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 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

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

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

I''m getting complaints from one of my customers that characters in their text are getting mangled. This happens when they paste data into my textboxes in rails from MS word in particluar.

Yo Zed and everyone else, I''m having a major problem I''m hoping someone can help with. I''ve been running mongrel clusters for a few months with no problems on a couple of my boxes. They both run Debian... I recently moved one of my older Rails apps on a FreeBSD 5.5 box to mongrel as well. Everything runs quickly and wonderfully - when it''s running! My problem

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: -

Has anyone accomplished storing settings that would normally go in environment.rb into the database? For instance, I''d like it if I could specify my ActionMailer properties from a web UI admin panel ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = { :address => "mail.server.here", :port => 25, :domain => "somewhere.com", :authentication => :login,

Yo guys... I''m starting to get into testing my current e-commerce Rails app before I Engine-ify it...(Codename "Substruct" - don''t sleep!) I''ve got some data that should be loaded before each test. Convention tells me that I should prepare this data in nice YML files as fixtures, although I''m not quite so sure. The data in question is a country list

I''m just wondering what happened to Armageddon and whether people had any more information/news about it. I''ve thought about comet but I think that a flash socket would be easier to implement. Does Armageddon have the same drawbacks as other flash sockets, namely not working over port 80 (so the companies firewall blocks it)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello Everyone, Does anyone have any insight into the DWR library (http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr/index)? I want to know the pros/cons of using DWR Vs Prototype/Scriptaculous libraries. I am a great fan of the prototype/scriptaculous combination and have been working with them for the last 3-4 months but for some reasons I have been asked to look into DWR. Due to it''s tight integration
