I''m trying to install rails on it, using the instructions in the rails wiki: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallOnOSXTigerUsingDarwinPorts I go to install mysql, and the version of mysql supported by DarwinPorts appears to be 4.1.18. But all the sites appear to only have 4.1.19 or 4.1.20. So it looks like DarwinPorts is over a month out

Hi, I haven''t done any associations before, so please forgive my incorrect use of terminology... If I set up a has_many :through association, can I manipulate the associated instances directly (like an Array), or do I need to manipulate the join model? For example, suppose I have two classes and the associated join model: class foo has_many :foo_bars has_many :bars, :through

I am confused about the @content_for_layout.''cause it will display all the views in the layout.Do I have any methods to let the layout be more OO? I mean that for example,the app currently have more than one views to be displayed,but only some of them to be displayed at the same time at different <div></div> units. I hope there exists a kind of way that: <%= if

Hi, I''m relatively new to ruby and rails. I would like to have a sidebar component call one of several other constituent components. I''ve run into some problems, and so I''ve pruned things back to a relatively simple case. I have a sidebar component. Renders great. In it''s layout, I call render_component for another component I would like in the sidebar.

Quick question: I am going to use the file_column plugin to manage uploading thumbnails. By default the images are stored in the public/ dir of the rails project. The problem I see is that when capistrano redeploys a new build and symlinks it in none of the images will be in the new public/ dir... Does anyone have a solution for this?

I posted this to the rails list before by mistake, and only later realized that there is a specific mongrel list. Uff, I got lost. I had mongrel_cluster 0.1working fine, even with capistrano (my own hack). Then came mongrel_cluster 0.1.1 and I tried to set it up, but somehow I messed up things and nothing worked anymore. So here is what I did: on production machine: (debian linux, rails 1.1)

Restricting size of an uploaded file, is how is that possible? If I do not want a user to upload a file larger than X bytes, can it easily be done? If I also would like restrict the types of files that can be uploaded, how may I do so? Thank you, Sharkie

I have an AccountsController that inherits from ApplicationController. In ApplicationController I define a generic layout. In this layout I render @title that is actually assigned in the AccountsController but has a default value in ApplicationController. In the layout template, I also have the standard contents_for_layout and lastly, I have a render_component. The component called from the

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

I find myself doing the following quite a lot: <% if user %><%= user.name %><% else %>Anonymous<% end %> I know that if I dont care about an else I can just do: <%= user.name if user %> Is there any simpler way to handle the else? This is a simple example so it''s not really an issue.. but for more complicated tests this gets quite tedious. -- Posted

I''ve been fighting with a Double Render Error. I have some sidebar partials that I render to strings in my application controller''s before_filter: @left_sidebar_for_layout = render_to_string(:partial => ''shared/left_sidebar'') Then in my application layout, I simply add them as a string, like I would @content_for_layout This normally works fine. However,

Hi all, I''m trying to do multiple render_to_string() calls in a method call, and I''m getting attributes being modified in unexpected ways. @left_sidebar = render_to_string( :partial ..... ) puts @left_sidebar.id (-> 123456) @right_sidebar = render_to_string( :partial .....) puts @left_sidebar.id (-> 234567 WTF!?!?!) puts @right_sidebar.id (-> 345678)

Hi all, I''ve got a Post and User classes. The Post has a user_id attribute to point to the user that created it. I want to implement favorites, so I made Post and User both "has_and_belongs_to_many" and created a favorites join table. The join table has a post_id and a user_id column. Now when I get my post everything seems to be okay, but in some contexts, the user_id

Hi, I want to have a page in my Ruby on Rails application that is like a dynamic / updateable data grid. Like a matrix or spreadsheet segment (x rows, y columns) which one can click in any of the cells and make an update, which triggers some AJAX code to fire off the update, and then the responses come back and update whatever else needs updating based on this change. Is there a prototype
