Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method. I wonder if it is possible to speed up that process? To create the report, I do the following: 1) Setup pdf layout: # Setup pdf layout pdf.select_font("Helvetica", { :encoding => "WinAnsiEncoding"})

Hi, I have a some image files that belongs to some users. Only the owner of an image should be able to see it. How can I do that? I don''t think I can use send_data, because I want the image to be displayed on a "rendered" page. I don''t think I can place the images in the public folder, because if some user can figure out the name of the image then he''ll be

Okay, I download login generator and I used it on my new app but, it''s not working correctly. If the user logins on the same session as he created he will login if it isn''t the same session it fails. What''s going on? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m writing a simple CMS where every item ("listing") HABTM categories and subcategories (which themselves belong_to a category). What I''m trying to do now is create a UI effect for listing creation: when you go to create a listing, only the possible categories will be shown, but when you select a category a set of new categories will be displayed like so: Lions

Heyo! I am setting up a self-referencial habtm relationship with the users of my app. I am using Chad Fowler''s "Rails Recipes" to get me started, and everything works great with the join table "people_friends". I add friends by doing somebody.friends << somebodyelse. However, with my app, there is an approval process so my join table has columns person_id,

Hi, I would like to create reports from some of the views of my application. By "report" I mean a file formatted so that it can be easily saved and printed. To make myself just even more clear, let''s imagine I have an application that handles information about movies. When I display a movie, it shows in an html page with the name, category, actors and reviews of this movie.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models. I could use STI, but I think the table would just have too many columns. Now, I wanted to let the Dog''s, Whale''s

I am using the SaltedHashLoginGenerator. and would like to send the e-mail in multipart/alternative format. By default my application is using forgot_password_en.rhtml template.

So I''ve sort of come to the conclusion that if I wanna get stuff done, I need to either A) Find some dang money and pay people to do it or B) Do it myself. I''m opting for B. Soooo...now I''ve got some programming/technologies to learn. I''m self-employed and I can afford to take a month (or 2) off to totally immerse myself in this and learn how to do it.

Hello Everyone - Newbie here. My programming experience is primarily SQL, SAS (if anyone knows that), and a little tiny bit of ASP. Want to get going on Rails. Any suggestions? Was thinking of "4 Days on Rails". Thoughts? Thanks - Brian

I have the rails recipes book and i was going through the migrations recipe. Everything seemed to work except for the last part in trying to do a rake migrate with a migration file version 1 and the schema_info version set to 0. Without the force attribute, the rake migration fails, as expected. So the recipe says to run this: ruby script/runner

I am trying to get more out of auto_complete than it apparently was designed to deliver. My problems seem to be two fold. 1 - I use aggregations on names... :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name and then aggregate them using a composed_of :wholename thing auto_complete_for seems to be wired to only use table columns directly and gags on the aggregate form. 2 - foreign table columns -

Just in case some of you missed it, Pragmatic Programmers just published their first of a series of short, PDF-only books. This one is on qtRuby. It would be great to have something like this for wxRuby. I don''t think wxRuby is quite ready to this (yet), but I thought I''d plant the idea.

Hi, I''m using AutoComplete from script.aculo.us and want to combine this with a call to a database. Is there any work done so far or do I have to implement all on my own. The only thing I have seen is using results from a file on the server. But that is not very handy. Some words to my background. I''m programming for a project at my university. Our aim is to combine the

I''m an RJS newbie. I just did the tutorial at http://www.codyfauser.com/articles/2005/11/20/rails-rjs-templates, and then used wget to look at the output the RJS template generates. This is what I got: try { new Insertion.Bottom("list", "<li>Fox</li>"); new Effect.Highlight("list",{duration:1}); Element.update("header", "RJS
