I''m pretty much done with a project I''ve been developing to learn Rails, http://www.happycarpools.com . If you could take a look, that''d be awesome! Feedback would be even more awesome! Probably the coolest thing about making this has been seeing how Rails does *so much* and hardly has any superfluous parts, if any. There are so many features that I initially

Hi everyone, I''m having trouble actually running mysql queries. I can connect to the database, I think, but when a query gets run the following shows up in my log: SQL (0.000000) Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SHOW TABLES Any suggestions? Thanks! Daniel Higginbotham

Hi everyone, Is there a time select helper which uses a 12 hour clock rather than a 24 hour one? Also, does anyone know if :discard_year actually works in datetime_select now, or how I could find this out? Thanks! Daniel

Hi everyone, It seems like every time I want to evaluate a possibly undefined variable I have to use defined? to see that it exists first, so I can''t simply have -- if params[:range_start] > 3 or something like it. I need to have -- if defined? params[:range_start] && params[:range_start] > 3 I can''t even have -- if params[:range_start].nil? This is really

Howdy - Someone''s probably already reported this, but anyhow, going here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RailsOnFedora results in: ==================== > Bad Gateway > The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. > ==================== Yours, Tom

Hiall, I want to give the action of a form an additional parameters but can''t figure out how to do it. My code looks like this <%= start_form_tag :action => ''create'', next_step => true %> <%= render :partial => ''user_form'' %> <%= render :partial => ''community_form'' %> <%= submit_tag

if I call a helper method from inside a partial, it doesn''t appear to have access to the partials local variables. is there a way to make them avilable without passing them as parameters? here''s a simple example # in the view <%= render :partial => "my_partial", :locals => :value => 2%> # _my_partial.rhtml - raises "undefined local variable or

I want to make use of a form_remote_tag to submit a form asynchronously. Easy done. However, we also want to add an observe_form tag to check for some value changes while the form is being entered. The observe_form tag needs a dom id to work on but I can''t see how to enter an html option for the dom id of the form on the form_remote_tag. Any ideas? Here is the form tag so far...

Not sure if I want to build my own or use something already built that''s out there. This is the first step in my project though and a major one, so some of my requirements would be: 1-The ability for a user to register themselves 2-Email / link activation 3-Access levels (or ACL control - I think they are basically the same). 4-The ability to track users either through session or cookies

Hello Folks, This release of Mongrel should make the win32 folks go crazy. Thanks to Luis Lavena it supports a full service system for installing any Rails app as a service. This lets you start your rails apps from either the command line or the Service console. Stopping is still a bit problematic but we hope to have that solved in the next release. You win32 folks should probably send Luis

I am saving an array of active record objects (college courses) in the session as session[:course_list]. This is the cart for a registration controller. If a student chooses to delete the course from the list I get the :id as params[:id]. However if I do session[:course_list].delete_if {|x| x.id ==params[:id]} does not work. session[:course_list].delete_at(idx) works. Ocourse to do this I have

I''m trying to get link_to_remote to assign a CSS class to the link it generates. My code is as follows: <%= link_to_remote "Show Full Info", :update => "fullcontact" + reparray.last.to_s, :url => "/cm/full_contact/" + reparray.last.to_s, :classname => "contactlink" %> Which produces this HTML: <a href="#"

I have dealt with machines that have multiple network cards in them before, but never when they were on the same subnet so this issue has never come up before. My problem is that I can only access one IP address at a time. I started out using dhcp and found that if I went through the dhcp song-and-dance then that address became active and the other one was disabled, and vice versa. On our local

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

I set up dovecot on two servers with replication enabled. The replication is over a vpn connection. I get massive segfaults from doveadm-server every few minutes. dmesg: doveadm-server[30030]: segfault at 0 ip 0000557fa16d2e62 sp 00007ffdcaafec50 error 4 in doveadm-server[557fa16a3000+41000] [486397.225636] Code: 40 03 4c 8d 3c c3 48 8d 44 24 18 48 89 44 24 08 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 49 8b bc 24

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

hello, is the instiki project still being developed? it seems the web site is down for a couple of weeks now, and almost no activity is going on on the developer mailing list. on a related note, are you aware of other actively developed rails-based wikis? many thanks in advance.

I am trying to do a tutorial improvement on the wiki but I am having some problems with the auto formatting. Using httdp.conf produces http://httpd.conf when filtered. Using *.so produces .so and bold text there after. Is there any shorthand for the user for making text appear as it should without the linking and re-writes? Or does the admin have to change the filters in Instiki? Tesla

Hi all, Following the recent release of Instiki-AR beta, I haven''t had a lot of bug reports or other feedback. This could mean one of the two things. Either nobody is using it, or some people are, and have no problems at all. One thing for sure is that it''s certainly getting downloaded (20 times a day, as it were)! I''d like to know which way is it. So, if you are
