When I explain RoR to someone I don''t have a convincing argument that explains why everything is so automatic and transparent, but relationships have to be encoded by hand in models. That shows I don''t understand well that part of AR. There''s the argument that says that not all databases offer metadata about foreign keys, but the natural question then is that,

Speaking of hosting, have any of you used a VPS provider that offers gentoo as the VPS OS?

I didn''t get a chance to go to this meeting debating WebObjects Vs Rails, but here''s a report about it: http://desperatepundit.com/blog/cremes/technology/2006/02/15/WebObjects-versus-Ruby-On-Rails.html I don''t get what he''s saying, hand coding the model? yeah, you COULD ... but what about script/generate ??? And is that so what he said about security? --

Than my question is this? Now that I have switchtowerized and migrate enabled my app I can start down a new path if need be on a different OS as the base of the system. We have already tried CentOS and found it to have more issues than those mentioned about fedora and through it away faster than one could shake a stick at. Here are our requirements for a stage/dev box and production:

We''re looking at big IBM hardware running AIX as a potential deployment platform for the big credit card processing Rails and Ruby stuff that my team is currently building. I was wondering if anyone else is running on AIX or knows if Ruby is well-supported on this platform.

Hey Everyone! I have a newsletter system that contains a multitude of different newsletters. In this case three but the system allows the user to add more. Every user can be subscribed to any amount of given newsletters. So what I did was I created a user model, newsletter model, and subscription model. The subscription model belongs to one user and one newsletter. However,

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 calling render_component in a helper. render_component :controller => target_controller, :action => "show", :id => target_id This works fine, except that passing the id in :params didn''t work and I had to pass in an explicit :id parameter to get the target controller to override the id - is that documented anywhere? That''s not my question. My

When I submit the form on the initial page, I can access that set of values in target action 1 and turn it into an array of objects by doing something like this (assuming that the option values are object ids,

Is there a development guide for best practices when making reusable components? For example, none of the login generators fit my requirements, and I want to write my own.

Dave, on another topic, might I recommend that you and DHH publish an updated version of the Agile guide right away when 1.1 comes out? You could reuse much of your material and it would do a lot of good to help make sure there is still a good centralized source of reference for Rails. Without that book, there really is not a good one-stop source of information for people to learn how to use

I''m doing a fotolog for a company. It''s expected to manage about 100k of connections per day and about 1500 concurrents connections. What hardware should I buy to manage those numbers of connections? I''m planning to use slackware + lighttpd + fastcgi, but perhaps we will have to reuse some scripts in php, in that case I would use slackware + apache + mod_php + fastcgi

I want append custom query parameters to my pagination links, like ?page=1&foo=bar. I can''t quite figure out how to do this with the pagination_links helper, although I believe the API says you should be able to: pagination_links(paginator, options={}, html_options={}) options are: :params: any additional routing parameters for page URLs Has anyone tried this? thanks, jeff --
