What would be the best way in rails to store a single variable and have it persist. Like a have a variable that says "total_visits" that counts the total number of page loads.

Hi guys, My site ( http://shunya.in ) recently started receiving some spam and I had ignored the issue till it became a problem, and I guess it is becoming a problem now. I looked around on suggested ways to address the problem and found two systems - CAPTCH and Akismet. I consider both of them in this email along with the reasons why I am debating using neither of them. Then I ask for your

Hey guys, I realized some people have had problems with nested controllers and the :overwrite_params call. The way I fixed it is like this: :overwrite_params=>{:controller=>"/#{params[:controller]}"} I would love to see if other people could improve on this, its not the prettiest thing. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

wondering if anyone tried this patch. (i havent, seeing as its 1228 lines long, 10 months old, and cant take serious a patch many orders larger than competing web frameworks) in many cases i want to keep about 10 things around, eg recent searches, new items (spanning multiple classes), referers, page views, without logging them for perpetuity. so i guess this isnt a normal queue, more like a

HI, it seems the :overwrite_params option has disappeared from the url_builder. Is there a reason or is it just a side effect of the new routes? Any chances to see it coming back? If that matters, I use it a lot :-) Raph PS: For those who don''t know it, it lets you use the current @params as parameters for eg link_to, just overwriting the values you want. For example, when displaying

Got Google Analytics running on one of my websites. Google defines a pageview as the most occuring event. Every refresh, every link clicked to a different part of the page, even loading from cache is an additional pageview http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=57164 Now it should be known that GA is JS based, and will report directly to Google from the

Somewhere between 0.13.1 and the current SVN version the :overwrite_params option to url_for (and related methods) went missing. I can''t tell whether this was deliberate or by mistake, and I have no idea how to get the same functionality in some other way either. Michael -- Michael Schuerig Life is what happens

Does anyone know how to disable a model''s callbacks? I have a routine that increments a page_view counter for various model objects in an after_filter in my ApplicationController. I call this: increment_page_view() Rather that checking through the trace array in each model callback for "increment_page_view" I''d rather disable the callbacks from inside

I have a little web app where we need to paginate collections of items. I''m trying to sort the collection and then pass it, sorted, to a Paginator, and still be able to paginate through the collection, across several pages, with the new sort order. The only thing I''m doing differently from the regular scaffolding approach is this: @order_pages = Paginator.new(self,

Hello, We're having a problem in Dovecot 1.1.8 with a failed assertion on certain mbox format mailboxes.

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?!

i''ve got several methods in my models i use to find based on certain criteria...i''ve done this so the controller code is less cluttered, plus the DRY factor. example: class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base def find_by_something(something) find :all, :joins => ..., :conditions => ... end def find_by_something_else(something_else) find :all, :joins => ...,

Just a quick heads up that Sylvain Zimmer has posted a performance upgrade for Prototype''s $$ selector, making the function up to 20 times faster. This could be just the thing I''ve been looking for recently as a site I''m currently developing makes heavy usage of that $$ selector and I have noticed that this can lead to a noticeable lag on page load.

Hi, I have @result_pages and @results obtained from paginate in an action. I want to show the pages as 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 > The fifth page will show: < 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 > and so on.

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
