I''m just wondering if anybody has got any experience in integrating Flex or OpenLaszlo with Rails and which people prefer.

I wondered if anyone could help me with turning the following in ERB into HAML. I''m VERY new with HAML: ---- <div class="block-element span-7 colborder"> <span class="rightside blue-hue no_decor"><%= link_to "New Order", new_order_path, :remote => true %></span> <h3>Today''s Activity</h3> <hr>

Hi There, As I have learned the hard way, let me discuss my question, idea or feature here before doing actual work on it... distance_of_time_in_words_to_now() seems to be unable to tell if this distance is in the future or in the past. I''d really like to see ''in 5 days'' or ''5 days ago'' depending on, well, if it was 5 days ago or will be in 5

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

I''m trying to send http post request in the controller to a web address. In my application I''m using ajax to communicate with the controller, and then use the controller to pass the message on to a remote server, something you can''t do using ajax because of browser security problems. Just wondering what the syntax for a http post is in rails. Thanks Alex -- Posted

I''d like to have a count down to a certain date, but display it in words, such as "123 days away" or something. I''m aware of the function "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now()", which will display "about 6 hours" or "12 days" or something like that, but how can I get it to reverse? Pass it a date for future reference, then it will error

I wanted the distance_of_time_in_words_to_now method to have '' ago'' suffixed to it when the date is in the past, I assumed this would be the default behaviour but apparently not. I know of a REALLY messy way that i could solve this with, but it''s so ugly I can''t be bothered Does anybody have an easy, elegant solution?

Is it possible to display the log files in the view? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''ve been experimenting with implementing BackgroundDRb in my rails app but am running into some problems. The primary problem I''m getting is in cleaning up worker threads, or getting any kind of response out of worker threads. If try using the response function/hash in my Worker the worker will not execute reporting that response is an unknown variable or function.

Before I file a ticket, I''ll query ya''ll about this: The API docs for acts_as_tree''s counter_cache is to create a database column called "children_count" to hold the counter_cache. I have enabled this option in my model. While writing tests I wrote a test for creating children from the a parent: message = @forum_message["parent"].find child =

Hi all, Hope you can help me with understanding how Ruby / Rails treats arrays full of objects. Let''s say I have to arrays of objects. Both are the same kinds of objects. tomatoes = Fruit.find(:all, :conditions => [ ''tomato = ?'', true], :limit => 10) fruits = Fruit.find(:all, :limit => 10) And I want to create an array of these objects called @my_fruits,

I was wondering if it is possible to search word documents using ferret. The actual text in a word document isn''t in a binary format - only the formatting. Surely it would be possible to parse that? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I need a method similar to "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now" to be used in the controller. "distance_of_time_in_words_to_now" methods work only in view.

HI all, I''ve got a migration that creates a few new tables and populates a bunch of data into those tables from existing models. It works great. As expected. Tables are created. Relationships are made. Everything comes out fine as far as the data goes. But for some reason the migration task ends with this error: rake aborted! negative argument I''ve liberally sprinkled my

Hi, I always see RoR pages showing the elapsed time like that ''Published 3 days, 23 hour and 5 minutes ago'' ''Published less than 3 minutes ago'' I guess this conversion can be done using a Rails function, however I can''t find it. Does somebody know its name?? Thanks a lot Peter
