Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

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

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.

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'' ? '''' :

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 have been heck of a time to get mysql and fastcgi to work properly on my Mac OS X box. I keep getting the following error: Can''t connect to local MySQL server through socket ''/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock'' (13) I have even tried commenting out the "socket" option in my database.yml but it still gives me the same error. I''m ok when I

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'':

Greetings, I am trying to add a row to a table using the blind down effect. I have this working for lists (aka <li>) but not tables. With tables it seems to display the newly inserted row then blind. I basically want to start with the row hidden and then blind down. For example this works with lists: <ol style="" id="list1"> <li

Is there away to have parts of a migration file only work with a specific database. For example I am inserting some data into a table with: execute "INSERT INTO demo_lists(position, name, updated_at, created_at) VALUES (1, 1, ''scott'', CURDATE(), CURDATE());" Of course the curdate() function may only be available on mysql. So can we some how determine which

Hi, I''m trying to get a subdomain to map to a controller. For example: blog.domain.com to point to /list so in my virtual host I tried: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.localhost$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 but it just goes to the root of my rails app. any ideas? scott.

Hi, I''m using the new acts_as_taggable on Rails 1.1.1. I would like to get a list of all the tags for a particular model type, in my case "Post". I got it to work with: Tag.find(:all,:include => :taggings, :conditions => "taggable_type=''Chunk''") But I''m wondering if there''s a more Rubyish elegant way. thanks, scott.

A couple of quick acts_as_taggable (the Rails 1.1 plugin version) 1. Can you update tags on an existing record? If I execute the tag_with statement twice it creates two rows in the taggings column, instead of updating the value of the existing tag 2. Can you delete tags? I didn''t see a method for this. If I can delete tags, problem #1 goes away. scott.

Hi, What would my method call in an rjs template to produce something like: new Effect.BlindDown($(''commentList'').lastChild); I know if I just wanted to the blind effect I would: page.visual_effect :blind_down, "row_#{@new_item.id}" but how would I call it if I want the ".lastChild instead of passing a particular id? thanks, scott.

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

Hello everyone! I want to have login field in User model which is set only once (on create), and then it should fail validation if the value is changed. How can I do this? I dig around for validation and tried def after_validation_on_update unless User.find_by_login(:login) errors.add(:login, "is immutable. You can''t change it") end end in model, but somewhat it

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

I''m no friend of paging, but I have to somehow deal with lists of potentially large numbers of objects. The Rico LiveGrid[*] at first blush seems attractive, but has some major drawbacks. It doesn''t work with Safari/Konqueror, not yet anyway. It can only handle fixed-size tables and requires that widths, including column widths, are hand-crafted. I''m looking for a

Hi, I was very excited to hear that Rails 1.1 project has been released. It gave me the fire I need to get started on a pet project I''ve been thinking about. However I have a couple apps that don''t seem to play nice with Rails 1.1, mainly Typo. So my question is: How can I install Rails 1.1 for only a new application? thanks, scott.
