For those that missed out joining the amazing turnout of ~70 people here in Vancouver for the mini-workshop I did on the 27th last month, I am making available the 30 slides I used for the presentation. The slides were used in conjunction with me demonstrating it via command line. Alot was learned by both attendees, and quite possibly even more so by myself while teaching the material. I created

I have three models in this small game I''m working on - the Game, Players, and Turns. A Player should be able to rescue another Player on any given turn. So it looks like this: class Game has_many :players has_many :turns def rescue_player(p) t = turns.last t.rescued = p t.save end end class Turn belongs_to :rescued, :foreign_key =>

Hi all, I''m trying to pass more than one parameters using link_to_remote, but I''m getting a behaviour that seems quite strange to me. Here''s the code: link_to_remote ''some text'', :update => ''form'', :method => ''get'', :url => { :action =>

Is there a way to tweak rails 1.0 or 1.1-rc1 to use less RAM? I''m using a VPS (Linux UML) with < 160 MB RAM and would like to explore ways to make rails run more efficiently under such constraints.

ONLamp.com has finally published part 2 of my Rails article! You can find it here: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/03/03/rails.html It would be really nice if we could get this slash dotted again before the weekend. >From what I understand, you''re more likely to get accepted when multiple people submit something.

Cross-Site scripting (XSS) attacks have been appearing lately, so I wrote up an article about one way to protect yourself. It''s pretty easy to use and, for those who care, I go into some of metaprogramming techniques I used to create it. Check it out at http://blog.explorationage.com/articles/2006/01/25/how-to-protect-your-rails-apps-against-cross-site-scripting-attacks Justin p.s. My

I''m trying to do the tutorial at http://www.infoq.com/articles/BackgrounDRb. A little more than half-way through it says "Upon instalation, the plugin writes a config file into RAILS_ROOT/config/backgroundrb.yml." It didn''t happen for me. I installed the plugin with: ruby script\plugin install svn:\\rubyforge.org//var/svn/backgroundrb It added a bunch of files,

We''re working on a new series of applications called "RealApps" - simple plugins and components add functionality to Rails applications. We just posted an article describing the first one - a content management system. We also go into the business case behind the design we chose. Good stuff for programmers to know - especially if you are doing paid client work. It

I am trying to teach my models how to render themselves, i.e. <%= my_model_object.render() %> Let me explain my reasoning and proposed method before this gets shot down as anti-MVC. Let''s say I am writing a contact-management application. I have a class Contact. I will need to display this class all over the application. My first choice is to use a partial. Now I can

Announcing version 0.0.4 of Net::LDAP, the pure-Ruby LDAP library. Thanks to the many people who have used this library and sent in comments, suggestions, feature requests, and patches. An even bigger thank-you to the folks who have made themselves available to help with testing. Net::LDAP has been quite stable for several months now, so we bumped the development status of the library up to

I was reading here and there about the differences between Merb and Rails [1] and became curious about statements such as this: > It is threadsafe with configurable Mutex Locks (Routing is also > threadsafe) Having mucked with the routes system, I had this awful feeling that I don''t understand threading well enough to know if my contribution is "thread safe".

I''ve just started creating a web application with approx. 100 tables. Possibly more. Oracle is the DB. There exists a legacy schema I that i will use some of. So far i have created a small bit of the app, approx 10 tables. Im using webrick on my local machine. The Oracle DB is on its own server. My boss has noticed that its not really that zippy, there is a small delay between

Has anyone successfully gotten the scoped_access[1] plugin to work in Rails 1.1? Some of the methods it was relying on are now no longer accessible. It seems the only way to add scope is to use the ''with_scope'' method that takes a block, but since Rails doesn''t have real around filters[2] I cannot see a way of adding a scope using a filter.
