So here''s the deal. I don''t know the innards of rails well enough to do this quickly but you might. First person to write this and release it under MIT license or public domain, and tells me, gets a free pizza from your favorite local delivery place. You pick the toppings, I''ll call ''em and order it up for you. Yeah a pizza isn''t much but I''m

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

In the customized autocomplete demo, how does it know what content to use as the value of the autocomplete? The returned UL has the name, email address and an image. Yet only the name is used. How does it do this? I''ve been trying to get something similar going all morning with little success. Also, what does :skip_style=>true do? I couldn''t seem to find a mention of it

I''m trying to do an IN query, where I have an array of user objects imaginatively named ''users'': :conditions=>["user_id IN (?)", users.collect{|u| u.id }.join('','')] this ends up with: ... IN(''1,2,3'') ... Obviously I want this to be: ... IN(1,2,3) ... or even ... IN(''1'', ''2'',

I''ve started getting the following error on Dreamhost when trying to run any scripts or dispatch.* [barry]$ ruby -d script/server Exception `LoadError'' at ./script/../config/boot.rb:6 - no such file to load -- pathname ./script/../config/boot.rb:6:in `require'': no such file to load -- pathname (LoadError) from ./script/../config/boot.rb:6 from

I''ve been testing the in-place-editor on a few things and it works well. One use-case I''ve just come across though is the need to load in the text from somewhere other than the source of the page. For example, I have a block of text which is marked up in texttile/markdown/whatever. Editing that block should bring up the unformatted markup, not the HTML it''s turned

I''m trying to use file_column in an app I''m writing. Simple file uploads are working fine. However, when I try and use the :magick options to make resized versions, WEBrick dies. This is the Media model: class Media < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :media_item, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => {:size =>

I''m trying to deploy an app on Dreamhost and I''m getting the infamous 500 Server Error. Nothing in the rails logs because it looks to be happening before it gets there. In the apache error logs we have: [Wed Apr 12 12:51:51 2006] [error] [client 194.80.32.9] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/rlivsey/thatsprogress.com/current/public/dispatch.fcgi"

I have the following 3 models (2 models joined by an intermediate): 1. class Exercise < ActiveRecord::Base 2. has_many :routines, :class_name=>''RoutineExercise'' 3. end 1. class Routine < ActiveRecord::Base 2. has_many :exercises, 3. :class_name=>''RoutineExercise'', 4. :order=>''position'' 5. end 1. class

I''ve written a plugin to allow for time based fragment caching. It lets you do things like: <% cache ''fragment_name'', 10.minutes.from_now do %> <p>something intensive which will be cached for 10 minutes</p> <% end %> Also, there''s a convenience method so that in your controllers you can do: when_fragment_expired

I have edge rails in /vendor/rails on DreamHost, but when running dispatch.fcgi I get the following error in my logs: [02/May/2006:08:52:32 :: 29365] terminated gracefully [02/May/2006:08:53:53 :: 19526] starting [02/May/2006:08:53:54 :: 19526] Dispatcher failed to catch: undefined method `clear_connection_cache!'' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class (NoMethodError)

Does anyone have any experience with subscriptions and PayPal? I''m currently weighing up the options of what payment system to use for an upcoming project which is subscription based and am not sure if PayPal is capable of doing what I want and if I need to setup a merchant account instead. Basically it''s the same kind of payment structure as BaseCamp. 3 or 4 accounts which

I''m trying to setup an app on Dreamhost and running into no end of problems. The app is running with edge rails and I''m currently getting the dreaded ''Rails application failed to start'' white screen when trying to access it. I''ve gone through all the ''gotchas'' and troubleshooting docs at Dreamhost and the rails wiki to no avail.

I recently upgraded to 1.8.4 to try out mongrel, and so far have been in a kind of hell where I can''t get my app working! Currently running (or trying to run): Ruby version 1.8.4 (i386-mswin32) RubyGems version 0.8.11 Rails version 1.0.0 Active Record version 1.13.2 Action Pack version 1.11.2 Action Web Service version 1.0.0 Action Mailer version 1.1.5 Active Support version

I have a join table I''m creating with a migration as follows: create_table :read_global_messages, :id=>false do |t| t.column :user_id, :integer t.column :message_id, :integer end So far so good, however I want the primary key to be user_id and message_id. How do I do this? I tried the following, but that doesn''t work: add_index

As far as I can tell, it''s not possible to use html_options in conjunction with the select_* helpers. This means using them in conjunction with observe_field etc is pretty much impossible. Does anyone have a patch to add this functionality, or know of a workaround? I''m having a look at the moment, but not sure how to get it working without breaking existing stuff. --

Greetings! I''m attempting to use the act_as_versioned plugin to provide versioning functionality for my rails app, but can''t think my way through this: How can you use act_as_versioned to perform versioning on a HABTM join table? It is easy to see how to do so for join models (:has_many :through) but not so for the join table. I want to use act_as_versioned to maintain

Hi all, I''m developing an app on a home Windows computer and using SVN/Capistrano to deploy to a Linux server. I''m encountering some bizarre behavior that I think has something to do with Linux and Windows text file types, but I''m not sure. What''s happening is that, whenever I edit my view files and reload the page in my local browser, I see errors saying

Can you do a periodically_call_remote to an action but then not display any new view? say the new action was called ADD. I don''t want to do an rhtml file for add, and I don''t want to render anything in the controller... I want to leave the page as it is. How is this done?

Heya all, There''s some new stuff in the script.aculo.us trunk as of today that needs to be tested, so maybe give it a shot: * Added Ajax.InPlaceCollectionEditor which uses a SELECT element instead of a text field (see test/functional/ ajax_inplacecollectioneditor_test.html for usage), #3491 [thx anna] * Enable in place editor to use RJS (implements a new evalScripts option for
