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 have a simple method in a model, to send out e-mails via the script/runner. def Reminder.dropoff @messages = Reminder.find(:all, :conditions => [ "time < now()"]) @messages.each do |mes| Mailman::deliver_send_message(mes) end end However, it''s not sending e-mails. When this exact code was dropped in a controller, it worked great... is there

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. What needs to be done with going from local development to live? I''m not sure if/where I need to set my app to "production" status. Also, is there any way to debug "Application error (Rails)"??

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. Examples: 10/30/2006 7pm message 10-30-96 7:00 pm message 10/30/2006 19:00pm message ... You see what I''m getting at. For a v1.0 release, I CAN publish some standards for

Are there any other tutorial than "Agile Web Development with Rails" that you can suggest? So far I can''t say that RoR has been easy to learn. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I sort of asked this the other day but with no replies. I''m new to rails btw. Question: Is there a preferred way to create migrations ? What I''ve noticed is if I create a model first , it sets up the skelton of the migration. If I create a migration file and then do the model it attempt to create a migration file and not overide the one already in place. It seems to make sense

I recently updated my Rannotate application. The interface has been completely redone and there are lots of new features. The basic idea is to create searchable and user annotatable documentation for the Ruby on Rails API (think php.net). Check it out at - http://rails.outertrack.com * What is Rannotate? Rannotate is a Rails application and RDoc YAML generator that work together to provide

Hi Eric, > I think some people are waiting until the conference to sit down and discuss. At this point it's probably fine to wait. That makes sense. > *shrug* For now I'm ok with just llvm-c with a comment of "these apis are guaranteed to change use at your own risk", or some similar idea. Sounds good. I'll commit something like this over the weekend. I'd like

I''m running on a brand new MacBook Pro with a relatively clean working set. using Mongrel in production mode on port 3000.

How do you run an ad-hoc query that does not belong in any model? I thought it was something like ActiveRecord::connection.find("my query..."), but I can''t seem to find the documentation on it. I know I''ve seen it somewhere before, though. thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m tyring to write a unit test that uses a get() method to simulate a get request in my functional test. However, get wants an action, and I have a URL. I''m trying to redirect to a URL the user tried to hit before logging in. After they login I want to go back to the URL they originally tried. I can''t find the get() method code in the help or otherwise. I

I''m working on a new rails project that will have a very, very large database. Initial insert will be in the hundreds of thousands of records.

Hi All, Belatedly circling back to this, with apologies for not being able to keep up at the time. I expect the ORC C APIs to take at least a couple of release cycles to get ironed out to the point where they could be considered stable. It would be wonderful if it happened more quickly, and maybe we'll get lucky, but I'm not counting on it. :) That said - the best way to get things
