I need to set up a site to charge cards through LinkPoint. I did some searching to see what was available, and saw that Shopify uses ActiveMerchant. I saw that it hasn''t been touched in several months, though perhaps that''s simply because it hasn''t needed any changes. Just wondering what''s the best way to go about this. Thanks for any info.

Hi. When I upload a 10Mb file (from my browser) to my Rails app, a Tempfile object gets created on the server. When the contents gets written to the database, it''s a simple INSERT, so basically the data is read to memory and then inserted into MySQL. How come the data is not streamed to the DB so we avoid the memory issue? Is this a short coming of ActiveRecord or the MySQL/Ruby

After I have uploaded my app where do I specify that my app should now use production environment settings and not development? Can that be done dynamically so that I don''t have to reset a value once I upload website? Thanks for your help!

My needs are far more modest than Capistrano''s capabilities. Also, when working in a shared hosting environment, the Capistrano model can be outside the capabilities allowed by the Web host. I simply need to push selected directories (on a changed-file basis) out to a server. I have about 80% of the code written to do this (I''m considering YAC for the name, with a nod to

Hi, Its taking me a long time to get my head around the Liquid plugin. I have a couple of questions which hopefully someone can help me with... - How difficult would it be to add some kind of Filter or Tag which would allow other Liquid templates to be included into the current Liquid template (eg. similar to render(:file => "filename") - How difficult would it be to add

Anyone else having problems with :anchor? Until 0.10.0 it was working fine but with this recent update it''s just not doing anything. Thanks, Pedro

Hi, a Javascript in one of my Rails templates needs to load a static XML file. I tried several places to put the actual XML file, and I also tried to make the file a rails template (tried both .rhtml and .rxml) and access it via a controller action. None of these ways worked. Does the lighttpd server know how to serve XML files, or do I need to configure it first? Or, is there a good workaround?

I posted something about this yesterday, and got some good responses but it seems that the variable @request[''controller''] isn''t being passed in to the page or isn''t being read. Has the naming convention for these variables changed. it worked great in all rails versions up to 0.9.5 with fcgi, but is not working in rails 0.10.0 with fcgi. I am currently just

I am trying to use the login generator, but I keep getting the following error when I run "generate login Account": /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.10.0/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:84:in `manifest'': No manifest for ''login'' generator.

I''ve been using the login generator ''out of the box'' for simple authentication, and its been working fine. Now I want to extend it by simply adding ''type_id'' field which links to my ''user_types'' table, but I''m hitting: #<ActionController::SessionRestoreError: Session contained objects where the class definition

Can anybody share some examples of their Money implementation ? I''m trying to setup a Model to use this library, but can''t seem to wrap my head around how it is exactly supposed to work. My Model (Foo) looks like: =============== composed_of :commission, :class_name => "Money", :mapping => [ %w(commission_cents cents), %w(commission_currency currency) ] Yet, in

Has anyone used this to get data out of PHP sessions? I can get data out using the php_unserialize function however I am getting a array of strings that looks like this: ["key1: data1","key2: data2"] I would rather get RoR session style of associative arrays ["key1"=>"data", "key2"=>"data2"] Am I just being dense and there is an

Hello. I am converting my Java app to Rails and I''ve hit something that has me a bit baffled. I''ve been fiddling with this for over an hour and trying many different combinations so at this point I''ve lost perspective. It''s probably something simple but I can''t see it anymore. I have a component that looks like this: <% for advertiser_category in

Hi, does anybody know of any good HowTo for consuming XML-RPC and/or SOAP web services in Rails? I found some for Ruby (via soap4r/xmlrpc4r), but I was wondering whether there is something built into Rails already. So far it looks like there are methods to create web services, but not to consume them. Ingo Weiss

Hello, Let''s say I have a model for a "house". Each house has_a "city", which in turn has_a "state" which in turn has_a "country". The objective is to retrieve all houses in a given state, say "Massachusetts". Being new to Ruby on Rails what I like is that things that should be simple usually are simple, and since we have easy access to

I am in the process of trying to migrate to ROR from a home grown ORM, but one stumbling block is ActiveRecord''s typed associations and object ID assignment scheme. In the home grown system, I have a master table which *all* objects are packed into and a master associative table which holds *all* associations. This allows each object, regardless of type, to have a unique ID and thus it

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to figure out how to do SQL queries in the Controller. I know this is not recommended, but I can''t use ActiveRecord because I am dealing with thousands of a different tables, one for each user, and I don''t think AR can be made to handle that situation. You can assign the table name; but that''s a class variable so any particular
