Hi folks, I''m a linux noob, and I''m trying to pick a distro for my rails server. I don''t want to start a flame-war about linux distros! I''m interested in the best distribution for these criteria: 1 - Simplicity of getting ruby and rails set-up (gem updates) 2 - Stability (it is a server, after all) 3 - Support resources (community, and as a fall-back, paid

Before I dig in any further (since I have no idea where to go from here...) Has anyone been succcessful with 2.3.2, AS, and nested scaffolds? I have the latest of AS and the render_component plugin via % script/plugin install --force git://github.com/lackac/render_component.git -r rails-edge I have an AS user_controller: active_scaffold :user do |config| ...

Greetings, I was trying to update the Lustre Wikipedia page today, and while checking the latest release version, I found that the 2.x download links from these pages do not work: http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Download:Download http://lists.lustre.org/pipermail/lustre-announce/2010-August/000250.html http://downloads.lustre.org/public/lustre/ http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Main_Page I

i have a controller like this: class SpoilageController < DataEntryController before_filter { check_access_key(''_SP'') } ... and in the parent class is this: class DataEntryController < ApplicationController def check_access_key(key) if !@session[:user].admin && !@session[:user].data_entry_access.to_s.upcase.include?(key) render

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I''ve implemented a basic search with AAF, which works as expected; I''m running a ferret drb server, and using will_paginate to page results. The code in my search_controller.rb: search_text = params[:query] || " " @products =

|Interesting... On a new project with a fresh database just created, I downloaded the smooth-loking Ajax Scaffold generator and tried it out on a ''pages'' table: C:\radrails\project>ruby script\generate ajax_scaffold Page PageAdmin (I''m using Windows.) After it calmed down I tried to access my shiny new admin page, but I got this:| ----- NameError in

If I have several controller actions which have this same line of code (or more), how can I DRY up the line without running into complaints about redirecting or rendering only once? If I put the line in another method in my controller, won''t it think I''m redirecting? I want to dry up lines like this: @listing = Listing.find(params[:id]) def customerview @listing =

I have to build an array through both activerecord and also through a ferret index. I was hoping to find a way of sorting the array as i combine the two so def advanced_search(search_text, store, format, sortby) # find items in ferret index items = Item.find_by_contents(search_text) # and now find all the items from a certain store or category items_from_sql = Item.find_by_sql("SELECT *

I''m trying to convince a co-founder of the startup I''m working on that rails is the new black, or possibly the next sliced bread. Does rails ship with doc, or the API? I can''t even figure out how to download it from api.rubyonrails.com, or if that''s possible. When I look in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-1.1.2\doc I see nothing of use. I have to admit

Hey, I''m trying to figure out what the most elegant way to do this - I''ve only got a small amount of different subdomains corresponding to categories - and I''ve been using fragment caching. In particular, I was wondering what the best way to call these actions is - I''m thinking redirect and render_component aren''t really very nice

I was wondering if rails had any means of restricting access to an action in a controller (like they can''t type in url.com/cont/action, that would throw an error). The thing is I would like to be able to access this method/action through a call to render_component, so therefore, I don''t think private methods will work. So basically I am looking for something that cannot be

I''m calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My

I have a application that it use view/layout/application.rhtml, in this file I have: <%= render_component :controller => ''car'', :action =>''index''%> But there is one problem, it display this problem: undefined method `render_component'' for #<#<Class:0xb67e6e48>:0xb67e5f34> How can I resolve this problem? -- You received this

Using Rails 1.1.2 and ruby 1.8.4 I''m having a weird issue with the flash when using render_component for an action inside different controller than the one from which you render. I''m passing an object via flash across a couple of actions (new and create) behind the scenes using flash.keep(:object). It works fine if the component I''m rendering is in the same

I''ve made some test: ------------------ CODE ------------------ class FooController < ActionController::Base caches_action :foo def foo render_text ''Hello, foo<br />'' end end class BarController < ActionController::Base def bar render :inline => <<-EOS Hello, bar <br /> <%= render_component(:controller =>

Hello, i have one layout file for all controllers. I would like to have news list on each page. So, i put <%= render_component :controller => "news", :action => "list" %> , to my layout file. But this doesn''t work at all. I get error "Application could not be started.. ". If I put render_component to some view file say

Okay in this plea for help I''m going to repeat some of what i posted before but with a larger amount of background info in the hope that i can get a decent grip on ferret before it wriggles away.. Firstly, what does installing the acts_as_ferret plugin actually do? I install it and add it to my model and then the index is automatically generated and a few methods are added to it and

Hey guys, This is the final list of the new maintainers of each plugin. We need two more things to do: First please the owners of the repos add the rest of the maintainers. Second I will add a note on each rails/plugin mentioning this repos updates. So from now on, if someone else is interested in helping/contributing please send a message to the appropriate repo owner. verification

I''ve found several web pages that describe how to use git submodules to install plugins, but it seems that those pages are missing something (or more likely, I am) . In a nutshell, they advise replacing $ script/plugin install git://path_to_spiffy_plugin with $ git submodule add git://path_to_spiffy_plugin vendor/plugins/spiffy_plugin It seems to me that these are not exactly
