similar to: Preventing crawlers on link_to''s

Hi, I correctly see: image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium") now I need to make it a link so I''ve used: <%= link_to(image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium"), {:controller => "products", :action => "sec_level", :level_id => @element.id}) unless

Hello all, I was just wondering if anybody knew whether mechanize is supposed to be thread-safe or not? I didn''t really find any information about it anywhere. I''ve been getting a strange error in protocol.rb when I run a script that uses mechanize in a multi threaded fashion, but not with a single thread. I''m trying to write a spider that does multiple gets in

I just did an upgrade to Rails 0.10.1. It seems to have broken my app. I get this error (nothing works): ActionController::RoutingError (No route for path: ""): /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.5.1/lib/action_controller/routing.rb:258:in `recognize!'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.10.0/lib/dispatcher.rb:32:in `dispatch''

Among other things, I run an http server on my home DSL line (6M/768kbit). The content includes several large image galleries, and when certain crawlers hit our server w/ multiple large image uploads, we end up with large ping time delays - sufficient to disrupt the kids'' on-line gaming. Attempts to control this with robots.txt has not be very successful; Solaris IPQoS appears quite

I thought that Rails was supposed to allow development of an application *without* having to restart the webserver? I know this works in WEBRick ... but this doesn''t seem to be the case in Apache (linux). Am I missing something here, or does this only work in webrick? I suppose one should argue that for development you should just use webrick, but this wasn''t an option for me

After *much* digging and playing around, I finally figured out how to unit test instance variables that are created by actions. It was more difficult than I expected. It seems like there should have been a more straight forward way to do this. Can someone enlighten me? A simplified and somewhat contrived example of what I am current doing: Thanks.

Is there anyway to make Rails NOT cache? I''m getting caching in the browser and the server. I have to restart Lighttpd after every view change to see the results. Thanks, phill

Hi Railers, I''m looking for something to do asynchronous encryption - where the encryption and decryption keys are different. This is for a scenario where I want to be able to store some information in the database that can only be decrypted in a different physical location using a secret private key (which will not be stored on the machine doing the encrypting). I''m trying

Hi Railers, I''m past considering myself a noob in Rails land - I think what I''m up against here is more of a bug or an anomaly that I''m unaware of (or that has changed in a recent version). I had a fully working validates_confirmation_of :email_address field in my app - was one of the first things I set up, extremely simple, been working for a long time. Then one

I can''t duplicate this problem on my local machine, but also can''t find any mentions of it on the Gmane archive, so thought I''d just throw in a quick mention in case anyone else comes across it. On Textdrive, using gem rails 1.1, in an app that works fine on my local machine, I get the following error in my production.log: "uninitialized constant

Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that includes a Family News section, and an Address Book.

Since I upgraded to 1.1, I am getting ''ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord'' exceptions when trying to save a specific record. I read up on ActiveRecord::Base.readonly? but I don''t think the condition there (objects pulled in from a certain JOIN type) applies. Here''s my code that is throwing the exception: @company = session[:company] @company.bytes_used =
