Unfortunately a number of our clients need extensive reporting capabilities. There are a number of Java 3d graphing libraries like the link below and PHP offerings out there. http://big.faceless.org/products/graph/index.jsp .Net has its new report viewer control for ASP.net 2.0 which allows you to create 2d/3d reports containing pie charts, line graphs etc. Whats cool about this control is

Is anyone using formats with the url generator in trunk? I can''t figure it out and it seems to be unimplemented in the router code. I want to do something like url(:articles, :format => "xml") # => /articles.xml or url(:formatted_articles, :format => "xml") -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................

I like the style of the Merb plugin manager....installing gems straight from RubyForge. However, the current implementation in trunk wants to find an install script and a Rakefile.merb. Many gems would still be useful without this and could be easily packaged with a Merb app for deployment. Right now it wil "rescue nil" if no uninstall script is found, but the others are required. Is

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:

I just launched the website for Rails Day 2006, the second annual 24 hour Ruby on Rails development contest. Teams of one to three people have 24 hours to develop a Rails application from scratch. When the contest is over, entries are judged, and cool prizes are awarded. http://www.railsday2006.com/ Sponsoring Rails Day is a great way to promote your company to the geek demographic. If

Mosquito, the TDD framework for Camping has been updated (0.1.3). We''ve tried to keep it backwards compatible, so your apps should continue to work.

For your entertainment, a simple Camping app to watch your Backpack account and show a list of recently updated pages. I hope to implement an RSS feed soon.

why has mentioned this before, but I wrote a small test framework for Camping and it is now available as a gem. sudo gem install mosquito If you''d like to write unit or functional test for your Camping app, check it out: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/MosquitoForBugFreeCamping http://rubyforge.org/projects/mosquito Several people have already submitted patches and

Currently, Merb just shows a string on error: "500 Internal Server Error" I''ve added this to my merb_init.rb: if MERB_ENV == ''production'' module Merb def self.html_exception(e) File.read(DIST_ROOT + "/public/500.html") end end end http://nubyonrails.com/500.html Potentially a plugin could be written to log this to the database.

Argh....ignore that last message. It looks like the trunk was already updated to serve public/500.html sometime in the past week. -- Geoffrey Grosenbach ........................ Blog | http://nubyonrails.com Podcast | http://podcast.rubyonrails.com Screencast | http://peepcode.com

Is anyone developing with HAML templates in Merb? I had to do a few hacks but got it generally working (Merb trunk). I did have to do odd things like print @_layout_content straight out instead of calling catch_content(:layout). And, templates seem to be cached even if I set :cache_templates to false in merb.yml. I hope to be at the MerbHack night at RailsConf and would love to hack on this part

I''ve noticed that when using Geoffrey Grosenbach''s Sparkline Graphs Gem, the Rails built-in generator help stops working i.e. I type script/generate and it just returns without outputting anything. Can anyone reproduce this or is it just me? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello everybody, I wanted to bring testing to a higher level The first idea was calling a rake script from within the test_helper ... to be honest, I don''t have a clue how to do this ... though I''m probably not going to do this, I would love to know how I could if I wanted too. The second Idea was using using the Fixture script from Geoffrey Grosenbach. also in test_helper,

Happy RailsDay! While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out some of the docs I''ll never write anyway. I also took the time to apply some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects in Mongrel. Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are: *

For a programming competition (http://railsday.com) I recently entered, I created a web-application to nicely display mail archives. I've loaded up a couple of months worth of r-devel mail and made it available here: http://listomagic.had.co.nz/ The big advantages over the currrent mailman archive are: * messages are threaded, and messages in a thread are displayed together, and some
