Hi Everyone, This is a small release that fixes a little bug, some of the documentation, and adds the new RedirectHandler code and a @redirect@ call for the mongrel.conf files. It''s fresh so don''t rely on it. Everyone should upgrade with the usual *gem update* command (which tells you it''s "Upgrading...") and tell me how it works. This release fixes: * The

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

I''m doing some testing and want to start WEBrick as a daemon on my RHEL 4 server. How can I start this to run as a daemon from the command line so that I can close my ssh session and leave WEBrick running? Thanks, David

Hi. I''m a fairly new mongrel user and have a scenario that I wanted to run by you all, see if anyone''s synapses connect -- mine def. aren''t! I''m running a fairly simple rails app through a mongrel cluster (2 mongrels). This site is consistently sloooow -- memory on the server is regularly paging (and shouldn''t be). ssh-ing in and running top shows

Hi All, I''m working on building an app that can log and edit phone call information. I''ve got the creating and editing parting working great, and I''ve started an attempt to add searching. I can''t seem to figure out how to get an [:id] parameter from a form and passed between two controller methods. Right now I have a web page with a single text field in it

Hi, I am trying to include lightbox functionality in my app, but there is a slight complication. Apparently lightbox initializes all the links to lightbox events on page load. However, in my case, some new links to lightbox events will be rendered to the page through ajax events (obviously this means after the page loads). So I figure I need to find a way to call lightbox''s

Back in 2.1.1 everything was sweet: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> "$12.30" Then I upgraded to 2.3.2 and: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.3) >> include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper => Object >> number_to_currency(12.3) >> 12.3

Hi. I''ve installed Instant Rails, and when testing my rails apps, I''m noticing the load time is quite noticable. I''m concerned when I convert to real produciton, going live, if there''s going to be the same delay, plus additional bandwith traveling time. I am running on a pentium 4.. Insights on speed..

I was trying to access rails functions (number_with_precision) from an irb session. It can''t find the method. How do I load the libraries ? TIA LS -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello I''ve encountered a little problem with zeros using the decimal data type Specifying a scale of 3 and inserting a number with 3 zeros after the point (for example 12345.000) it gets correctly stored in the database, but rails insists to show me the number only with the first zero after the point (12345.0) There is a way to tell rails to not truncate at the first zero?

When you put up a page with a form on it and the top item is a text field it would be nice to have that field already focused instead of forcing the user to click in it before they start typing. Is there a rails (i.e. probably Prototype) way of giving focus to a field? I did some searching and found nothing. thanks, jp P.S. I''m on a Mac. Perhaps a winoze and/or unix automatically

Question about the number_to_phone function as provided by rails in actionpack: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/NumberHelper.html If I do this in my controller: num = number_to_phone(params[:phone_number]) I get this error: undefined method `number_to_phone'' for #<TicketsController:0xb7a2bfcc> Whereas if I do this in my view: <%

Hi, good day to us all, i was wondering if there was some kind of method for floats to change them into percentages...i looked up some functions in ruby-doc, but didn''t find anything suitable. is there such a thing? thanks, harp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was wondering if this is possible. I have a model (Item) that contains products. These products have prices that I''d like to format using number_to_currency. Rather than doing this several times inside the view, I thought it might be nice to do it once inside the model. The item table has an field called regular_price which holds a currency amount. I would like to do something

Any ideas why I would get an error in a RJS helper on view helpers such as number_to_currency. Example: # my_template.rjs page.help_me # my_helper for my_controller def help_me number_to_currency(10) end I have also tired page.number_to_currency but that doesn''t work either. Cheers, Nicholas

Hi Gurus, I have a class, specified in models cart.rb, which doesn''t inherit from anything--it''s just a container class Cart ... I just discovered I can''t call number_to_currency in that class. Any idea how to "include" it in my code? I tried ActionView.number_to_currency without luck. I could kill a few lines of non-DRY regexp code in cart.rb if I could

I have just started with Ruby and Rails and am still greatly confuse, finding the usual tutorials not much help. What I want to do is take two numbers from my database, multiply them together and display them in a list with a comma for the thousands separator. This would be very easy to do in a spreadsheet, so I assumed it would be easy to do in Ruby on Rails but I can''t work out how. I

Hi I have the following values pActualCost = 33.00 pPaymentCost = 29.99 So this calculation should leave me with 0.01 pPaymentDifference = pActualCost - pPaymentCost however when doing this in rails, it returns 0.00999999999999801 has anyone got any suggestions to whats going wrong and how I can correct this Thanks Scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Running "rake assets:clobber assets:precompile" will generate files like "application-xxx.css" with incorrect urls after upgrading to Rails 4. For example url(/fields/xxx.png) when it should be url(/assets/fields/xxx.png). For some unknown reason it worked once in development mode, but after running rake assets:clobber I can''t get it to work again... Any ideas

Hello Folks, After all the troubles people have had with Debian I realize that what I''ve done still isn''t enough for smooth sailing. I''m now going to hold back the 0.3.13.4 release in order to put an end to the Debian problem once and for all. I''m currently planning the following changes: 1) Specific documentation for Debian. Debian will become the only
