parse only seem to understand US date format
I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date
as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy?

european date format
hi, overhere users go nuts if they have to enter the date in iso format,
so i have to make my applications in such a way that not only dates are
displayed in the "dd-mm-yyy" format but also can be entered in that way.
somewhere i found this code to put in the environment script:

String date parsing
Does anyone know if a Ruby package has been written to handle
functionality similar to php''s strtotime(). I''m looking for something
that can parse almost any string (such as "1 day ago", "+1 week",
"last tuesday") into a timestamp.
I''ve played with ParseDate, but it doesn''t seem to do what I need. Any
suggestions?

Using an external database behind a firewall
Hi everyone,
There''s a separate database I''m using to get mail group info for our
users (Sympa), and I''ve got Rails configured to pull data directly
from it via an entry in database.yml
The issue we''re having is that the database server in question is
behind an internal firewall that has idle timeouts set at 30 minutes.

Hello:
We will be setting up MySQL replication for a load balanced environment,
but we have to separate reads and writes.
How can we modify rails to do so? Has anyone done this already?
Thank you in advance!

Telling Apache Not to Send a Sub-Directory to the Cluster

but I haven''t nailed it. I was hoping someone here could help.

Performance suggestions or best practices ideas?
Any suggestions on applications that involve alot of calcualtions on a
fairly large data set?
My app uses a set of raw data ~5k, applies some default/override rules
on the raw data and does some calculations on the data in combination
with a list of assumptions. A ranked list along with detailed metrics
is generated. The end user can manipulate some of the rules and

How to change ActiveRecord date format conversion
I am using custom control for entering a date on the form. My date
format is dd.mm.yyyy and this is also what the control returns to
program. But ActiveRecord expects date to be formated as mm.dd.yyyy and
thus saves wrong value to database.
I have implemented method which corrects date fields prior to save to
database, but it is clumsy. There must be a solution to configure
ActiveRecord so it

[somewhat OT] Apache config for Rails + ColdFusion + PHP
Our group has several web apps developed in ColdFusion, PHP, and Rails. The
ColdFusion and PHP apps are on an older server, and the Rails apps on a new

Our current setup for the Rails server is Apache2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer

@params["aKey"] and multiple aKeys in request
Hi,
I''ve actually run into an interesting problem and no idea how to fix
it. In request parameters i have multiple "url" keys like this:
url=www.abc.com&url=cnn.com&url=....
But @params[:url] has only the latest value for "url" key instead of
having values kept in array.
So what''s next? Is there way out of this issue?
Thanks,

Apache Re-Write and Directories
Howdy,
I am using the ''default'' Apache 2.2 mod_rewrite rules suggested from the Web
site and they are working.
One thing related to static (non cluster directed) resources:
If I have a directory in public called ''static'', if I request it as follows:
http://www.domain.com/static/ - then it works
If I request it as:
http://www.domain.com/static - then it

Separate databases for reads and writes?
Hi all -
New to rails... been reading as much as I can though and have yet to find
a solid answer (although I think I found an unsolid negative).
I''m wondering if there''s a way to split up the reads and writes in Rails
so that pages/actions that don''t need to write can query from a group of
mirrored databases. And my content managers can update a single master.

How do I check the retuned value from check_box_tag?
Hi,
I have this in my form
<%= check_box_tag(@accept, value = "1", checked = false) %>
Which puts a nice checkbox on my form but when I try to retrieve the
value that is returned, which I expect to find in @accept, there is
nothing. How do I check the returned value?
Thanks,
