We are currently doing some development on a variety of branches that each have their own set of migrations (gee, database changes on a branch? how novel). The problem is with this strictly linear numbering of the migrations and these alternate branches. Let''s suppose I have branches/foo that adds two migrations 024_add_foo.rb and 025_refine_foo.rb and then another branches/bar

Has anyone profiled the performance of RedCloth versus BlueCloth? I''m starting to realise that RedCloth is a more mature ruby project, although Markdown the syntax maybe more widespread than Textilize. Apart from the syntax, does anyone feel they have a preference, in terms of performance or number of outstanding bugs? Many thanks in advance. CHEERS> SAM

Hi, I''m wondering is there a way to load default data in the migration script? So, for example I''m creating new table to store the order status, I also want to pre-populate the table with some data from a sql file. I have done a quick search on the list but cannot find anything. thanks, - reynard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

My friend and I (both new to RoR) were having a discussion today about whether or not you could build an exact replica of eBay using on Ruby on Rails. I think that it could in fact be done, or at least a very close model of the same concept. My friend seems to think that maybe in fact, it could not be done. What are your thoughts? Could an eBay clone be built using only Ruby on Rails? What do you

Hi, I am starting a project in rails and I wish to change scaffolding. I''ve already done some changes like prepare all texts for locale. Now I am wishing to change the way it generates the _form partial. Could someone give some guideline so I can study such thing? I saw "template_for_inclusion" in form.rhtml but couldn''t find out how to change it. Being more

People, I have tables years and teams and I have the years listing like: 1965 1966 1967 . . I want to be able to click on the year and ONLY list teams for that year. At first I thought the following was working until I started populating the table with teams for more than one year. For views/years/list.rhtml: <% for year in @years %> <tr> <td> <%= link_to

Hi, Just trying to get my first database based rails app up on dreamhost.com. The app was working prior to putting in mysql DB usage but I''m just stuck on getting the app working with mysql. I''ve already created the database and can connect to it manually. Below is the error I get after running the rake migrate. It worked OK on my home PC environment. I did change the

Morning/Afternoon/Evening All, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on forwarding requests to invalid images (ie images that result in a 404 error) via routes.rb or a similar method? If possible I would like it to be based on the url so I can have different blank pictures for different directories (ie /images/people/user_id.jpg => /images/people/blank.jpg and

Hi everyone, Where do you all keep your passwords for your apps? Out Subversion repo is locked down to authorized users, and only those users can see code in Trac. Is it safe to store passwords in there? For Rails? For other scripts? What''s your strategy for this? Thanks! Sean

I have three apps that I run from the same menu html page. On occasion, after a reboot for example, I show the menu page and run one of the apps. I don''t use the other two apps at all. Much later (hours or days) I click on one of the other two apps and I get the Application error Rails application failed to start properly" No log messages in the app''s

After drawing many virtual blank stares in the IRC channel and finding zero results on the wiki for ''sweeper'' I''m left to wonder whether these are actually officially supported, or are on their way toward being deprecated. Is there a better way of expiring caches on model saves and deletions? Sincerely, Tom Lieber tom@alltom.com http://AllTom.com/

Hi, Has anyone come across a Ruby mathematical expression parser, capable of parsing out token, replacing them with values then executing the mathematical formula? Nothing too heavy, A * (44/12) * ... etc. where A is can be replaced with a value. In Java there are serveral, like JEP, but I''d prefer it we could get a Ruby one now we have moved over to Rails, otherwise we will have to

Does anybody use and prefer Redcloth (or bluecloth, which appears to be alpha)? Does it affect performance much? Is there a way to get it to automatically process templates without having to call textilize? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, everyone, Just wondering if someone had come up with a good way to do fuzzy searches if you use MySQL as your database (we tried switching to PostgreSQL, but that ended up adding even more problems). Ferret sounds great, but reading through the discussion it looks like we need to solve the problem of write conflicts. I just wrote a post in ruby-talk about using KirbyBase maybe to solve

Hello all: I have been using PHP for quite a bit and am beginning to learn more about RoR. One thing I used to to in PHP scripts (views in particular) was to have a tag such as: <base href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER[''HTTP_HOST''] . $_SERVER[''SCRIPT_NAME'']; ?>" /> so that URL rewriting would not throw off the paths to images, css,
