In our app we''ve a number of singleton ruby classes that cache static data in hashes, things like string values, system config params, etc). In a webbrick environment this works ok, but we find in production we have a problem because we have 4 caches, one for each mongrel instance.

I''ve written a simple Rails migration that adds an index to an existing Postgres table: class AddIndexToEvents < ActiveRecord::Migration > def change > add_index :sf_events, :account_id > end > end However, when I run the migration, it fails due to a syntax error on the CREATE INDEX line. I''m expecting some SQL like this to be generated: CREATE INDEX

It seems to me that I should do this in the model code and that I should override the new and/or create methods. Is this the right approach and, if so, how can I execute the existing method but add on my calculation? I want something like: def create -Do the original create first- field =

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I just spent a few hours tracking down a bug in Rails 1.1, so I thought I''d post the issue and a workaround just in case anyone else hits it. I designed a security enhancement so that controller methods can be protected by preceding them with a role. The standard Ruby method_added() callback is used to detect when controller methods are added, and then I manipulate the

Filter chaining appears to behave in differently than Rails 1.2.x. It seems that I''m getting a lot of errors along the lines of: ActionController::ActionControllerError: filter #<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::BeforeFilterProxy:0x322f468 @filter=#<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::SymbolFilter: 0x322f4b8 @filter=:login_required>> was in the wrong place!

Hi, I''m wondering if there is a simple solution to call a method once per page request. I tried to place my call in a before_filter in ApplicationController but it''d called a second time if I use render_component from a view.
