Not sure if this is old news or not, but it would appear that both the Ruby Cookbook and a Rails book are now available for purchase at O''Reilly Rough Cuts (something akin to PragProg''s beta book program): http://rubyurl.com/nHz http://my.safaribooksonline.com/?mode=roughcuts&srchtext=ROUGHCUTS I haven''t tried them yet, but it definitely seems worth checking out.

Hi, I''m attempting to add a route via a plugin. I attempted to add the following to my init.rb: myroute = ActionController::Routing::Routes.connect "boo2", :controller=>''plugin'', :action=>''index'' puts "path=#{myroute.path}" myroute.options.keys.each do |k| puts "#{k}=#{myroute.options[k]}" end The newly

It looks rails automatically creates a "finder" method on models that have a "belongs_to". So I tried this in the console: c = Category.find(2) chunks = Chunk.find_by_category(c) chunks is always returned as an empty array. When I know have some chunks with a category_id of 2. Should the find_by_category do what I think it should be doing or am I completely off base?

Hi, I''m struggling to get an Apache rewrite rule to work. I have a simple rule that for a request to "a.html" will be sent to "b.html". However the requests for "a.html" are always sent to my Rails apps. Here is my Apache configuration: <VirtualHost 216.154.219.19:80> <Directory /u/apps/simplelog_2.0.2/public/> Options FollowSymLinks

Subject says it all. Anybody taken a look yet? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/railsckbk/?CMP=ILC-GG7423313304&ATT=railsckbk After buying the Ruby Cookbook and the other Rails book, I''m pretty gunshy about another Rough Cuts purchase. Sean

although basically hopeful of the company''s ''rough cuts'' venture, i am insulted by the fact that o''reilly''s safari service offers important material to its regular subscribers only if they pay extra for it. o''reilly''s material on ajax is a good example: all of the introductory coverage is available only as pricey ''rough

Hi all, a little off topic, but was wondering what the best way is to re-write incoming requests so that they all end up at the same domain. For example, if I had: my_domain.net my_domain.com my_domain.org Whats the best way to map/redirect all of these to www.my_domain.com ? I know its possible, just not sure what to add for rules/virtual hosts in my apache config. Thanks for the help! -Nick

I just got a new Debian Sarge server and followed the brainspl.at "Debian Lighttpd Rails Stack" tutorial. The only place I deviated was the version of Lighty. The page uses 1.4.7 and I spotted that 1.4.10 was available. I installed that and couldn''t get anywhere. Lighty died on first access from the test rails app, and even from a ultra basic static config. No log,

Hello all, I am developing an online store and would like to keep track of how many times each product was viewed. While I can keep track of page hits using something like webalizer, this won''t really work (I don''t think) as the pages are not going to be static. Has anyone else implemented this and if so could you please point me in the right direction. A potential solution

Hi all, Sorry if I should be posting this elsewhere--I couldn''t find an Instiki specific mailing list, but the Instiki site is down. I wanted to mention that my friend Tim Lauer and I are going to be doing a short "high order bit" talk at the O''Reilly Emerging Technologies conference, describing a particular use of Instiki which we came up with:

Hi, I''m attempting to migrate an app from Apache+FCGI to Apache+Mongrel. I''m using Apache 2.0 with the latest Mongrel release. I''m having an issue with the Mint stats package and Mongrel not picking up the following url: /mint/?js Basically inside the /mint folder there is an index.php, so the url /mint/?js should really be going to /mint/index.php?js When I had my

Hi, First of all I love Mongrel and I want to say thanks! My questions are related to how things work compared to Apache+FCGI background 1. With FCGI I would normally setup multiple FGI processes do I need to setup multiple Mongrel processes? Or is Mongrel thread based? Does the --num-procs flag work the same way? 2. Is there one database connection per process? Thanks in advance.

I''m using Rails 1.1 and I''m trying to quiet the logger. I searched the mailing list and placed the following inside my environment.rb: RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = (RAILS_ENV == ''production'' ? Logger::INFO : Logger::DEBUG) But I keep getting: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'':

Hi, I don''t know if this question should be posted here on the Rails list or the Mongrel list, but I''ll try here first. I had been using Aapache+FCGI and when I run the following code from my server''s domain "perficient.com" it returns "perficient.com:80": port = @request.env["SERVER_PORT"]==''80'' ? '''' :

Does anyone have any experience with using flickr.rb? Seems the only thing which is documented for it is searching through your photos. Anyway, all I''m trying to do is return a list of my 20 most recent photos, but nothing seems to work. doing this returns 100 photos for a given user (which takes all day to load) @flickr = Flickr.new ''API KEY'' @user =

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is
