Hi, everyone! I have been recently hit by ImageMagick/Rmagick memory leak issues. I know I can lesson the problem by manually starting up GC each time I use Rmagick library but ImageMagick seems to use way too much memory nevertheless. (on shared hosting setup anyway) Is there a decent replacement for ImageMagick library? I used to think ImageMagick was quite efficient because its

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

Hi, does anybody know if TMail supports nested multipart messages? I read a changelog that indicates so (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/actionmailer/CHANGELOG), but I haven''t been able to get it working so far. Maybe I am doing something wrong here? I attached the sample mail. Here is the code to parse it: require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi, As I understand, composite primary keys aren''t supported in ActiveRecord yet. May I ask if there are plans for this feature? Better yet, if this feature is under development, how''s the progress going? I''m not trying to use legacy databases. I tend to think that using multiple integer column id''s (composite primary key) are often natural way to

Hi there, I''m new to rails and I''ve been successful tinkering around but am miffed by the process of trying to connect to my mail server to receive email for ActiveMailer parsing. I''m hosted on TextDrive and have read the following article on the RubyonRails wiki: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToReceiveEmailsWithActionMailer. I want to

Hi, I''ve just deployed a basic ecommerce site on textdrive.com. The application has been stress tested on our local development machines and appears to be running fine (no memory leaks). However, on textdrive the fcgi processes are being killed after just a few requests apparently because of cpu usage (The log says the processes exceeds 17% average cpu usage in the last few minutes)

Hi. Using this: <%= time_zone_select("account", "time_zone" %> I get a list of time zones options, like eg.: <option value="Athens">(GMT+02:00) Athens</option> But as I''m using TZInfo::Timezone, I need to map ''Athens'' to ''Europe/Athens'' I can see that the mapping I''m looking for is

I''m trying to get substring from a utf-8 encoded string. (say, first 50 characters of the string) String#[0..49] would give me the first 50 bytes not 50 characters.. I know there is jcode library, but it only let you count number of characters in utf-8 string. unicode gem doesn''t seem to help much. unicode_hacks gem seem to solve the problem, but it also seems to

Friends, So there I was, minding my own business, trying to make my rails app timezone aware (DST, as well), since it''s all about the timing with this one. There are a number of excellent articles that I''ve been working off of, in particular this one internet archived version of Scott Barron''s very useful article on the subject that is no longer available at the

Hi, I am using the tzinfo gem and plugins to manage time zone support in my app. In one of the views I have the following select <%= time_zone_select ''user'', ''time_zone'', TZInfo::Timezone.all.sort, :model => TZInfo::Timezone %> This produces a list of all possible countries, does anyone know of a way to only display the UTC + / - options and not the

My interest in icalendar is more on the ical generation side instead of the ical parsing side. As such, I did a bit of work on a tzinfo mixin that will generate the timezone rules based on the tzinfo gem. This lets you do the following: estart = DateTime.new(2008, 12, 29, 8, 0, 0) eend = DateTime.new(2008, 12, 29, 11, 0, 0) tstring = "America/Chicago" tz =

I downloaded version 0.3.12 of TZInfo from [1], and observed that it has a very robust set of timezones including, for example, ''America/ Anchorage'': irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems'' => false irb(main):002:0> require ''tzinfo'' => true irb(main):003:0> TZInfo::Timezone.get(''America/Anchorage'') =>

hey, i have a record in the database gtm_zone with value ''Europe/London'' i want to have a select box with all the zones and the corrected selected @firm.gmt_zone = Europe/London TimeZone from ruby (trying to expand with TZinfo) dont want to select Europe/London, and not sorted <select id="firm_gmt_zone" name="firm[gmt_zone]"> <%=

Hi, I''ve been trying to do timezone conversion, and have some trouble getting it to work on my Windows machine. Searching the web, I found http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoSetDefaultTimeZone ...which explains how to set the default timezone. I''m using an environment.rb that include the lines: ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc ENV[''TZ''] =

I sent this earlier but I don''t think it ever came through. Sorry if this is a reposting. When using :priority_zones for time_zone_select in a manner described by the API docs for ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper I''m getting errors. Here is an API docs example: time_zone_select( "user", ''time_zone'', TimeZone.us_zones, :default =>

My environment.rb contains config.time_zone = ''UTC'' If my understanding is correct, rails should assume time values coming from the database are UTC, and since config.time_zone is set to ''UTC'', it should not try to convert the times. Instead, rails is assuming that the db values are Eastern (my local zone) and is incorrectly adding four hours to convert to

Maybe someone here can help me out. I''ve unpacked tzinfo in to my vendor/ directory using "gem unpack tzinfo" and got a vendor/tzinfo-0.1.1 directory as a result. How can I require this gem in my app? I''m trying to use a require line in my environment.rb but no matter what I do Rails seems to look for a locally installed copy in /usr/local/ instead. Any advice?

Hello everyone I wonder if anyone can point me to the library for timezone management with DST support, which has timezones, like flickr has. I know that there is TZInfo, but it''s a bit different for it has huge list of available timezones in ''Continent/City'' format. I would like my application to have timezones list more like on flickr (or windows regional settings) -

Hi all, I would like to start a thread on RoR related issues on the new Intel version of Mac OS X. I have been using Apple''s new iMac Core Duo (which comes with Intel version of Mac OS X) for about a week now. Here''s my experience: Ruby 1.8.4: It compiles albeit with many warnings. Most warnings were about "differ in signedness". It seems to work okay
