Just out of curiosity, is there a plan to support Comet (name coined by the dojo guys) w/ prototype? Comet represents persisting an http connection for low latency data operations. It also represents a nice alternative to polling. Jim _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

Hi, I am using AJAX so much that I never refresh the entire webpage for the admin side of a webapp. If two people are viewing the same data and one person makes a change then I want the change to show up in the other person''s page. I can have the client poll the server every two seconds to look for changes. I''m not really interested in Comet for keeping a connection open

Hi, I''m new to Ruby on Rails (and Ruby itself). So far, I''ve been able to find answers to most of my questions in the docs or mailing lists. One thing I haven''t been able to find the answer to is how to stop a periodically_call_remote call. My first Rails app is going to be a front-end for our Ant-based build system at work. While the build is running,

When I do periodically_call_remote with e.g. :frequency => 30 after initial page load I have to wait 30 seconds until this partial renders first time. Does anybody know how to make ROR to render partial on web page load, and then start periodic calls every 30 seconds? I tried to put <div id=''mydiv''><%= render(:partial, :action=>''myaction'')

Hi, I''m using Rails 1.1 and the periodically_call_remote() helper to query the server for the progress of a long running action. I''m using the excellent new RJS partials to send a page.replace_html() to update the status information on the page--which works very well. When the action completes I''m also trying to send a redirect_to() by the same approach--which

Hi, I am still new to RoR, so please bear with this newbie question. I would like to have the application in view to press result back to the controller when the periodically_call_remote is called. Right now, this is the code in the view: <div id="get_result"></div> <%= periodically_call_remote(:update => ''get_result'',

Can you do a periodically_call_remote to an action but then not display any new view? say the new action was called ADD. I don''t want to do an rhtml file for add, and I don''t want to render anything in the controller... I want to leave the page as it is. How is this done?

Hi. Can anyone help with this? In a view, I have a text_field_tag( :mytextfield ). I would like to pass the current value of that text_field_tag to a periodically_call_remote - something like periodically_call_remote( :url => { :action => :do_it, :thetextval => :mytextfield.value } ) - Any idea how can I pass and/or access the value of the text_field_tag in my do_it controller?

Following errors are taken from monrgrel running in development mode. It complained routes.rb, no such file or directory and then sometimes i get application.rb, no such file or directory.Doesn''t seem correct to me. Though not so often, but even production servers throw these errors sometimes, and i have no special routes setup or something.Its pretty much default one, except few changes

My application has multiple things on the interface that need to be updated periodically. Some things every second, others not so much. Some of these things are global, meaning they are on the interface at all times, and some of these things are view specific. So what I figured I would do is add the periodically_call_remote function for the global elements and another one for the view

I posted this ealier on the web forums but noticed a similar question about this function and one user responded to try this list instead. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate your suggestions. Q: Is there a way to use periodically_call_remote to run just one time instead of every '':frequency'' seconds? I tried putting the call inside the div container thinking it

Hi, I''m developing a Rails application that displays data from MySQL database table. I have an external python script that adds new rows to the table.

I''ve been developing new application on local machine in rails 1.1.1. Hosting provider (godaddy) is at rails 1.0.0 and not upgrading any time soon I''m told. I set "RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ''1.0.0''" in my environment.rb file to get past inital errors, but now I''m getting the following error:

We are almost there to a final release. The uninstall issues have been fixed, and a few packages have been upgraded to more recent versions. Many thanks to Ryan Leavengood and Shahank Date who stepped in to help finish off this release! *** Only "show-stopper" problems will be fixed *** We are extreme short of manpower at the moment. So as much as I would like to address each and every

To play with RJS I just made a "rake freeze edge". But this copies only the libs into vendor/rails and any attempt of "rake update_javascripts" fails. But all the he required javascripts are there, at: BASEPATH/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/javascripts/ Except of prototype, they seem to have no version number, so I am asking whether I should take those
