Gents, I''m using the acts_as_taggable rails plugin (not gem), and would like to add some additional methods to it. For example, the find_tagged_with methods essentially does a find tag in a list (effectively an OR), while I''d like to implement a find_tagged_with_all method that would implement an AND (so if I specified 4 tags, it would only return items that were

Guys, I have a relationship between model classes that I believe is best represented by inheritance, but the likelihood that things will change often is driving us to composition instead. So, I have a class called Autos, and subclasses called Suvs, Minis, Mids, Sports, for example. We have been requested to avoid the STI approach to this, because of fear of a quickly growing table with

Guys, I''m in the market for a reliable, trustworthy dedicated server solution. I''ve been running my own servers internally on a Speakeasy Static IP DSL connection, but recent problems with my local loop has caused me to reconsider this solution. completelydedicated.com offers a value Sempron for $59/monthly...a bit higher than I wish to go but I have no choice.

Gents, My heads been out of the sql game for too long (or it''s simply too early). I''m trying to extend the acts_as_taggable plugin (note: not gem) so that you can specify a list of tags you''re interested in, and the plugin will return only those items that are tagged with *all* these tags. The plugin uses primarily two tables: tags, to keep all the various tag

Hello. Is it possible to update multiple DIVs during? For example I have DIV for @flash[:notice], and one for content and I need to render both DIVs after executing action.

Guys, I''m frankly overwhelmed by the number of Rails authentication options(?) out there...from ActiveRBAC to acts_as_authenticated to LoginEngine and so on...so many options, yet on resource I''ve found really distinguishes between each. This is sad, as authentication and user management is really an area where some Rails simplicity pixie dust could be a real boon to

Greetings! Is there a way to get RoR to redirect_to another action after doing a sendfile? My little app lets the user enter a bunch of data and then creates an XML file from it. I''m using sendfile to let the user download the XML file. Once they download the file I want to take them to a new view that presents a logout button that will trigger a cleanup. But it looks like RoR

If you need to call one action, have it do some preparatory work, and then call another action, what''s the proper way to do this? It appears render_component will work, but the docs say it''s expensive and should be avoided. Thanks for the help. BA -- B.A. Baracus: I thought you weren''t crazy no more?

Just curious...since Morfik is going after Google...do you think they''ll try to claim RJS violates their patent as well? I for one think such a claim would be ludicrous, but we all know patent lawsuits and rationale are polar opposites. B.A. -- B.A. Baracus: I thought you weren''t crazy no more?

And, more interesing, how can I make one AJAX-Call start when the previous has completely finished ? I''ve read about Effect.Queues - is

Is there any particular distro that seems to be most used among RoR developers on Linux? Any that might provide better support somehow for development of RoR apps? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi List! Following http://rcss.rubyforge.org/files/README.html, I''m trying to get RCSS to work with Rails. The rcss command itself works fine, but when trying to access http://localhost:3000/rcss/test.css I always get "Unknown action - No action responded to test.css", which I don''t understand since the route and controller are in place. Anyway, hopefully this is

Hi, I wanted to be able to use some Rails code inside CSS files, so I set up a controller (StylesController) to serve CSS files that reside inside the controller''s view folder when the browser requests /stylesheets/:action So in the controller I just define empty actions with the names I want my style sheets in (ie: def cooleffects end - that would respond to

I was recently having problems accessing attributes in an object. Can somebody explain to me why this is, and if it is a bug? I have the following code: @archives = RapturePost.find_by_sql "select distinct date_format(rapture_posts.date_created,''%Y-%m'') date_created from rapture_posts where rapture_posts.site_id = 1 order by rapture_posts.date_created desc" I

Hi All Not specifically a scriptaculous question, but I was wondering how people were going about maintaining access to their applications via standard urls. Say for example I''ve a shop at www.shop.com, and its pure ajax to load in products. Now customer A wants to show a friend a product on the site - giving him the url www.shop.com and telling him to click on a series of links

Here''s the scenario. I have a main tree-like table (actually it''s more of a hierarchy), where the entries (or at least some of them) can be categorised as one or more of a fixed number of types (prob about 6 poss types). So an entry could be a Type A and a Type D; a Type C, D, E; just a Type F; etc. Having a join table would seem like it might get rather expensive since

Somebody suggested SmallCap and that sounds great. This is by no stretch of the imagination Capistrano, so it might better be named MicroCap but it may be useful to some who have (as I do) modest needs in this regard, especially for on-server versioning. Here''s a preview of the usage: Usage: ruby smallcap.rb [options] -s, --server=SERVER Copies app to specified
