Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

does anyone know much about resizing different versions of images with file_column? i tried it and everything works fine, but my question is can you do more than just make sizes with a version of image? i''m working on a photo album and i would like to resize the image to a medium size, but create a thumbnail as well and crop anything left to make the thumbnail a perfect square. --

i''m still pretty new to rails, and while i''ve been able to hack my way into having it do what i want so far, i''m not happy with the way my code looks. on top of that, i''m sure that what i''m doing prlly isn''t the most efficient either. one of my biggest problems is probably to do with using relationships and forms together. i''ve

I''ve been working with ActionMailer for a few days and finally have a pretty good grasp of it. In the book I''m reading, it shows how to send to multiple users or an array of users. Is there a setting or some configuration I can do to send the email to each person separately, or would I just need to loop through each user and send one email at a time? What is the best way to

i have a copy of the typo source on my desktop that i am going through just to get a better understanding of the rails framework and ruby itself. i''m fairly new to everything so it has proved to be very helpful and very inspiring. i''m stuck on a part though. i was trying to figure out how everything on the sidebar works. i found the components folder and started looking

i am working on a catalog for our customers to order printing. i have worked a little bit with imagemagick and pdf_writer. currently i am uploading a pdf and an image for the preview of the file. i''m just wondering if there is a way to convert a page of the pdf to a jpeg so that i only have to upload once. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i am trying to figure out how file column works so i can play with it a little bit on my site. i have installed it as a plugin to my rails application, copied the snippets on both model and view but when i try to run the page, i get an error saying "undefined method `file_column_field''" did i do something wrong or is something not installed? -- Posted via

i''m playing with the toggle_slide effect right now which is great. the problem i''m having now though is figuring out what state the div starts in. i want it to be hidden and slide in first, but it always starts out visible and slides out first. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i am reading Agile Web Development with Rails and i have some noob questions about it. i''ve gone through the depot application with hardly any problems and now i''m reading through the chapters that explain some of the deeper facets of rails. on chapter 14 it starts talking about active record. all the sudden, it''s showing examples of how to connect to the database.

i would like to move a site that i made a while back from php to ruby. most of the site was in flash and it just called my php files to generate the dynamic text in the flash movie. i tried the same thing and just had rails generate my text from the database but i noticed that i can''t pull anything like ''/main/flash_info'', i have to use the full url:

i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i finally got it working, but it''s far from stable. it was recommended to me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up. being new to this stuff though, i''m not sure if there''s a lack of documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not known by a noob
