For a while i''ve been storing image in my PHP apps in the filesystem, but with the potential for a Rails project coming up i thought it was time for a review :0) In everyone''s experience, is it best to store uploaded images in the db or just stick them on the filesystem with a reference in the db? I''ve seen various performance tests and security arguments for and

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

This is a bit of a nuby question methinks but i''ve had a play/search around and it''s just bugging me now :0) Say I have a conditional statement, testing a variable against a number of values. The first way i did this is like so: if myvar != "" and myvar != 0 and myvar != nil # .. code end This seems a bit messy - is there neater way of doing this? I thought of:

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own.

Hey there, I''m in the muck of a major rails project, and need a bit of advice. Google isn''t much help in this case, so I came here.

I''m using the friendly_id plugin to enable easy lookup with the user''s username,

Greetings! Is there some special syntax required to use the match operator (=~) in a find operation? Or is it not possible? I''ve got some data items from an external source that could be capitalized or not. So right now I''m stuck with doing: Item.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ? or name =?", Potatoes, potatoes]) I''d prefer to do:

Some blog sites and others (ticketmaster, for example) require you to read a graphical representation of a word or number to prevent a form from being submitted programmatically. I''d like to do something similar on a new site I''m building. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a standard term for these graphical representations? i.e. how would I do a google search for this

I''ve noticed that it is common practise in forms to use: <label for="tablename","columnname"> ...Some column name</label> Why is the above construct better than just writting it this way? <label> Some column name</label> If there is not compelling reason, I''d prefer to use the second example and save on typing. -- Best Regards,
