Hi, I need to implement a mailing list system, Actionmailer is great, but i haven''t found out a way to send many (hundreds of) emails without having to reconnect to the SMTP server for each mail when calling Mymailer::deliver_my_mail(recipient) Any tips?

Greetings all. I have some controller code that uses win32ole (only available on windows). This code is now solid, and I''d now like to resume development on (any) other OS(grin).

Hello - I''m grappling with some tricky URL rewriting with Apache 2 and mod_rewrite, and could use a hand. Briefly: URL for application is: www.servername.com/path/to/app/ There is no Alias directive; the application is in the directory /www/content/path/to/app/ on the server file system. The FastCGI dispatcher (dispatch.fcgi) lives at: /www/fcgi-bin/path/to/app/dispatch.fcgi Inside

Hey there, I know this isn''t a pdf::writer list - If there''s a more appropriate place for me to ask these questions I''d appreciate being set straight. I''m having a couple of misunderstandings/isssues first with page numbers and secondly with auto-wrapping of simple_table. First pdf.start_page_numbering(pdf.margin_x_middle, pdf.absolute_bottom_margin, 9,

Hi, This seems simple but I cant get it to work... I have a table with 4 or 5 columns and 20-30 rows. I''d like to have the ability to click anywhere in a particular row to fire an action, such as bringing up a "Details" page for the clicked row. This would eliminate the need to generate a "Details" link at the end of every row, which is what I have now and looks

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 it my imagination or has there been a huge increase in the number of fragmented threads in the last several days? Maybe it''s Gmail doing something crazy, but I see dozens of top-level conversations starting with replies (ex. "Re: [Rails] omfg something broke"). Did people collectively forget what the "reply" button looks like, or is the list software doing

What techniques and tools do you use to manage your feature backlogs? It could be as low tech as a post-it note, TODO file in your Rails project tree, or as high tech as a web-based collaborative tool. Thanks, Mark

Using the forthcoming UTC timestamped migrations and this plugin, you can separate migrations by table or feature. Doing so should alleviate many of the problems that seem to pike up
