similar to: Why would I choose RoR over Turbogears

My personal showdown: Using Ruby on Rails: I was pretty productive right away. Documentation though for the Rails APIs and stuff is not as good as I''m use to in Perl (particulariy CPAN). No being critical, just saying the Rails documentation left me hanging more than once and guessing as to what I was doing wrong. Production deployment is a bit much. I''ve found using

Does anyone know if there exists a Task Scheduler module in Ruby on Rails like in TurboGears below? http://www.turbogears.org/preview/docs/scheduler.html I''m using Ruby on Rails for a multiplayer online game and I want to set checks at regular intervals to see if users are still logged in etc. Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello my friends Today at FISL (International Forum of Free Software), I''ve had the opportunity to watch a Turbogears presentation. The framework, itself is really weak in comparison to rails, but... When the guy who was making the presentation show the NEW 0.9 TurboGears Toolbox I''ve though: - Isn''t something like that in Rails? Well, after a little googleing

Hi, A friend just introduced me to R today and I think it is really nice after browsing its web site. I'm eager to cook up some web-based interface to use R at work for more platform-independent access. I plan to implement it in a Python-based framework such as TurboGears or Django on either FreeBSD or Linux platform. My question is: how do i maintain stateful computations across

Ok, no one has said it yet so I will. http://37signals.com/svn/archives2/bezos_expeditions_invests_in_37signals.php?102#comments How is this going to affect Rails? Or is it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I started a php-based website a few months ago with a buddy of mine on netfirms.com. I was perusing their knowledge base and I came upon a quick-start for something called Ruby on Rails. Since then I have immersed myself in RoR. I''ve done the tutorials, I''ve purchased the books. But, I could never get even a sample RoR app to work on netfirms. 500 server errors.

I found this little post over at the Slicehost forums (http:// forums.slicehost.com): http://www.alrond.com/en/2007/jan/25/performance-test-of-6-leading- frameworks/ Speed test between Rails (1.1.6 and 1.2.1), Django (w/wo psyco and threaded/pre-forked), TurboGears, Symfony, Catalyst etc. Nginx as the front-end for all of them. Even though they are simulated numbers I thought it might be

Hey gang, How does STI work with HABTM? For instance...let''s say I have the following models ----- Category < ActiveRecord::Base Item < ActiveRecord::Base Product < Item Deal < Item ----- Each product or deal can have categories. Would I then setup Item with has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, then create a table categories_items ??? Is there a better way to do it?

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/... During my deployment script I chmod -R that directory and everything in it to make sure www-data (the apache user/group) has access to it. In development mode on my Macbook I can upload

I have a list of data.frames, and i want to iterate over this list and generate graphs with the same title of the data.frame. I did the graphs with: lapply(anual, function(x) plot(x[,'chuva'], type='l', xlab= 'anos', ylab = 'Precicipatação(mm)', col='red')) where anual is list of data.frames. I am plotting just the column "chuva" at each

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

I haven''t cracked the source of file_column just yet - but has anyone worked out a way to snag images via URL instead of a file upload? Optimally I''d like to have my clients be able to upload a file, or enter in a URL to store as file on the system. Any/all help would be cool. -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

I''m pinging the list to see if anyone is working on an open-source e-commerce engine based on Rails yet - something like OSCommerice I guess. Anyone? Is there interest out there for such a thing? I have such a product which has been extracted from real world code. It currently runs 3 production rails sites in various shapes and forms, implemented as a rails engine. Basic feature list: -

Hello world... I have an interesting issue that the online docs aren''t helping me with. In my app I have 4 models Item < ActiveRecord Deal < Item Product < Item Category < ActiveRecord Item has_and_belongs_to_many :categories... On each category record I''d like to maintain a product_count and deal_count to increase performance. This doesn''t appear

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part
