background and executed at specific times. I wanted to make a worker who does that - and it works a little bit - but i had an enlightment... why not make bgdrb itself play that role? i mean, the MiddleMan has already everything needed! a timer thread, currently used only for deleting old workers and the workers itself. since im not familiar with

Hello, I need to put a script in place for updating a local database with a remote resource periodically. It should be started alongside the server (or inside it, whatever) and be run as long as the server running my rails app is up an running. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I have thought of editing the environment.rb file and placing the call to the script trigger there, but I wonder

I, like many of you, have been searching for a good way to handle running long processes in Rails. So I rolled my own solution. I really want feedback! (I''ve tested this on very simple hello world examples, so don''t use it on anything production yet) . Grab the plugin: http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_cron Here''s the README: OVERVIEW ======== RailsCron is a way to

Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Is there any project or solution for an easy integration of a WFE / WfMS into rails? I''m quite new to this topic, but I probably need a small subset of workflow patterns (or whatever the correct term is) only. Any pointers are welcome. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
