I have a model with a datetime field called start_date. I''d like to do a find on the model so that it returns only records with the start_date equal to the current day. Something like this: @foos = Foo.find(:all, :conditions => //?? start_date equal to today''s date ??// ] ) Thanks in advance for any help. -------------- next part

As I, like many people, are coming to ruby in the rails era, I''m curious about how Ruby Web Dev was done prior to rails. Any veterans want to share their insights? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hey...I''m trying to search a Model that uses acts_as_taggable for multiple tags. I''d like to pass in a search string containing a space delimited tags names (i.e. "tag1 tag2") and return the objects that have been tagged by either one of those.

So I''ve heard the 37 signals guys mostly work from home - but when you''re in the office, do you guys listen to music? If so - what kind of stuff do you play? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I inherited a PC that I''m turning into a *NIX web server for in house development. Its primary purpose would be for staging, before apps were released to a shared-hosting environment. I''m probably going to setup Apache 1.3/FastCGI to match where the site is currently hosted. I develop in Windows, but I really want to get more familiar with the command-line linux environment.

I remember reading something awhile back about an easy way to work with object arrays in views. Say I want to arrange 20 images objects in rows of 3. I have a collection of @users, where each user has a user.thumbnail_url image. Is there some way to split these up so that they can be easily parsed in rows of three? Thanks, Nathan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

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

I might be buying a Mac tomorrow. I checked out the new 13.3in MacBook at the new Apple Store on 5th ave in NYC. I''m torn between the smaller MacBook and the MacBook Pro. We have a pro at work and I''m not that thrilled with the way it feels. I like the keyboard much better on the 13inch. However, I think doing development on that small of a screen could get frustrating. Any

Is there a plugin or built in function for converting a date interval into the English equivalent? For example, "So and so posted this 45 minutes ago". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

ANNOUNCING AGILE WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH RAILS, SECOND EDITION =========================================================== http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails2/ Rails has changed a lot since we announced the first edition of the book a year ago. DHH says that the 1.1 release "boasts more than 500 fixes, tweaks, and features from more than 100 contributors." Who are we to

I''ve been experimenting with Rails over the past couple of days and have come across something that seems harder than it should be. In previous frameworks I have used (WebObjects, php) a full search page (which leads into a list view populated with search results) was part of the CRUD that was either dynamically or statically created after specifying table/object schema. In

Either - Ruby on Rails: Up and Running or Rails Cookbook I''ve heard so many negative things about Safari pdf''s and the whole program I''d like to get some feedback. I have AWDWR(2nd edition), RubyforRails(Manning), Programming Ruby(2nd edition), so I''m not even sure I actually need another book but maybe the approach or content is somewhat uniuqe. TIA Stuart

Subject says it all. Anybody taken a look yet? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/railsckbk/?CMP=ILC-GG7423313304&ATT=railsckbk After buying the Ruby Cookbook and the other Rails book, I''m pretty gunshy about another Rough Cuts purchase. Sean

Just signed up for hosting with Site5. So far the service has been great, but one question I had couldn''t be answered by the tech support. I need to change the default root directory of my site from public_html to a rails directory (i.e. foo/app/public). The tech support suggested mod_rewrite. Any other suggestions on ways to accomplish this? Thanks, Nathan -------------- next

I have a signup form that needs to do these three things: 1) create a new "Group" 2) create a new "User" 3) Add that User to the Group I have the scaffolding for the create new user form: <% form_for :user do |form| %> <p> <label for="user_name">First Name:</label> <%= form.text_field

Hi all, Not sure if Im doing this the right way (most likely not as I cant make it work!) I have an application that needs to put some content from two different tables(db) on every page within the application. What I thought I could do is write a small application helper that talks to the model and asks for the data. But I cant for the life of me work out how to actually talk to a model from

Not sure if this is old news or not, but it would appear that both the Ruby Cookbook and a Rails book are now available for purchase at O''Reilly Rough Cuts (something akin to PragProg''s beta book program): http://rubyurl.com/nHz http://my.safaribooksonline.com/?mode=roughcuts&srchtext=ROUGHCUTS I haven''t tried them yet, but it definitely seems worth checking out.
