I''m pretty much done with a project I''ve been developing to learn Rails, http://www.happycarpools.com . If you could take a look, that''d be awesome! Feedback would be even more awesome! Probably the coolest thing about making this has been seeing how Rails does *so much* and hardly has any superfluous parts, if any. There are so many features that I initially

Hi everyone, It seems like every time I want to evaluate a possibly undefined variable I have to use defined? to see that it exists first, so I can''t simply have -- if params[:range_start] > 3 or something like it. I need to have -- if defined? params[:range_start] && params[:range_start] > 3 I can''t even have -- if params[:range_start].nil? This is really

Hi everyone, Is there a time select helper which uses a 12 hour clock rather than a 24 hour one? Also, does anyone know if :discard_year actually works in datetime_select now, or how I could find this out? Thanks! Daniel

I want to make use of a form_remote_tag to submit a form asynchronously. Easy done. However, we also want to add an observe_form tag to check for some value changes while the form is being entered. The observe_form tag needs a dom id to work on but I can''t see how to enter an html option for the dom id of the form on the form_remote_tag. Any ideas? Here is the form tag so far...

Not sure if I want to build my own or use something already built that''s out there. This is the first step in my project though and a major one, so some of my requirements would be: 1-The ability for a user to register themselves 2-Email / link activation 3-Access levels (or ACL control - I think they are basically the same). 4-The ability to track users either through session or cookies

Hi All, I''m developing a Rails app with Rails v1.1.4, but when I upload it to Dreamhost and try to serve it with dispatch.cgi, I get the error "Cannot find gem for Rails =1.1.4".

Hello everyone, I have a problem when I execute queries using R 2.3.1 and MySql server 5.0.

Hi all, I updated rails to 1.1.2, and somehow, when I run script/server on a new rails project, I don''t see the sql queries in the console any more... It was very useful to see them live... Does any one have any idea why? Thank you very much! Nauhaie -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have two computers both of which are running Windows XP SP2. R 1.9.1 runs just fine on one but not the other. Both installations of R came from the same installation package.
