I recently updated my Rannotate application. The interface has been completely redone and there are lots of new features. The basic idea is to create searchable and user annotatable documentation for the Ruby on Rails API (think php.net). Check it out at - http://rails.outertrack.com * What is Rannotate? Rannotate is a Rails application and RDoc YAML generator that work together to provide

Is it possible to use the calculate methods (sum, etc.) on attr_accessor attributes? Ie: Class Item < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :total_cost def total_cost @total_cost = self.cost_unit * self.amount end calling Item.sum(:total_cost) or Item.sum(''total_cost'') both return a unknown column ''total_cost'' mysql error. I thought that active

For those that missed out joining the amazing turnout of ~70 people here in Vancouver for the mini-workshop I did on the 27th last month, I am making available the 30 slides I used for the presentation. The slides were used in conjunction with me demonstrating it via command line. Alot was learned by both attendees, and quite possibly even more so by myself while teaching the material. I created

Community, I have been putting off implementing a Date selector for too long. Tonight, I finally put it in. I made the choice to go with the datebox engine. Once I got it installed and working, I realized I didn''t like the way it required you to call it. Example: <% @dateField = model.date %> <%= date_box %> or... <% @dateField1 = model.date %> <%=

I have a RailsConf ticket available and am looking to sell it, as I won''t be able to make it out to Chicago as something has come up. Please email me off-list at nshb@inimit.com

My best guess at how to make this route map.connect '':user'', :controller => ''user'', :action => ''profile'' makes my link_to :controller => ''admin'', :action => ''index'' stop working ? I''m needing urls like http://localhost:3000/username but without breaking all my other controller index

The new gem version dependency system from Rails 1.1.1 needed a few tweaks to work properly and to stop throwing meaningless warnings. This tiny release makes up for that. To install: * gem install rails * rake rails:update:configs (to get the latest config/boot.rb) This release also signals our new commitment to do more tiny releases from the stable branch, which only gets bug fixes. So it will

I tried the instruction tutorial on http://maczealots.com/tutorials/ruby-on-rails/ and in the middle of trying to install fixrbconfig I got an error: usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h does not exist. This probably means you haven''t yet installed Xcode from the Tiger DVD. You won''t be able to compile Ruby extensions without it. Please install it then rerun this

For those who are developing interfaces for entering dates, I recommend checking out a new package I just stuffed for Date inputs.

Hi, I want to start using has_many :through. I think that eventually I''ll be removing all uses has_and_belongs_to_many from my project. Here is my situation I''m using SVN I want to use edge rails Reading the wiki about switching to edge rails[1], I can''t figure out which combination of subsections I must perform. Do I want edge rails to reside in the vendor

I was looking at using the date helper functions for inputing a date for some records, and was highly disappointed to see that they will allow the entry of an invalid date such as Sept 31. It sure would be nice to see the days available change based on the month selected so the user cannot enter an invalid date that must later be reentered. Does anyone know of a plugin or if anyone has

I have spent a couple hours researching the FerretOnRails and acts_as_ferret plugin, and am very pleased with what I see so far. My question is how to have my application, with multiple models: Speakers Talks News etc.. With all varying :string and :text column types, to be able to use a single index by which I can produce a search on. I will go through each of the models and add a

Hi, I don''t know who runs railsmanual.com. Hopefully I''ll find him here. Would it be possible to change the search from from using a POST request to a GET request? This would make the back button a little easier to use when returning to the search results. Right now a back button to the search results requires a click in an alert box to repost data. Thanks, Peter

Folks: I''ve uplaoded the B1.05 version of AWDwR. It fixes a number of reported errata (and a few that weren''t reported :), and adds two significant changes: 1. It now uses the new Active Record decimal -> BigDecimal conversion. I''ve personally been waiting for this for a long time, and I''m really happy it''s now part of core. However,

Hi all, Short of hacking the code apart, is there a method making the login_engine authenticate against email address rather than username? I find that people rarely remember usernames, and would prefer to use email addresses as the identifier. Thanks! Tom
