similar to: One DB, multiple copies of the app?

Hi, I have a Windows program that collects data and would like to store this data in a database that is usually accessed through Rails. It was recommended that I try to "POST" the data to the Rails application. I''m running into some problems trying to format my POST string for the application. I''m trying to learn by interfacing to the TODO application (Four Days

In an *.rhtml, why do I need to add <% for product in @products %> in order that I may call an <img class="list-image" src="<%= product.img_url %>"/>. Is there not another way to skip the "for product" line? I really dont want to include it. I tried @products = product but it does not work. Can anyone help shed light on this matter? -- Posted via

Hello all, Can anyone recommend any free(ish) Ruby photo album components? Preferably something with a user structure built in. Cheers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been experimenting with Rails over the past couple of days and have come across something that seems harder than it should be. In previous frameworks I have used (WebObjects, php) a full search page (which leads into a list view populated with search results) was part of the CRUD that was either dynamically or statically created after specifying table/object schema. In

Sorry if the answer is obvious (nube alert) but would it be possible for me to access the DB of a php app using a mysql database, from within my Rails app? I want to install my (php) forums in forum.site.com, and my main site (using rails) will be at the root, site.com - so could I list the latest forum thread, in my Rails side of the site, by simply accessing the mysql database directly? Guess

Here are a few suggestions, wondering what others thought: When you generate a model for a DB table, it would be nice if the model.rb contained the DB schema (kind of like # commented out schema) right in the model file. This would make reference WAY easier and put all of the DB stuff in one easy file. Thanks. also nice, of course, woudl be for rails to try and ''guess'' the

Is there anywhere that I can download the Ruby/Rails documentation & APIs so I can peruse it offline at leisure? I only have a dialup connection at home and going online all the time to access important documentation like that is a bit of a pain. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. I have to convert the contents of all columns to uppercase before creating a row. Is there an easy way to accomplish this so I don''t have to go one column at a time and upcase! it? Thanks.

I don''t know whether this is a bug or feature, and I don''t know whether this belongs to Gmailer (http://rubyforge.org/projects/gmailutils) in specific or Rails/Ruby in general. I have an instance method in an ActiveRecord model, that upon a web request using WEBrick, spawns off a thread, in which it invokes Gmailer to perform some processing. What fails is that simply

What''s a rule of thumb for guesstimating how many Mongrels to use in a cluster for an app? I have an app that gets about 5000 unique visitors per day. I figured I''d give it plenty of Mongrels -- twenty to be specific. After running out of memory and hitting the swap periodically, I scaled it back to five and it still seems to serve up visitors fine. So, is there some super-secret

I often forward IBM DeveloperWorks articles about RoR to this list.

Hi all, I have a really really annoying problem that''s driving me nuts with file_field and paperclip and having to upload images everytime a form is edited even though the user is quite happy with the currently uploaded image or loose the previously uploaded image. This seems to be caused by the rails file_field helper not storing the data that has been read in from the db in the same

Hi - I'll be the first to say I don't completely understand Windows networking, but I did get the following to work when everybody (clients-w95/server-solaris) were on the same subnet. W95 boots up and prompts for username,password, and domain. I log in, and presto I'm connected and netlogon scripts run and everything is great. This is when I'm testing it on a completely

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

Hi all - I have the latest samba up and running fine except for one small problem. The username I use to log into the NT domain is different than the username I log into samba with. I have no control over the former, and would *really* rather not change the latter. I've searched the net, and the archives, and got only saw bits and pieces of this issue, never quite fully answered. Is it

One of the areas where I think Rails goes too far is in many of the helpers that (AFAICT) do nothing more than change the syntax used to write simple HTML tags. link_to and many of the form tags come to mind. For me, these helpers aren''t that helpful. I find the HTML much clearer to write and read, I don''t see any added value in the overhead costs of using code to

to wrap each instance variable of an ActiveRecord object between "<td>" and "</td>", is there a way to "loop through" them, at least in the debug mode, no matter there is getter methods to get them or not, or at least the ones with the getter methods?
