similar to: gems vs plugins

Hello, How does Rails deal with the pluralization of community. I have "community" as my model name. Will Rails automatically look for a table name "communities" or do I have to name the table "communitys"? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''m just getting started with GD2 and have successfully made a few dynamic PNGs. I need to make some fairly detailed line graphs on the fly and I know that GD2 is capable of what I want but I strongly suspect I''m reinventing the wheel badly. Are there gems or other projects that help creating complex charts? I''ve used GDChart in the distant past but I

Hello List, If I have a module and the address looks like / admin/:controller/:action and I want to create a link to /:controller/:action, how do I have to specify that in a ''link_to'' or in a ''redirect :controller =>'' statement. It doesn''t strip the /admin part from it, which makes sense, but I need to go to a controller in the root. TIA,

Fellows of the cloth -- I''m writing code that subclasses RedCloth and emits styled text that is not HTML. For example, I''m going to be emitting RTF and other formats from Textile or Markdown. I''ve got it working quite well with plainclothed RedCloth, but I can''t seem to override any of the methods in SuperRedCloth. Here''s a sample:

Hi, I want to write a plugin that uses JavaScript and I am wondering how to put the static content, i.e. the JavaScript, in place? I read the documentation I found ( http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Plugins and links) and looked at the listed plugins. One thing I found was that subversion seems to be a prerequisite for providing or even installing plugins. Is that right? The other thing

Is it possible to display the log files in the view? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am currently experimenting on rake freeze_gems and there is something I do not understand. When I freeze_gems my app, it puts Rails in the /vendor/ directory, which works. But what about all other gems I have installed (for example Unicode, sqlite support, mysql support and so on)? The aim of freezing is to be independant of the versions of the ISP, but it seems that the server still

I have a few forms that I''d like users to fill out. The results of the form will be sent to a few addresses. What''s the least painless way to do this and keep everything DRY? There''s no database involved. Ideally, I''d like to email the form questions with the answers inline. Seems like using ActionMailer and separate email views would be overkill in this

The second release of TentSteak is out and available as a gem on rubyforge ("gem install tent_steak"). This version introduces a handful of new form helpers, a couple method renames, editable HTML tables, and some application bootstrappers for kickstarting Camping and initializing ActiveRecord. It''s still in active development, and I''d very much appreciate

I created some scaffolding for an Address model and an Addresses controller. When running the functional tests for the addresses controller, I get this exception: "NameError: uninitialized constant Addres" The exception seems to start from this function: def list @address_pages, @addresses = paginate :address, :per_page => 10 end I''m guessing pluralization bug?

Hi, Anyone got any cool tricks for converting a Rails site (in this case, a typo installation) from a mysql database to a postgresql database? I''ve got it almost working -- I''m doing a SQL dump from mysql and loading it into postgres. However, mysql does booleans as a tinyint with 0 = false and 1 = true. When I try to import that into a postgres database that expects booleans

Ok, so now Users need to be associated with Organizations. I''ve created a migration and added a ''organization_id'' column to the users table. I want the default organization_id to be the first Organization. So I have :default => Organization.find(:first). But it''s complaining about not being able to find the constant ''Organization''. Any

I had to add a check box indicating that a user accepted certain terms to a page. So, I put in a ''validates_acceptance_of :terms'' line into the appropriate model and added a checkbox to my view. Everything works as expected in my web browser. However, my functional tests still pass and I didn''t add or change anything to them. I was expecting to have to add another

Is the information in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowtoUploadFiles on caching images still the best way on how to cache images that are served from the database? I haven''t added time information to my image table yet, and the images are sent after every single page view (even if it''s been downloaded already). Joe

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

All of a sudden, I''m getting this error: 1) Error: test_index(AccountControllerTest): RuntimeError: The number of parameters does not match the number of substitutions. /home/joe/projects/tanga/trunk/config/../vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/assertions.rb:92:in `assert_redirected_to''

Anyone got any tips for running Rails (w/ either webrick or lighttpd/fcgi) on a VPS with a pretty small amount of memory (like 64MB memory and 64MB swap). Thanks, Joe

So, what''s the status of this project? I''m a little confused. The documentation at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org seems out of date. It refers to http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1, which doesn''t work. All I want is a way to easily set up tasks that should run periodically. Some stuff should run every 10 seconds, some stuff once a day, etc.

For a medium-sized website, does one machine for database server (either mysql or postgres) and another for the web server (lighttpd) sound ok? How much traffic could I expect to handle? (I know it depends on the application, but some rough estimates would be nice) Joe

Hi, I have a Rails site that uses a before_filter in the application controller that does some authentication and authorization work. I also have a bunch of HTML in folders in the application''s public directory. Before a user can view anything in the public directory, I''d like to authenticate them. How could I do that? I''m using mongrel, if it matters. Thanks, Joe
