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?

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.

I''ve used login_engine successfully before with webrick, and now using a provider that uses fcgi. login_engine doesn''t seem to start up, in the development log file, I get only routing errors for the page requested. 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

I just put a new plugin named branchable_migrations on Github. Branchable migrations lets you separate your migrations into "branches" (i.e., a director under db/migrate) that each have their own version. 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

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.
