similar to: Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1 and Rmagick?

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

Hi all, I''m developing an app on a home Windows computer and using SVN/Capistrano to deploy to a Linux server. I''m encountering some bizarre behavior that I think has something to do with Linux and Windows text file types, but I''m not sure. What''s happening is that, whenever I edit my view files and reload the page in my local browser, I see errors saying

I just put the finishing touches on Substruct v0.06. As always, you can check out a demo over at http://substruct.subimage.com/ What''s new? Version 0.6 --------------------------------------- Added: - Tagging for products - Maintenance of product tags - Automatic image thumbnail / small size creation via RMagick Updated: - Better shopping cart experience with AJAX cart

Hi, everyone! I have been recently hit by ImageMagick/Rmagick memory leak issues. I know I can lesson the problem by manually starting up GC each time I use Rmagick library but ImageMagick seems to use way too much memory nevertheless. (on shared hosting setup anyway) Is there a decent replacement for ImageMagick library? I used to think ImageMagick was quite efficient because its

I am having issues loading imagemagick and rmagick on webfaction. I have installed a rails app called balder that organizes images. my main problem is that i can''t seem to upoload the image sthrough balder. balder uses imagemagick and rmagick when i use the console and do this: irb(main):003:0> require ''RMagick'' => nil I don''t think rmagick is

I''d like to implement a system in a Rails app where I allow the user to upload an image file, and then the app takes that image and manipulates it, saving a thumbnail, small, and original size version of the file to the server. How would I go about doing that? Thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello ~ I have RMagick and file_column working in RoR. In my model I am setting up some standard sizes for the submitted photos. The photo files are created and named correctly, but the sizes are wrong. Only the second argument of my geometry call is used, with the width dimension being resized proportionately. file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { "medium" =>

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?

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 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 know that Zed has made mention of the fact that using RMagick with mongrel and rails is a bad thing. I''m currently using FlexImage (which in turn uses RMagick) on my application and really haven''t had too many problems. We get a restart for memory usage every 8-10 hours on one mongrel of twelve running, but I''m not sure if that''s an RMagick issue. Either way,

We just upgraded to Ruby 1.8.4 and Rails 1.1. It works fine on my Mac OSX, but in Windows, Rails spits out errors like "Invalid char `\002'' in expression". Apparently, Ruby or Rails on Windows has a problem parsing tab characters. This seems to be a common problem: http://softiesonrails.com/articles/2006/04/27/spaces-not-tabs However, the only recommended solutions seems

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 got a Powerbook recently and am debating buying TextMate. I installed the trial and have checked it out, but don''t see what''s so great about it. AFAICS it''s the Ruby and Rails macros for expansion and other stuff that might be it. Other than that, TextMate seems like a pretty basic editor. I currently use PSPad and Editplus, and I could probably get/make macros

Finally it''s here :) The Rails app to do battle with the likes of Miva Merchant and OS Commerce! I''m releasing Substruct 0.051 into the wild.

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

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: -

I''m going to be generating thumbnails from user uploaded images. I''m looking around at the libraries available to do this sort of thing and there are three that look promising.

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
