hello all, quick question: how can I find out if a given string matches the name of an ActiveRecord derived class? thanks in advance alan

I''m trying to deploy an app on Dreamhost and I''m getting the infamous 500 Server Error. Nothing in the rails logs because it looks to be happening before it gets there. In the apache error logs we have: [Wed Apr 12 12:51:51 2006] [error] [client 194.80.32.9] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/rlivsey/thatsprogress.com/current/public/dispatch.fcgi"

I have edge rails in /vendor/rails on DreamHost, but when running dispatch.fcgi I get the following error in my logs: [02/May/2006:08:52:32 :: 29365] terminated gracefully [02/May/2006:08:53:53 :: 19526] starting [02/May/2006:08:53:54 :: 19526] Dispatcher failed to catch: undefined method `clear_connection_cache!'' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class (NoMethodError)

We have encountered an anomaly that appears to be related somehow to Samba. When users are moved to the new domain hosted by Samba4.3 then the numlock on their keyboards is always turned off when they log onto the domain regardless of its previous setting. This in itself is just a nuisance. However we have an application called SnetTerm, an ssh client, which will not recognise the numlock at

Hi List! May I tap into your combined common sense ? I have a legacy logging app that needs to be modernized. At the moment, Data is going to be stored in 5 tables, one table is going to contain more than 200 million and 2 others about 60 million rows. Mysql will be used, unless someone sees a major advantage in using something else (at the moment data is stored in a raw positioned file format,

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

In the customized autocomplete demo, how does it know what content to use as the value of the autocomplete? The returned UL has the name, email address and an image. Yet only the name is used. How does it do this? I''ve been trying to get something similar going all morning with little success. Also, what does :skip_style=>true do? I couldn''t seem to find a mention of it

So here''s the deal. I don''t know the innards of rails well enough to do this quickly but you might. First person to write this and release it under MIT license or public domain, and tells me, gets a free pizza from your favorite local delivery place. You pick the toppings, I''ll call ''em and order it up for you. Yeah a pizza isn''t much but I''m

I''m trying to do an IN query, where I have an array of user objects imaginatively named ''users'': :conditions=>["user_id IN (?)", users.collect{|u| u.id }.join('','')] this ends up with: ... IN(''1,2,3'') ... Obviously I want this to be: ... IN(1,2,3) ... or even ... IN(''1'', ''2'',

Greetings! I''m attempting to use the act_as_versioned plugin to provide versioning functionality for my rails app, but can''t think my way through this: How can you use act_as_versioned to perform versioning on a HABTM join table? It is easy to see how to do so for join models (:has_many :through) but not so for the join table. I want to use act_as_versioned to maintain

I''m trying to use file_column in an app I''m writing. Simple file uploads are working fine. However, when I try and use the :magick options to make resized versions, WEBrick dies. This is the Media model: class Media < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :media_item, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => {:size =>

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

Can you do a periodically_call_remote to an action but then not display any new view? say the new action was called ADD. I don''t want to do an rhtml file for add, and I don''t want to render anything in the controller... I want to leave the page as it is. How is this done? Thanks, Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I just knocked up a quick plugin based on Rafael Lima?s Javascript which was inspired by the Browser selectors in CSS post by 37signals. It?s pretty naive at the moment, but could be nice to build on in the future. It adds two helper methods available in your views - browser_is? and browser_name <%= browser_name %> => mozilla (or whatever) <% if browser_is? :mozilla %> do

Has anyone extended the Autocompleter to do multiple auto-completes in a single input field? I''m looking to achieve similar functionality to the del.icio.us <http://del.icio.us> post page which allows multiple auto-completes of tag names in the tags input field. cheers, Rob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m in the progress of packaging some stuff I''ve written as plugins and I''d like to host the plugin code in their own project repositories at rubyforge. My preferred way of writing a plugin is as part of an application, i.e., my working copies of the plugins live in the vendor/plugins directory of a rails app. Of course, this rails app is version controlled in my

My hosting provider is Dreamhost, and for some reason can''t figure out something that should not be that hard to do. Being a linux newbie isn''t helping me much either :-) On Dreamhost, each domain gets its own subdirectory. To setup my web app for each domain, I just go to the parent directory of that domain in a telnet session, and type "rails mydomain.com", and

Whenever I do script/console I get an error message: Loading development enviroment. c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:151: in ''parse_opts'' : undefined method ''upcase'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb: in ''setup'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:54: in ''start'' from c:/ruby/bin/irb:13

I''ve started getting the following error on Dreamhost when trying to run any scripts or dispatch.* [barry]$ ruby -d script/server Exception `LoadError'' at ./script/../config/boot.rb:6 - no such file to load -- pathname ./script/../config/boot.rb:6:in `require'': no such file to load -- pathname (LoadError) from ./script/../config/boot.rb:6 from

I''ve been testing the in-place-editor on a few things and it works well. One use-case I''ve just come across though is the need to load in the text from somewhere other than the source of the page. For example, I have a block of text which is marked up in texttile/markdown/whatever. Editing that block should bring up the unformatted markup, not the HTML it''s turned
