In a servlet J2EE application, there is an init style method that gets called after that servlet is loaded. Is there something similar within a rails controller context. I am looking for something where I can load and setup a particular object. Also, what about with sessions as well.

Just wondering how to best integrate with pagination and still stick to MVC... Say I have a Post model that has a published attribute. I want to show all the recent published posts on a page. My first instinct is to create a method in the Post model called recent that does the find with proper conditions and order, but the problem I have is how do I use that with pagination (which definitely

I''m working on a small project with a friend, and one of the things we needed to do was send off an email whenever someone signs up an account. His implementation was pretty simple - throw a deliver_welcome call inside the controller after the signup. I''m sure that this is a pretty common thing to do. The problem, in my mind, was that the app now became tied to two places -

This is another simple rails application. I am just putting them out there; doesn''t really add to any of the other depot applications out there, just another.

When I am using my rails models in my worker class, it appears the background worker class is always using development no matter what I do. I set background.yml to production. I even have ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production uncommented in environment.rb. I don''t have the development db even created on my production box, so not sure where it is getting development

I want to update my application which was generated with rails 1.0.0 to the new version. My question. I have already updated the ruby gems library and things seem to work. Do I really need to update the actual code. Can I update the code? For example, I noticed that prototype is a lot newer version. I would like to update that. -- Berlin Brown (ramaza3 on freenode)

I have a library that is basically used on the command-line. I am trying to fit it in for my rails application. So far it works, but I was worried about how rails does caching or anything else. Basically, is this an ok approach. So far, I put the library in RAILS_APP/lib/bot.rb And ''bot.rb'' contains a class ''VM''. I have a controller: BotController..

I am working with ruby(activerecord) and want to save a ''hash'' of URLs such that a key is the URL and the value points to a count of how many times it occurs after processing a csv file my question; all I know of is right now is to attempt to save, get a unique error and then when handling the exception increment the hash value (really a column in a table) Is this bad? Or

with this post; with a query with multiple tables, I am trying to return results that are null in one table; I am trying to do something like this; class NumbersFeedLink < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :numbers_sent_feed_link end class NumbersSentFeedLink < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :numbers_feed_link end sent = NumbersFeedLink.find(:all, :order => [

Well, I wanted to mention my early rails application(in the event I stop working on it). At present it is a link blog, you post a link and now we have a listing of links from different users. Ideally, it has been a week or two. On rails in general, it is really nice, you want to add an action or update a model, you just do it as opposed to wrapping something in 10 layers of XML. The

Hi. I''m using RoR 1.0 with FastCGI and lighttpd on a Debian 3.1 box. I have configured lighttpd to do adaptive spawning of the FastCGI processes. However, after shutting down lighttpd the FastCGI processes remain running. Did this problem occur to anyone of you? Is there a fix? I''d be really grateful for every answer.

Hi All, Has anyone implemented a credit card processing / merchant account system using Rails? I know that there is a ''payment'' gem that is supposed to integrate with the Authorize.net gateway, but I''m wondering if that is the best (and only) solution out there. Are there any other recommended solutions from Rails programmers out there? Thanks in advance for the
