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 was wondering if there are any IDEs out there that has autocomplete features for win32.

Greetings, Does anyone have experience with Rails VPS hosting? I''m basically looking for a hosting reseller option so I can have control of my clients domains and hosting.

I needed to install rmagick/GraphicsMagick on an IntelMac and did so from Darwinports. Some things work and others don''t work, like rendering fonts which needs X11 fonts and X server.

I just got a Google Groups notification that I had been subscribed to http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk. Looking at the page, it appears that about 4300 folks have been subscribed.

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well.

Hello there, So I''m still struggling with this fastcgi stuff. I''m trying to upload and process a decent sized ZIP file, but the request dies before it finishes and I get the following error: FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/Users/ryan/Workspace/rails/photos/public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (30 sec), referer: http://photos/album/new/4

Recently discovered Markaby. Before I use it on a production system, I''d like to know if it is still being maintained? According to the change log, the last change was in February of 2006. Does this mean that the project has been abandoned? Or, at version 0.3 it was considered production stable and complete? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

I am working on an application where there are many different screens to access the data in a particular record/row. I have links to each data entry screen at the top. Is there a way to detect whether the current hash has been changed from the stored record so I can prompt the user if they attempt to change screens without having saved their changes to the data?

Hi All, Just a quick note to say that I''ve released an intial version of the request routing plugin which essentially allows you to use various request object properties as requirements in routes. Most notably you can do: map.connect "thing", :controller => ''main'', :requirements => { :subdomain => ''whatever'' } ..just like the wiki

Can someone please tell me the best approach to adding support for editing MySQL decimal types in rails? I have a field in the DB that represents currency, and the view will not let save anything past the decimal place so, 10.99 becomes 10.00 automatically.

Ok so I am at a point that I read my entire book front to back and around and a around. And now digging through it again .. But I am now missing a key piece to the clues is the api.

What''s the current status of Markaby? I''ve played with it a bit and love it and am considering using it for a large project I''m starting. If you''ve used it, I''d love to hear your comments! Jamie

I''ve been using the Business::FedEx::DirectConnect perl module to track and ship packages via FedEx for awhile now. I''m wanting to convert some of this functionality over to ROR, mostly just the package tracking part. Has anyone successfully tracked a package using the Shipping API out on RubyForge? It seems like the functionality is there since it''s just another

I''m playing around with this plugin and I wanted to use REST in edge for it. Mostly because it''s there. ;) I''m actually having problems with how to make the map.resource for it though. The controllers name is Tumbleror and the models name is TumblerorPost. How do I actually make the map.resource command for that so it''s makeing a resource at the url /tumbleror.

I''ve got a nice XML view of my data that works just fine when I call it from the browser. Now I''d like a different controller method to take that XML and write it to the file system. Since the XML view lives in an RXML file, is there a trick to telling the controller "Get your output into a string" instead of writing it back to the browser? After writing it out
