I''ve been trying to get a handle on AJAX today and am ready to call "BUG!" I started with the code from Curt''s "AJAX on Rails". It used <ul="my_list"> and <li> and worked fine.

Hi, since rails 2.2 doesn''t work with gettext anymore I decided to use a gettext dummy method until the gettext team relases a working version for rails 2.2. My application doesn''t need any i18n support right now and this way i figured it would be very easy to integrate gettext later. Just setup the plugin and go. So I need a method called _ which is available in alle models,

Thanks to many of you, I''ve got my session management working with BackGrounDRb. Very cool. So now I need to deploy it. I''m on a shared hosting plan (at a2hosting in case that matters). Are there any issues I should expect to have to deal with in getting them to deploy the plugin? Anything special I need to do? I''m wondering in particular about the ''start

I was just playing around in irb and noticed that while BigDecimal + Integer => BigDecimal, BigDecimal + Float => Float. Is there any reason for this? It seems inconsistent and means you have to check the class of any number you add to a BigDecimal, which looks very un-Ruby-like to me. Ashley

Hi all, I''m having a very odd problem with db:migrate. I''m using Rails 1.2.5 on Windows XP SP2 and Ruby 1.8.6 I have seven migrations. If I run them with an empty database, it runs the first three, then halts. When I look in schema_info, the version is 3. If I run db:migrate VERSION=7, then it runs through the remaining 4 migrations, and the version is 7 in the DB.

I have a migration "x" that when it runs self.up it adds a new column to a table, and of course when self. down is run it deletes said table... After I ran this migration I continued to work and in the process added a couple other migrations. After a while I realized that the column migration "x" created was a mistake and I no longer need it. So I ran rake db:migrate:down

Hi, I have a rails application where I respond to a request by fetching image urls from various web api calls and need to display them as they come available. I am able to display all the images once I get them all, but that causes an unacceptable delay for my user.

Hi Guys, I need to extract a text string from a longer text string. Both strings are variable in length and the text to extract is always between recognizable characters or tags (or the text to extract is from a known distance from said tags). I''m not an expert at text manipulation in ruby so it would be great if someone could recommend the best solution. I''m looking at the

How do I disable console''s default behavior of automatically outputting what appears to be an inspect of all records found?

Hi all, Currently I am working on a site which in principle consists of three div''s, a menu, a left div and a right div. Now the content of the left and right div can vary wildly but the overall ''feeling'' should be the same. Now I have one template, called ''index.rhtml'' which checks in a long list of if-then-else what to render. This is of course
