similar to: Can RoR''s AJAX helpers do this?

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

I read in the instructions of Tracks that "upgrading via the rake migrate command is quite a bit more tricky currently with SQLite and SQLite3". Is there any gotcha regarding migrations and SQLite3? -- fxn

I am using mongrel_cluster with mod_proxy_balancer and would like to enable compression (assuming it improves throughtput) and limit file size upload. I configured mod_deflate and LimitRequestSize in Apache, but in my trials looks like the proxied calls bypass those directives (the conf goes below). Is there a way to get this? -- fxn # Adapt this .example locally, as usual. # # To be

Hi guys, My start_form_tag generated form will not accept a text field containing an ampersand. For example, the text ''A & B'' is trunacted to ''A'' in the param hash. I know ampersands have to be encoded in URLs, but I''m surprised my form has a problem with this. I''ve tested this in Safari and Firefox. thanks Lindsay -- Posted via

I have an application with 15 migrations under version control. In a Mac and and in a Windows, a rake migrate from scratch runs them all just fine. But in a different Windows machine rake migrate stops after migration 3 for no apparent reason. --trace seems normal. No error is reported. Both Windows are XP SP2. They all have the same svn revision and Rails-related software, database is

Hello, I felt annoyed enough when having to redirect user back to their previous location in a hackish way that I wrote this plugin. It avoids storing POST and Ajax request. It also has a facility to specify actions not to store in the history. If you are interested, it''s there: http://blog.cosinux.org/pages/rails-history See you all, Damien -- Damien MERENNE

I am pondering the possibility of encrypting/decrypting some fields in a SQLite backend on-the-fly. The point of the message is not security, I know that''s broken, but whether there''s a technique that provides on-the-fly save/read filters. Of course the solution would need to work transparently in joins, so user.posts.last.title would do the right thing if title

I want to load about 14000 words (a subset of /usr/share/dict/words) into a MySQL table in a migration: class CreateWords < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :words, :force => true do |t| t.column :word, :string end say_with_time ''loading words...'' do words = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''db'',

I have an application that worked fine, but after the recent updates has broken in some calls to render_component from views. I might be missing something but as far as I remember Rails updates is the only thing I''ve done in between.

I have just some vague and thus probably wrong ideas about when to use model() in controllers, and by now I err on being redundant. I don''t post them here to avoid leaving anything that may be false in the archives. Can anyone explain exactly in which cases one should use model()? -- fxn

Hi all, I just watched the rail video: http://www.rubyonrails.org/media/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov I am just curious. I can tell that the video was done on a Mac, but I cannot tell which applications were used for editing the code, and for interfacing with MySQL database. As far as editing source code, I normally use BBEdit (I''ve used it since 1994), but the editor used in

What''s the standard way to prevent race conditions in controllers? Say user has many posts. Post controller has action add_post that receives user id, post controller find()s the user and while he is creating the post entry an administrator deletes that user in a separate session. We cannot assume the database checks foreign key integrity. How do you get that right? -- fxn

Let''s imagine we are modelling a company that have several shops. I have a Worker model and a Shop model. A worker belongs_to a shop, and each shop has_many workers. But, in a shop there''s a distinguished worker that is the supervisor create table shops ( ... worker_id integer -- the supervisor ); How would you express this relationship?

In Depot, the demo application in the the Agile book, actions that modify the model such as add_to_cart redirect to another action that has a clear view role, like index, or show_cart, instead of generating the view themselves. This uses an HTTP redirect that goes to the client and returns. Is this an idiomatic way to design the flow in Rails? -- fxn
