similar to: simple-rss caching

I am a new learner of Ruby on Rails. I followed through the railstutorial.org tutorial and I''m trying to learn off the sample demo app where you can to make microposts and only the people who are "following" you can see them. If I wanted to make it so every user can see microposts as an additional functionality, what are the steps to do that? -- Posted via

Hi, I need to parse the rss feed and use the pubDate field to generate a field in a xml file to use as an input to simile timeline. RSS returns the pubDate as : Sun Feb 24 06:33:32 UTC 2008 But I need it as a string : "Feb 24 2008 06:33:32 PST" When I do : ... @dt=feed_item.time @dt=@dt.to_date word_date=''%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z'' puts @dt.strftime(word_date) ...

I use feedtools to generate the feeds and read them,and now they can not work well: This is the code for feed generating: class FeedsController < ApplicationController def userrss @user = User.find_by_id(params[:id]) @articles = @user.articles(:all,:order => ''updated_at desc'') @headers["Content-Type"] = "application/xml; charset=utf-8"

I have met a problem on Feedtools and felt very confused about it: The feed that I generated using feedtools can not be read correctedly by feedtools,while rss from other websites can be read. Still,the code for rss generating: def userrss @user = User.find_by_id(params[:id]) @articles = @user.articles(:all,:order => ''updated_at desc'',:limit => 15)

Hello, Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when a table from database changes? I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action exactly when the change is made. Best regards, -- Kuba Nowak

Hi all, please pardon my question if it seems silly.. I''m trying pretty hard to learn though. :) I have 2 tables: feeds (has_many feed_items) feed_items (belongs_to feed) Let''s say Feeds has 3 feed.names: "Things that Start with A", "Things that start with B", "Things that start with C". I want to print out, on one page, something like the

Hello all, My Rails app is logging some rather strange requests: Processing StoreController#index (for ::1 at 2006-07-03 13:18:48) [GET] Session ID: ed5e2a0e5b4b9290835a969cdd749e6e Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"store"} Completed in 0.08174 (12 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.07951 (97%) | DB: 0.00000 (0%) | 200 OK [http://127.0.0.1/]

Hi! Yesterday I started to write my unit tests for the fist time using rails. I''m using this method: http://blog.codahale.com/2005/12/23/a-rails-howto-simplify-your-unit-tests/ My customer_test.rb looks like this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class CustomerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :customers # Replace this with your real

Hi I just setup a server (Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer, mongrel_cluster) with 2 Rails applications according to this excellent Post: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you Everythings works great, but after a long inactive period (say one night), the first 3 connections allways get an Error 500 Excerpt from production.log: ...

I''m newbie to mongrel, I''m not able to config mongrel_cluster in order to host multiple web sites added/remove as apache VirtualHost. I followed codahale http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ mixed with Wiki Radiant (I use Radiant as a rails apps to be deployed, 1 domain 1 radiant sites with its own document tree

Greetings, I''m writing an integration test and would like to make sure that, with the correct credentials, I get the proper response. The problem is I don''t know how to use the ''get'' method to attach the username and password to the request. For example, when using RSpec''s Story tests.. When("I request the user information for that

I''m using the instructions from http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/to configure mongrel_cluster with apache mod_proxy_balancer. Everything works fine, except when I try to link to a pdf file to be opened in a new window, it displays the contents of the pdf as text instead of opening it as a pdf document through Acrobat.

Hi all, I''ve been having problems with the apache 2.2-mod_proxy_balancer- mongrel setup. My setup is: CentOS 4.3 apache 2.2.3 (compiled from source) with mod_proxy_balancer mysql 4.1 ruby 1.8.4 mongrel 0.3.14 (I know I need to update but I think this problem is independent of the mongrel version) mongrel_cluster 0.2.0 rails_machine 0.1.1 I have apache setup as per Coda''s

Hi Is there any way to temporarily stop the updated_at field from being updated when a record is modified with ActiveRecord? I have a date field which is keeping track of when the record data was last checked by my application and my app manually updates it, of course when I do this the updated_at field is also touched making it fairly useless for finding out when the actual data was changed

I''m using the mongrel_cluster recipes for Capistrano as laid out by codahale.com and the new ed. of the Agile Development book, but I''m having problems on restart and stop: I can start: [root current]# mongrel_rails cluster::start Starting 3 Mongrel servers... And I can see 3 processes running: [root current]# ps aux | grep mongrel mongrel 1947 0.0 8.2 24684 10776 ?

Hi Folks, I''ve been getting reports of people with serious stability problems in Mongrel. These problems go away instantly when they remove ruby-sendfile. If your mongrel starts up saying that you have "sendfile installed" and that it is using it then **you are wrong**. Remove the gem and don''t use it. I''ll be investigating why it doesn''t really

I am followint this article, http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ ...but I keep getting this error in the log...not sure what to try next... ** Daemonized, any open files are closed. Look at log/mongrel.8000.pid and log/mongrel.log for info. ** Starting Mongrel listening at 127.0.0.1:8000

Hi ! I''m no expect when it comes time to configure Apache. I just enabled page caching in my Rails app, and am now looking at making Apache serve the cached files instead of calling into Rails. I know Mongrel is able to serve cached files if it finds them, but I''d like Apache to do it. Looking at .htaccess, there is this section: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html

Does anyone have a good example or know of some documentation about how to implement "Edit in Place" using Rails 1.1? Like the functionality in Flickr... I''ve googled and googled and can''t find any good documentation. Maybe it''s because 1.1 is so new? Thanks in advance. -Andy

Hey all, Here''s a question for everyone: how do you keep your mocks and stubs consistent with your real objects? I''m dipping my toes into the RSpec world, and it''s absolutely delightful (running dozens of tests in less than a second is nice as well), but I''m concerned about my ability to keep the mocks in my specs consistent with the behavior of their
