I have noticed that the image_tag helper method now appends a request parameter to the generated src attribute. With Rails 1.0/actionpack-1.11.2 I had <img src="/images/rss.gif" /> Now (1.1/1.12.1) I get <img alt="Rss" border="0" src="/images/rss.gif?1142366545" /> Is there any use for that number? Where does it come from? This is very far

Hi there, I''m writing a little application that parses an image file and extracts the camera settings from the file (the EXIF data) and saves all the fields to the database.

The picture is stored on the file

Hi there, I have a User model and a Profile model. A user has_one profile, and a profile belongs_to a user. The profile model contains a user_id column as the foreign key.

Hi there, I''ve been digging around trying to find some information (mostly examples) on how one would handle a progress bar upload using BackgrounDRb and File Column.

In my application my filters

Hi there, I''ve been trying to paginate over a list of members that all share a tag in common using the acts_as_taggable plugin. The regular way of paginating over a collection doesn''t seem to work with acts_as_taggable. Here''s what my method looks like that takes in a tag name, finds all the members that share the tag and then displays all the members. Nothing too fancy

Can anyone explain to me exactly what are those numbers that rails appends to stylesheets and images when using stylesheet_link_tag or image_tag? At first I thought it would be so the browser wouldn''t cache the stylesheets, but that doesn''t make much sense for images, plus it seems that the numbers are unique, maybe based on the session. Any idea? Thanks

Every time I use an asset tag helper, there is a parameter appended to the end of my file name. e.g. <input src="/images/search.gif?1213816620" type="image" /> From what I am reading, this appears to be a timestamp for caching purposes.
