Just wanted to send a quick thank you to the contributers on this forum. Today, with the help of many around here, I launched ohdontforget.com! Ohdontforget.com allows US visitors to schedule sms text messages for a specific date and time, for free. Although I have officially, launched, there is still room for improvement. I used this project as a learning opportunity for Ruby on Rails and

I would like to set up a global variable to count how many times a specific method is executed, but I would like the variable to keep counting regardless of sessions, restarting the app, etc. Is this possible? Or... I could just do a simple read/write to a text file on the server, but I''m not finding any good tutorials or examples about simple text i/o... any suggestions? Thanks!

I have my app up and running at www.domainname.com/controller/ ... but need to get it set up at just www.domainname.com I see that by default, rails is loading the pre-made index file in the /public dir.

I built my rails app locally, and just today put it all online. Getting a "Application error (Rails)" when trying to submit some form parameters to the db.

I am building a small app that reuires some clever text pattern matching... In my controller, I''ll have a string that I will want to parse out to a datetime and a message, a la Google Calendar Quick Add.

Hi, I'm running Samba 3.6.6 on Ubuntu Quantal. I have a need to manually assign some of the UID mapping on a samba domain member file server. I have used tdbtool to add the correct mapping record to winbindd_idmap.tdb.

So, I have a User has_many :profiles. The most recently dated profile is considered the current one. I need to sort these users by name, but the name attribute is a member of the associated table. Is there any easy way to do this other than with some ugly find_by_sql? Maybe a more general question - is there a common solution to sorting in Ruby? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all - I''d like to implement a lookup table in my app that contains some reference data, just some status codes and their descriptions. What''s the most appropriate approach according to the "rails way" of doing things? Would I just implement a has_many relationship?

For a really long time, I''ve been using DBDesigner from FabForce.net. For those of your who''ve never used it, its a freeware visual entity-relationship diagram tool, which allows you to make database designs visually instead of in SQL DDL. You can then use it to generate the SQL to make your databse design into reality, or even run a "synchronize" to make any
