Hi all, a little off topic, but was wondering what the best way is to re-write incoming requests so that they all end up at the same domain. For example, if I had: my_domain.net my_domain.com my_domain.org Whats the best way to map/redirect all of these to www.my_domain.com ? I know its possible, just not sure what to add for rules/virtual hosts in my apache config. Thanks for the help! -Nick

Hello all, I am developing an online store and would like to keep track of how many times each product was viewed.

Has anyone else implemented this and if so could you please point me in the right direction. A potential solution

Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

Anyway, all I''m trying to do is return a list of my 20 most recent photos, but nothing seems to work. doing this returns 100 photos for a given user (which takes all day to load) @flickr = Flickr.new ''API KEY'' @user =

Hello, I''m trying to figure out how I could implement fragment caching that expires every x amount of time. I thought of writing a runner script that would expire the cache and set it as a cron job, but that doesn''t really work because runner scripts act on models and not controllers. Does anybody have any ideas? Regards, -carl

I am trying to use caches_action and the agile book says that it is keyed off the URL, however it does not seem to pick up the URL parameters. http://localhost:3000/controller/action/id?foo=bar and http://localhost:3000/controller/action/id?foo=foobar Returns the same page. Anyone looked into how to add URL parameters to the cached key? Also, where do those file get stored? Thanks Dave

All, This is more of a theoretical question I suppose - I''m looking for what the consensus is for the "correct" approach in Rails/MVC. I have a standard security model where a User can have many Roles. There is a User model, a Role model, and in the db, a linking table, etc. Each role has a name as well as a category (say, name="waiter", category="restaurant

Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has
