After I attempted to add ActionMailer functionality, it gave the "Application error (Rails)" and now, everything on my site works, except for the part where the Actionmailer ''would have'' sent the email. I took that out now, re-uploaded the file, and ran "killall -USR1 dispatch.fcgi" and still nothing. Everything else works, except that. Any idea what

Does anyone know how to get going with the flickr api WITHOUT using the ''flickr.rb'' gem? I''m wanting to just use the REXML and ''net/http'' stuff. I''m just wondering how to send requests to the api and handle the response. Any tips would be great! Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to automatically fill a "posted_by" text by with whoever is logged into the session. How do you set the value attribute using "<%= text_field ... %>"??? I''ve tried: <%= text_field ''post'', ''posted_by'', ''value'' => User.find(session[:user_id]).name.capitalize) %> But I get

How can I have the page redirect_to the same page after someone posts a comment? I know that you can do "redirect_to :action => ''index''", but the page is located at this URL: /posts/2006/02/01/individual_post/ So, the action is "individual" which is in the "posts" controller, but there is a custom URL mapped for the URL shown above. How can

I''m working on uploading my site to dreamhost. I just setup my production database, and gave it a host name. It said that it was successfully created. Now, it''s been like 25 minutes, and I still can''t connect to it. Is that normal? How can I get my tables created? Just wait it out? I''m trying to load it in the browser, and it says "server not

This is how I''m posting comments currently. This works, but I read somewhere that I shouldn''t inject params right into my sql query, because it makes it easy for people to hack in and ruin the db. I''m not sure if this even makes sense, but I''ve tried other things, and can''t get anything else to work. #currently def comments content =

Does anyone know how long it will be until Dreamhost get''s the Rails 1.1 install running correctly? My site has been down since last night at about 7:00 pm (I think). It''s annoying, and are a lot of others having this problem too? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can someone tell me how to store the current date/time when someone posts a comment on my blog? I could even update the comments table after the comment is saved in the controller, but I''m not sure how to do that either. Thanks for any help... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Has anyone got any good tutorials on how to send emails in ruby, seems a bit more complicted than PHP Thanks Scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

If I were to figure out how to develop an RSS feed for my blog, I should be able to test that locally right? If I go to http://mydomain.com/posts/feed/, what should I see? The XML output? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I haven''t had a chance to upload my app and configure dreamhost, but I did log in and create the folder using the "rails app_name" command. Now, my question is, I read online to do this: > cd domain.com > rails my_app_name So, I did just that. Rails will know what to do even though my application is in a sub-directory under "domain.com"? Essentially,

I''m having trouble with my Ajax comments, but only when someone clicks the submit button when there''s no comment. How can I handle this in my code? Do I use "rescue nil" or something?

I don''t know how to get more info about this issue on my remote server ( Linux/Debian6 - Qmail) localhost testing is fine , so my class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base is rendering correctly the email ( checked in the development log) now, testing the remote SMTP server , via the production console, using : ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {:address  =>

but the model isn''t the right place to send mail from. That just seems like pretty bad coupling, generating emails from within the model. Or is that not a problem? On top of that, these emails need to contain links back to my site...which is a bit of a pain in ActionMailer, but I found directions on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer however I

When someone comments on my site, I would like to store the user''s name as a cookie, and display it the next time they return. I really don''t know how to do this. Does this use the cgi library? As most things with ruby, I would imagine it to be quite simple... could anyone post a code snippet as to how this would work??? Thanks... -- Posted via

I want to append "#comment-1" or whatever, depending on the id to the end of my xml.link(" ... /#comment-1") attribute in my generated xml. Well, when I put: xml.link(" ... /#comment-" + comment.id) I get an Application error (rails) message when I look at the generated XML. This is what I''m doing without the id on the comments (its working fine):

I''m trying to get my del.icio.us links to appear in the layout, so it''s throughout the entire application. I have the interface to the API working, I just don''t know where to put the code (in what controller?) and layout to be application wide. I tried putting the code in "application.rb" and then the view stuff in "application.rhtml" but that
