Hi I have just started playing with ROR and I think its very good. My only problem is that I am new to web development and know much abount html. I was wondering if there is any tool/plugin I could use to design rhtml pages. Regards Sandeep -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve written my app already. It outputs valid xhtml and I need a stylesheet to drop over the top. How hard is it for people to understand that? It''s a small project, they''d have to do the main design/layout, and then a little custom styling for some specific elements which don''t appear on every page. That''s the point of CSS right? write once, use

Hello everyone, I just showed a friend a prototype of a site offering a service I''m trying to sell (sorry, not on the Internet yet - he saw it at my house). His comment: "Looks like it does everything, but also looks pretty ugly. You''re not going to wow anybody with that". Sitting back and thinking about it, he''s dead right - it needs some bling to make it

I''m preety new at RoR (and programming), I tried a few tutorials, and really like the RoR simplicity, but my knowledge of the framework still isn''t very good (to be true, i understand the basics, but not everything that''s in the tutorials). But still I''d like to create a website which has: - front end interface (with no edit functions) - admin interface

Hi all, what is the best way tod esing a form in RoR? Do you use Dreamweaver or something similar? thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I saw this on a forum for MODx (a CMS which seem very good, built on standards, with clean XHTML/CSS, using PHP). "RoR is a killer application, but is either a crusher when it comes to memory usage or SQL usage. Even simple seeming things can kill a server if it''s not dedicated to the application. In addition, RoR is much more complex really than MODx if you''re not

Hi everybody, after looking a bit around the Internet and checking which website style some users of webgen are using, I found that many people just stay at the default webgen website style (which is not really pretty ;-) So, I''m thinking about changing the default webgen website style to something more Web-2.0-ish, and I would like to know if there is a particular website style

There was some discussion on this list recently about doing .rcss templates in Rails using a custom template handler. I''ve come up with a very simple way to support rcss without a handler. Turns out all it takes is a route and an action that calls render(:file...). I put a full write-up on my blog earlier today:

Has anybody else had a problem with using Lightbox in their RoR apps? I include all the necessary files in application.rhtml and then attempt to use the Lightbox functionality in pages and such. Nothing happens except that a new page opens up with the link to the image I was attempting to show with Lightbox. I''ve even gone so far as to strip out everything except the necessary

Fellow Railers, Is there anything, anywhere, that I can read that discusses overall RoR app design? I have the Agile RoR book, which is great for learning the details of RoR, but unfortunately doesn''t cover the overall issue of creating a large, complex RoR app. My staff and I are still in the process of getting up to speed on Ruby and RoR, but we also need to begin thinking about

I am considering trying Rails out on a small web project where I will be working with a designer. What is the typical workflow and relationship for this: 1 have the designer learn rhtml or 2 have the programmer take html mock ups and turn them into rhtml In the past I have used Django (also very nice), which has a fairly accessible (ala php) templating language.

Hi, >From idea to launch in less than 48 hours (those 48 hours including the new year party ;) , rails once again showed its effectiveness. Last friday I read the news about a guy who sold a million pixels for 1$ each on his homepage. After slamming my head during half an hour for not having thought of it [1], I thought I''d better spend some time on a rails project, and more as a

Gents, We''re hard at work on a new Rails app. We''re a small group of developers...not a web designer in the bunch. We know CSS enough to be dangerous, but we shy away from the "softer" skills (all the while envious of those with that capability). We intend to grow our application in terms of functionality, but I need to make sure we keep an eye towards

Just wondering if anyone knows of a site where one could review a number of website layouts (which use CSS concepts) where you could then select the one you want and then just download the template HTML and CSS to import directly in your application. i.e. Gives you a decent overall look and feel straight away and then you can concentrate on your actually dynamic application aspects.
