Hello Everyone ~ Recently I have been moving Rails files between Mac, Linux, and Windows. As many know the Windows Ruby version 1.8.4 doesn''t like tab characters. I know in TextMate on the mac you can replace your tabs with spaces from the Text > Convert menu, but is there a way to set it to do tabs with spaces instead as you work? The preferences do not seem to have such a

Hello ~ I have an email that I need to attach a PDF to. The email is being sent, and a file is attached but it is not the original file. I am following the example: attachment :content_type => "image/jpeg", :body => File.read("an-image.jpg") changing it to: attachment :content_type => "application/pdf", :body => File.read("pdf/my.pdf")

Hello ~ I have a working ActionMailer Action that takes the template to use as an argument so I have one action that handles multiple emails. The email sends just fine, and the correct email templates are used, but ActionMailer is throwing in its own text/plain section in addition to the one I specify. Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be occuring, when I am specificially specifying

Hello ~ I have posted a tutorial on my blog, http://www.benr75.com/pages/lighttpd_awstats_tutorial, on how to get AWStats and Lighttpd to work together.

Hi, I''m new to Ruby, Rails and MySQL... Before Dropping my database, I went back to a previous Grant problem. On page 54, there are three create database commands...these all worked fine for me. I then tried the following Grant command: Grant all on depot_development.* to ''dave''@''localhost''; I got back the following error message: Error 1133 (42000):

Hello Everyone ~ Last week I started having a dispatch.fcgi process go out of control on my Linux server. If I don''t catch it the process will eat my RAM, and devour my swap file until the machine becomes non-responsive. I am running Lighttpd and have not had any issues until lately. The logs are not telling me anything useful, and as a quick fix I am running the site using Mongrel,

Hello ~ Today running emerge -u world on my Gentoo box upgraded MySQL to 5.0.24, and immediately my rails apps stopped working. I have posted a solution on my blog for getting things back up and running: http://benr75.com/pages/ruby_on_rails_gentoo_mysql-5.0.24_commands_out_of_sync I also was fortunate enough to have upgraded to version 1.1.5 right about the same time, so at first I thought

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

I''ve been banging my head against the following for about 8 hours now, and have exhausted my web research options: /usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi:21:in `require'': no such file to load -- /usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/../config/environment (LoadError) from /usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi:21

Right now I have partials in a view folder corresponding with my controller. ie: controller: example, view: example/_partial.rhtml and I call it with render :partial => ''partial'' How do I add the partial to another folder and call it? ie: controller: example, view: example/new_folder/_partial.rhtml render :partial => ''new_folder/partial'' # does NOT work

I have an app that uploads files into the directory RAILS_ROOT/documents/ I tried to access the file for downloading using <a href="#{RAILS_ROOT}/documents/file_name">my file</a>. Rails prepends the controller name to the link so I get <a href=" http://localhost:3000/tasks/show_document/config/.../documents/file_name" What''s the right way to do this?

Folks, I have a rhtml page (page A) that links to another page (page B), and I want to pass some parameters from page A to page B.

Is anybody working already in a gallery2/rails integration? I need to use it as part of my project, so, before start from scratch with it I''d like to know if already is something out there. Thanks.

Hi, Going through the archive, and just keeping a general watch on this list seems to indicate that there are some issues using scheduling with backgroundrb. I need a worker that will perform some actions on an hourly interval. These actions will require access to several of the models in my application. I am currently using backgroundrb to handle processing of files, where I spawn a worker to

Hey I just ran this "ruby script/generate login loging_in" here is my SQL: CREATE TABLE `users` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `user_name` varchar(80) default NULL, `login` varchar(120) NOT NULL default '''', `last_update` timestamp NOT NULL default ''0000-00-00 00:00:00'', `last_attack` timestamp NOT NULL default ''0000-00-00

I''m having an odd problem. I''m trying to create an RSS feed (working off the Recipe), but "xml.link" generates error about "Can''t convert Hash to String". From the error trace, it *looks* like it''s calling the a fileutil ''link'' method (as in, filesystem symbolic link) - even xml.tag! generates this error. Er, how do I make

Caveat: this is not a discussion about *hosting* a rails app on windows. Anyway...Macs are everywhere you look when researching rails (demo vids, tutorials, and pictures from rails training classes). I''m interested in what the pros to using a Mac for rails development are (besides textmate). Is it more of a cultural thing, a what would 37 signals do thing, is it a unix thing, or
