Hi, Suppose I want to redefine the Ruby String class in a Rails app. In which file is it the most suitable to write the redefinition?

Hi, How can I know the iteration number of a *render (:partial)* iterating through a collection? Example: I got a collection containing 3 elements: *John *Pierre *Chris John would respond to 1, Pierre to 2 and Chris to 3 and so on... Kind of like the *cycle* method acts but to know the iteration number. Guillaume Carbonneau -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Can I get some opinions on which free DB to use with rails for a virtual server that will eventually be doing lots of heavy database lifting? Not a lot of heavy duty querying per se. Think multiple simultaneous forums and blog sites and the like. I know each of the different DB possibilities such as MySQL and PostgreSQL has plus points and minus points. I''m particularly interested

Hi, Nuby on Rails here trying to bring up an existing app on a new installation. The whole ruby/rails/mysql/lighty installation was done per the much touted "hivelogic article" that runs through all the steps. I am running into a permission error when I try to do a rake migrate to set up a session database needed by this existing app. Extracted from the trace... ** Execute

Hi, I''m pretty newb at Rails deployement stuff. I''m setting up a Mongrel web server on windows following the tutorial on the official site. My app works except when there''s interaction with MySQL. I get this error : "Uninitialized constant Mysql" Now i''m pretty lost and i''m sure i''m doing something wrong. I''ve tried

Just a positive experience I would like to share with you : testing is great on paper but very tedious to apply because nobody wants to run manually the tests by hand. Last week I have discovered zentest, an automated test process command line utility. That was at the beginning (hopefully) of a new project. Believe it or not, I have started to code most parts of the application without using

I''m on a Win2K server environnement running ruby 1.8.5 and mongrel I''ve followed the tutorial and everything went fine until I start the service... Here is the output I''m getting : C:\ruby\bin??>mongrel_rails service::start -N inventaire One moment, start pending One moment, stopped One moment, stopped One moment, stopped One moment, stopped One moment, stopped

When you put up a page with a form on it and the top item is a text field it would be nice to have that field already focused instead of forcing the user to click in it before they start typing. Is there a rails (i.e. probably Prototype) way of giving focus to a field? I did some searching and found nothing. thanks, jp P.S. I''m on a Mac. Perhaps a winoze and/or unix automatically

Hi, Noob here. One problem faced by developers of active content is making sure that the final results of their magic result in URL''s that Google and other search engines are comfortable with. Otherwise, your content won''t ever get spydered and indexed and ultimately returned in a google user''s results pages. In reading the agile rails book, it seems that the

How can I capture the IP address of a user who is posting my sign-in or login forms? I want to store it as part of my user information so that if I want to block the user in the future, I can also block the IP address they used to sign in. thanks, jp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

just wondering if there is a better way to create a nice view other than using iweb. like, it would be nice if you can design a view, and then just add the ruby tags. thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok, maybe its a short walk, not a drive... I have it working just fine using smtp in development env from my OSX machine. When I deploy it to the server (which happens to be the same box where the smtp server lives), no email, no errors, nothing in the Postfix logs. I''ve double checked that my production and development action mailer settings are identical. Here''s whats in the

I have a view where I render a partial over a collection. Each instance of the partial includes a <div> with an id specific to that instance. Inside the partial, there is a select tag for "year". I''m trying to change some of the contents of the partial when user changes the year. I''m using this in the view: <%= select_tag :year,

Total Ruby Noob here. Just in the throws of reading the books and choosing an isp for my server etc. If you are developing a "one-off" rails app with the intent of using it on an isp hosted server, would it normally work better to develop and debug the thing locally (like on a Mac for instance), and then go through a round of "move it to the server and retest everything there

Hi, I''m trying to figure out the best way to protect images uploaded by users who may wish to keep them private. For example, if they are uploaded in the default file_column location (/public/blah/blah/1/) then someone can simply type the URL http://www.blah.com/blah/blah/1 and get the image. I can store the images in a non-public directory in the rails app (ie: /railsapp/images/X/)

Following the advice here I''ve been trying to get subversion installed and working from my virtual dedicated server this weekend. I believe everything is installed properly, and that all that''s left is to get the apache httpd.conf file set up correctly. to talk to my server with my client I''m using the path: http://svn.mylittlecorneroftheinternet.com/svn/repos/ error

I''m working on an app that includes the feature to allow user to download a csv file of their data. I''ve got it working on my local machine, but when I deploy it, the link I''m making doesn''t work for doing the download. The file IS being created in the location I''m intending, but the file download only works on my local machine and not on the server.

So I''m wondering about the origin of "ActiveRecord" and "ActionPack" and the like in Rails. I''ve always thought that perhaps DHH found himself in a suit one day (maybe he had to attend a friend''s wedding or something), and as long as he had the suit on, decided to lapse into a one of the barely lucid frenzies that Marketing people are prone to when

This is my first rails app with a legacy database and I''m having a terrible time getting the models set up correctly. I have an order table that has a primary field named order_number. I have a name table with a primary of item_number. These two tables are liked by the item_number and the order_number, but not as you might think. If the order_number is 2500, then each entry in

Just wanted to let anyone know that might have checked out the generator before and couldn''t use it b/c you''re project required graceful degredation. Well its in there now.
