I want to use observe_form to automatically save notes in a text_area. This is the code I have: <form id=''notes_form''> <%= text_area :contact, :notes, :cols => 40, :rows => 10, :id =>''notes_text_area'' %> <%= observe_form(''notes_form'', :frequency => 1,

Hi, I have rubygems installed in my home directory as I''d like to have control over gems without requiring root access. I''m trying to deploy a known working rails app on this machine but it falls down at the "require ''rubygems''" line in boot.rb. I have added the path to rubygems to LOAD_PATH in environment.rb; this is confirmed by dumping $: to a

Hi, I''ve been using backgroundrb with some success up to now, but now when I do the start or setup tasks they just fail silently. Nothing in the log, no .pid file, and nothing in the process list. Rake with -trace just says, ** Invoke backgroundrb:setup (first_time) ** Execute backgroundrb:setup Any hints on how I can get more verbosity, or thoughts on what might be happening? (This

Hi, I have a link_to_remote name ''Show notes'', which calls an action that uses this RJS template: page.replace "notes_remote", :partial => "notes/hide_notes_link" page.insert_html :top, "notes_list", :template => "notes/list" page.visual_effect :highlight, ''notes_list'', :duration => 3 Works great. The

Hi, First, thanks for the plugin. Sorry if this is not strictly a backgroundrb issue but I thought others on this list might have come across this problem. I''m trying to run the test that comes via the worker generator. The test works fine when running ''rake test_functional'', but when the tests are run by autotest I get "uninitialized constant BackgrounDRb"

Anyone has done work with Ruby-Ldap? and maybe could provide some examples? I have to admit that I am rather lost using this. I am looking to do a Rails interface to manage LDAP servers but I can''t seem to find how to do this in Ruby and for example retrieve the elements, attributes, and change them. This is what I have done so far.... --- #!/appl/ruby/bin/ruby -w require

Hi, I am getting my hands on trying the cool BackgrounDrb plugin. Following various discussions and suggestsion, I included "include DRbUndumped" in my ActiveRecord model. However, the following exception occurs after I tried this and hit the page that uses this model. Does anyone know why this is so? Is it possible that an object cannot be DRbUndumped (that would mean, we

I tried installing BackgrounDRb today. Followed the readme, made a little worker for myself and executed it within the code. But I keep getting this error. I must''ve gone over the README a zillion times. Any idea what it is? undefined method `[]'' for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x2501bd4>

All, My apologies if this is a little long-winded and stream of consciousness-y :). SUMMARY: Why do we extend ActiveRecord instead of mixing it in to our model classes? Been thinking about my app''s models and starting to want to build something of a hierarchy. I have some commonality across 3 of my model classes and I''d liek to aggregate the behavior in a superclass.

Hi, I have "include DRbUndumped" in one of my model classes. Whenever my app accesses the session I get the following: can''t dump /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:395:in `_dump'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pstore.rb:349:in `dump'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/pstore.rb:327:in `transaction'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi/session/pstore.rb:90:in `update''

Hi, Is there a trick to being able to see local variables and method parameters at a breakpoint? I could swear this used to work, but now I get "NameError: undefined local variable or method" when I try and look at anything other than instance variables. jh -- James Hughes Web application developer Vancouver, BC "Developing a coherent political analysis is in many respects

Hi, The standard setup: class Task: has_many :studies, :class_name => "Study" has_many :datasets, :through => "studies" class Dataset: has_many :studies has_many :tasks, :through => ''studies'' class Study: belongs_to :task belongs_to :dataset Now, if I have an edit view for my Task, is it possible to set up the form so that in the

Hi, Page 183 of Programming Ruby, talking about the $: load path variable, states: "You can always add additional directories to this array from within your running program". So why can''t I do this in environment.rb: $:.concat(Dir["/home/jhughes/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8"]) # path points at my install of rubygems and then have require ''rubygems''

Hi, I have auto_complete working generating a list and populating a text box in a form. The problem arises when I add the :on_hide option as follows: <%= auto_complete_field "search", { :url => {:action => "search"}, :on_hide => "foo($(''selected_uid''), $(''search_list''))"} > %> :on_hide makes everything stop

Hi, Does it make sense to test a worker class by calling Middleman.new_worker? Or should I just be testing the functionality in the do_work method, with, say, a mock object. This seems like a really ugly DRY violation: you''d need to keep the code in the mock and the real worker in sync. That''s the philosophical half of my question. In fact, until someone tells me why I

Hi there. Have this code, and i need to find put why it fails. >>Controller ------------ def update @user = User.find(@params[:id]) if @user.update_attributes(@params[:user]) flash[:notice] = ''The user was successfully updated.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @user else flash[:notice] = "Error: The user

I have a simple case statement in one of my views. This works fine on my windows machine. Move to the mac and I get: "parse error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kWHEN".

...or, what is the best practise for ensuring that capistrano gets plugin code to the production server? Do you hook up your plugins to the originating repository (thereby automatically picking up changes to the plugin), or check them into your application''s repo and use "script/plugin update" to keep plugins fresh? Does that method mess with your .svn directories? thanks for

Thank you Gregory your code worked to remove the border in syslinux! It wasn?t the Alpha (that changes the opacity of the border color), but it was the ?shadowing? that had to be changed, so ?none? in the shadowing column worked(you notice the border come back if you change ?none? to ?std?) reference this link for terms: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Menu#MENU_COLOR !
