There was some discussion on this list recently about doing .rcss templates in Rails using a custom template handler. I''ve come up with a very simple way to support rcss without a handler. Turns out all it takes is a route and an action that calls render(:file...). I put a full write-up on my blog earlier today:

We are building a web-based application with Ruby on Rails and MySQL backend. The client now wants us to add various workflow features that will eventually expand into SOAP web services. These workflow features include tasks such as automatically sending reminders for due tasks, or if a particular set of information hasn''t been logged by a certain time to automatically send an email

Hi all -- The simple question is: How do I set different validations for the same Model, when accessed in different Controllers? Here''s the scenario: I have a store/cart app, with a customer-facing shopping cart, and a typical Admin side. The Admin side also has an Order Entry component, where our staff can enter orders received by fax, telephone, etc. Both the customer-facing cart

Hello all, This is an interesting problem I have been working on. What I have is a little multiuser project request tracking application. What happens is that I log in and create projects and assign people to the projects. Each project has steps associated with it, and the steps need to be done in a certain order. Now, I have to request that the assigned person perform each of the steps, and

Could someone kindly send me a copy of the TextMate macros that pertain to Ruby and Rails? I am assuming they are stored in or can be exported to some kind of plain text file... Sadly I am not yet able to make the leap from Linux (and Windows) to a Mac and I am using Slickedit, which has *zero* built in support for Ruby/Rails. I can add macros and code templates so I thought it might be

I am running the webrick server (/script/server) and I would like to be able to view the application from any browser. However, I can only see my application from a browser opened up on the localhost. When I use any other browser it times out. I have already modified the following line in the /script/server file (I''ve tried the numeric ip address also) so that it is the real ip

Seems like act_as_state_machine plugin is not accessible from http://lunchroom.lunchboxsoftware.com/articles/2006/01/21/acts-as-state-machine as this site is down and script/plugin discover is broken as it fails when trying to add plugin repositories giving the message as below; Add http://svn.northpub.com/plugins/?

Anyone think it''d be useful to make a WriteBoard type application that supported ruby, html, etc. and allowed programmers to collaborate on writing scripts or just code in general and track each others changes? Just a thought. - Jim

would it be possible to get another beta gem posted for switchtower? core rails has been getting nice regular updates to the beta gems, but switchtower is still back at 1962.

I''ve been reading about ActiveRecord::Callbacks and they''re really cool. But I have a complex need I''m not sure they answer. Let''s say we have a User model. User has a #status attribute, which can be either "active", "closed" or "blocked". I want to set a callback to perform an action if an "active" User has been

Hi, I''d like to use migrations to build my initial database. Is there a gem or plugin that will generate the migration code for initial db if I point it at a live database or sql file? If yes, then can you automatically generate the incremental migrations as well? Thanks, Jason

I''m new to this list, I''m a student in History, Computerscience and a bit of Philosophy from the Netherlands... I have started using rails a few weeks ago, I did read the Agile Webdevelopment with Rails book, and I generally started to love Rails for it''s sheer beauty and intelligent structure... However I came across something that puzzles me quite a bit. It''s

Hi all, I have a problem with an observer. I have a simple observer... class ActivityObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer observe Customer def after_create(model) bind_params(model) @al.action = "create" @al.save logger "#{model.id} : created" end private def bind_params(model) @al = ActivityLog.new @al.user_id = User.current.id

I''ve used login_engine successfully before with webrick, and now using a provider that uses fcgi. login_engine doesn''t seem to start up, in the development log file, I get only routing errors for the page requested. The login_engine unit tests pass fine. My question is if an engine is not loaded, not in a path, etc, how is this indicated in rails? None of the log files even

Is there any project or solution for an easy integration of a WFE / WfMS into rails? I''m quite new to this topic, but I probably need a small subset of workflow patterns (or whatever the correct term is) only. Any pointers are welcome. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m new to Ruby on Rails and am having a little difficulty working through the ''Rolling with Ruby on Rails'' tutorial. Can anyone help? I''m trying to get the cookbook application to work via a Postgresql db. But get the following error when trying to access http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new Errno::EINVAL in RecipeController#new Invalid argument

For those interested .... rake spec:models seems to clone the test database from development. If your dev db is empty, the models task fails mysteriously. Anyway, to make sure your dev db is at the current migration version, I added this dependency in lib/tasks task ''spec:models'' => ''db:migrate'' Now the dev db is migrated up with each test pass.

Hi, RHEL 4 ships with Ruby 1.8.1. I take it that won''t work with Rails 1.1.2? Thanks, Joe

Hi Daniel,   Thanks for your help.   You mentioned that "the current interpreter makes no pretense of running on a "virtual machine"", but isn't the interpreter itself a virtual machine? I'm not looking to emulate any particular processor - just interested in a tool that will help teach how a processor works.   Can LLVM help, or am I completely off track?   Thanks, M.
