I just notices my app was down, and in the log file were lots of these: No space left on device - ../config/../tmp/sessions//ruby_sess.898b1cf95e14f8e3 So i figured that i had too many sessions.

I am pretty much new at this ROR game and had what I think to be a simple question. I have a set of Sponsors that I would like to be able to select one at random and display in the my html.

Hi , I was trying to use link_to along with image_tag to setup a link that would open in an external window. But I was unable to make a link using both text & an image So my current workaround looks like this inside a partial where link is http://foo.com & text would be descriptive <img src="images/arrow.gif" border="0"/> <%= link_to(text, link, :popup

Hiall, Call me stupid if you like .,) but it seems i can''t figure out how to get a named link using a combination of link_to and image_tag. What I need is basically a link displaying a name along with some image to indicate status (open,working,finished). I found no combination of link_to and image_tag that accepts a name, this seems to be solely used for making whole images into links

Is there any way to disable image_tag''s automatic escaping of special html entities in it''s :alt tag? Example: >From the controller: @sale[''title''] = ''My Company Product&copy;'' In the view: <%= image_tag(''path/to/file.png'', :alt => @sale[''title'']) %> Output: <img alt="My Company

Hi, I correctly see: image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium") now I need to make it a link so I''ve used: <%= link_to(image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium"), {:controller => "products", :action => "sec_level", :level_id => @element.id}) unless

I''ve got a rather long conditional statement that either displays a link_to(image_tag(blah)blah) or just an image_tag (i''ve edited it a bit to show the structure): <%= (article.score_from_user(:user_id => session[:user]) != -1) ?

Hi: does button_to_function allow the use of an image? I tried it in place of the text with "image_tag" and it doesn''t work. Maybe some form of button_to? Any direction you can give would be great!

I have a big report to produce from a Rails app that takes several minutes to put together. I hoped backgroundrb would be able to pull together all the ActiveRecord stuff in the background then throw it back to Rails for rendering.
