similar to: html to pdf?

I am wondering if anyone has any procedural documentation for installing and using Rails from the standalone packages rather then via ''gem install''. It seems there should be some steps outside of simply unpacking the tar ball in order to integate it with your Ruby installation. Seems every bit of installation documentation I can find has ''gem install

hi, everyone, i have googled around for some pdf generators. Found 1) PDF::Writer which is a little dated 2) Rupdf (http://scoop.simplyexcited.co.uk//2007/12/15/rupdf-simple- ruby-pdf-rails-plugin/ and http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/rupdf) - it''s a little dated.

Hey gang, How does STI work with HABTM? For instance...let''s say I have the following models ----- Category < ActiveRecord::Base Item < ActiveRecord::Base Product < Item Deal < Item ----- Each product or deal can have categories.

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/...

I haven''t cracked the source of file_column just yet - but has anyone worked out a way to snag images via URL instead of a file upload? Optimally I''d like to have my clients be able to upload a file, or enter in a URL to store as file on the system. Any/all help would be cool. -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

I''m pinging the list to see if anyone is working on an open-source e-commerce engine based on Rails yet - something like OSCommerice I guess. Anyone? Is there interest out there for such a thing? I have such a product which has been extracted from real world code. It currently runs 3 production rails sites in various shapes and forms, implemented as a rails engine. Basic feature list: -

Hello world, I''m having some problems setting up a new Debian deployment box...just installed the rails stack, mongrel, etc... When I go to start mongrel I''m getting a weird error I can''t figure out. Some help please? -> mongrel_rails start ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000

They both run Debian... I recently moved one of my older Rails apps on a FreeBSD 5.5 box to mongrel as well. Everything runs quickly and wonderfully - when it''s running! My problem
