similar to: embedding a forum inside a rails app

I''m very new to Rails. I''ve been reading Agile Web Dev for a while and read up on ruby, but I''m still learning. I designed a website for someone for an engineering shop. New projects had to be added manually. Well, I figured this would be a great canidate for railifying! I have the form working perfectly, you can add your data and get it in a table, and listing

I have a ruby class that will be used sometimes from within rails, and sometimes from without (not in the context of a running rails application). It will reference models within the rails app, and It may be run manually, or may be scheduled via Cron (though I may look at RailsCron as well). I''ve seen help on the Wiki for using models outside of Rails (like this

Since upgrading to 1.1.3 on our dev box, we''ve started to see random routing errors with our apps running under Mongrel in production mode. The errors seem to go away after a while but come back everytime we restart the server. This may be a mongrel problem, it may be a rails problem (I''ve posted a bug on the trac) and I was wondering if anybody else had had similar

Hey, am i to stupid to find the information about how to route to a controller in a module? Maybe module support has gone! The controller is under: app/controllers/admin/my_controller.rb The my_controller.rb file looks like this: module Admin class MyController def index render :text => ''Hello!'' end end end How does a route to all controllers under module

I''d like to announce acts_as_habtm_list plugin for rails. acts_as_habtm_list is a Ruby on Rails plugin, that can manage ordered lists through a join-table. It is providing almost the same Api as acts_as_list. The position column has to be defined in the join table. You can find additional information at: http://www.inlet-media.de/acts_as_habtm_list/ Install it executing this command

I''m trying to be a good rails developer and fix DRY violations as i find them. However, i''m trying to fix this one, i cant seem to get it to work. I have two tables A and B that have a one-to-one relationship. Table B belongs_to Table A. Table A has_one Table B. I''m creating instances of Table A in different places, depending on the controller. However, for each

What if...you could produce accessible, unobtrusive javascript, using Rails built-in javascript/prototype helpers, with just one extra line of code in your layout, a plugin, and one small enhancement to the helpers. Something like this: [php] <% form_remote_tag :controller => ''foo'', :action => ''bar'', :unobtrusive => true %> # which produces

I made a brief post on here the other day about this and now I can proudly present the initial release of our unobtrusive_javascript plugin for Rails. We''ll be working with Dan Webb of Vivabit to roll in much of the functionality in his own as-yet unreleased unobtrusive_javascript plugin into a single plugin. This is essentially a preview release and probably not suitable for use on a

Does anybody know how to access the domain of a cookie from inside rails? I am try to integrate phpbb forums into my site and one of the things phpbb does is store a cookie. The forums are at forums.domain.com and the site is www.domain.com so i needed to set the cookie domain in phpbb to just be ".domain.com" so both sites can access it.

Hallo, what links would you recommend for an advanced programmer, who wants to know something about the basic idea and architecture of Rails. That''s no question for tutorials or howtos, but rather for theoretical documents and field reports. Can you help me? -- Norman Timmler http://blog.inlet-media.de

I have a model "Childmodel" that belongs_to two other models "Parent1" and "Parent2". "Parent1" "has_many :childmodels, :order => :positionp1" and "Parent2" "has_many :childmodels, :order => :positionp2". i.e. The child is independently positioned within each of its parents. This works fine and gets me the useful

Hi, I''d like to allow users to upload images and store those images in a Postgres database. I''ve looked through the example in "aguile development with rails" which suggests using the MySQL blob field. When I wrote a similar app in Java, we Base64 encoded the file and then stored it as a text field. Is this easy to do in RoR too? Any advice you can give me would

Hello, I have a situation where an ''employee'' belongs to a ''department'' and have setup the relationship as follows. class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :department, :foregin_key => "department_id" validates_associated :department_id end class Department < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :employees def validate_on_update

For security purposes, I often want to find objects that are ''visible''. e.g. class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :x end ... @person.x.find(params[:id]) as opposed to X.find([params[:id]). Simple enough for me. My question: Say we have - class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :x, :class_name ''Z'', .... has_many :y, :class_name

Hello everyone! I''ve noticed, that the book uses double quotes almost everywhere. It is like <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> I''ve checked the "programming ruby, 2ed" book and found that double quotes are most suited when escape sequences and substitutions are required. Isn''t it more semantically correct to write this code like
