I''ve decided to dive into page caching for my rails app. I''m doing my testing with webbrick and it refuses to display the cached page for a particular action. I''ve modified my paginator helper to put the page parameter in the url so that the paginated page can be used with caching. This works perfectly when the page parameter is in the url (ie browse/2006/2 or

I am just diving into Rails and I am a bit puzzled by the link_to function. am writing an app to display my photographs in categories. My application layout has a sidebar to show a menu with categories from the categories table in the database (like in taken from the tutorials), to be shown on every page. I managed to get a global @menu_categories object that keeps track of all the categories

I was previously doing an update via .rhtml templates creating an AJAX :evaluate_remote_response. I use UTF-8 in my pages, and my app requires that I be able to, say, put Japanese characters in. The problem is that when I switched this over to an RJS template it started eating the encoding. I now get garbage characters where before I got the correct ones. The code for the RHTML: <%=

Hello! I was wondering, sometimes I raise an exception in my Rails apps, e.g.: raise SecurityError unless @post.user == logged_in_user Now: is there any way to catch that SecurityError exception somewhere and render a custom template? E.g., I want to render ''app/views/content/security_error.rhtml'' Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks a bunch, Rob

Hi, How do I make an image that is a clickable link the rails way? Is there a view helper for this? Thanks, Peter

Greetings all, I''m sure there is probably a very obvious reason for the following problem. However, after much hair pulling, I am just not seeing it yet. As you can see from the trace below, I am not able to complete scaffold generation due to some problem between rails and mysql. I double checked MySQL to make sure both my Ruby user and Root user have full rights to the database.

I''m getting a very strange error in a very vanilla Rails app setup: compile error ./script/../config/../app/views/home/index.rhtml:1: parse error, unexpected $, expecting kEND _erbout = ''''; _erbout.concat " <div id=\"index_main\">\n" ... ? Anyone know what this might be? I installed the Login Engine and the error started. I''m using

Why is RJS so dependant on programatic creation of Javascript? RHTML is a great implementation in that it puts HTML first, and Ruby second. I would have thought RJS would be the same way: a .js with ERb helpers for generating Javascript functions. RJS putting Javascript second means: - I have to learn a whole new set of commands to use Scriptaculous. - Developers have to constantly chase the

Hello ~ I have an email that I need to attach a PDF to. The email is being sent, and a file is attached but it is not the original file. I am following the example: attachment :content_type => "image/jpeg", :body => File.read("an-image.jpg") changing it to: attachment :content_type => "application/pdf", :body => File.read("pdf/my.pdf")

I''m having an odd problem. I''m trying to create an RSS feed (working off the Recipe), but "xml.link" generates error about "Can''t convert Hash to String". From the error trace, it *looks* like it''s calling the a fileutil ''link'' method (as in, filesystem symbolic link) - even xml.tag! generates this error. Er, how do I make

Hello ~ I have posted a tutorial on my blog, http://www.benr75.com/pages/lighttpd_awstats_tutorial, on how to get AWStats and Lighttpd to work together.

Hi all, I''m developing an app on a home Windows computer and using SVN/Capistrano to deploy to a Linux server. I''m encountering some bizarre behavior that I think has something to do with Linux and Windows text file types, but I''m not sure. What''s happening is that, whenever I edit my view files and reload the page in my local browser, I see errors saying

I have an e-commerce site and users check out with a form. The results of that form are sent to a "confirm your order" page via POST. I take great pains to NEVER store the full credit card number on my server--just the last 4 digits. I was very surprised to find that by default Rails will record POST requests with parameters in the production.log. And those parameters

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

Hello Everyone ~ Recently I have been moving Rails files between Mac, Linux, and Windows. As many know the Windows Ruby version 1.8.4 doesn''t like tab characters. I know in TextMate on the mac you can replace your tabs with spaces from the Text > Convert menu, but is there a way to set it to do tabs with spaces instead as you work? The preferences do not seem to have such a

Hi, Going through the archive, and just keeping a general watch on this list seems to indicate that there are some issues using scheduling with backgroundrb. I need a worker that will perform some actions on an hourly interval. These actions will require access to several of the models in my application.
