I have been using browsercam.com for CSS testing, but it is rather expensive. Recently, I discovered others using funadable.org to purchase a yearly membership as a group. A year long membership at browsercam.com costs $480.00. This gives us 25 user accounts. I am proposing that 25 people throw in $19.20 for their 1/25th share of the membership cost. Once I have raised $479.40 I will

I am having a devil of a time with some runner actions. I can not seem to call any instance methods on found records. Even when I strip is down to the basics: def self.deliver self.find(:all, :conditions => ["#{Message.table_name}.status = ?", ''pending''], :include => [:site, :template]).each {|m| logger.info m.is_recurring? # my method logger.info

Awhile ago, I posted some information about SMS Aggregators, this is just a follow-up, based on changes in the US market. As of January 31st, any commercial application, sending to US networks, is required to lease a CSC (short code) from CTIA. A CSC runs $6000/year for a random code, and $12,000/year for a vanity code. These charges are on top of the normal per message fees. This does

Does has_and_belongs_to_many know to delete an object when the last reference to it is removed? In my case I have Receiver <<->> Message (with a join table of course), but have noticed that when the last receiver removes a message from the association the message still exists. Before adding code to manage this situation I want to check to see if I am missing something? --

This is the first release of a new Ruby library for the www.bulksms.co.ukAPI which should allow simple integration of SMS functionality into your Ruby or Rails apps. Sending a message is as simple as: @service = Service.new(''username'', ''password'') @service.send_message(''This is my message!'', ''4479123456789'') # whats my

Having a devil of a time finding records in a self-referencing has_many table relationship. Everything is working find looking at the has_many and the belongs_to relationship. But, when I try to find all "orphans", records that are neither a parent nor a child, I can not find a query that work in ActiveRecord. This query works in MySQL: SELECT * FROM templates LEFT JOIN templates

I have an e-commerce site and users check out with a form. The results of that form are sent to a "confirm your order" page via POST. I take great pains to NEVER store the full credit card number on my server--just the last 4 digits. I was very surprised to find that by default Rails will record POST requests with parameters in the production.log. And those parameters

I was doing some research about creating thumbnail images on the fly after an image has been uploaded in a form, but for some reason it''s not working for me. I''ve downloaded ImageMagick 6.2.5 for Mac but when I run a test (identify image.gif) it gives me this error: dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib Referenced from: /Developer/ImageMagick-6.2.5/bin/identify

I am implementing a messaging system, which requires broadcast to group feature. Instead of a relatively clunky habtm group structure, I am using tags. Form a usability standpoint, it would be helpful to avoid redundant tags. Like, friend vs friends OR client vs. clients. Is it practical to filter tags, before entry, to avoid duplicate tags like plural vs. singular? -- Posted via

Hi, I began experimenting with habtm relationships, and so I created a stories table, a tags table, and a stories_tags table referencing the former 2. When I create a "story", I want to add several tags to it. Then, the model should create those tags and link them to the respective stories, and for the tags that already exists, just link them to the story. I tried something like

Hi all. I have never implemented online payment and it''s the only thing that keeps me from accepting a project for a UK based client. (I must reply quickly!) While I can afford spending an extra week - or 2 - to learn/try/tune the payment system, I must be sure to succeed before I accept the contract. If you''ve already been through that path, any hints, links and/or

Hi list, I need to represent a relationship between three tables: Tags (id, name) Users (id, name, email, ... ) Documents (id, title, ... ) I created a forth table called Assignments(id, tag-id, user-id, document-id, date). I have couple of questions: Should I use belongs-to and has-many to capture this? If so, How can I do that? should I have the id as the primary key in Assignment table or

There appear to be three acts_as_taggable implementations and I''m looking for a recommendation on which to use. - Gem - DHH plugin - Dema mixin The Gem implementation appears to be obsolescent, from what I can read on the lists and Google search. I like that the DHH plugin uses polymorphic associations because there will be lots of different taggable items in my application; however,

Looks like Rails 1.1.0 RC1 is finally here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/4010 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi folks, Thanks to the community feedback on the 1st version, I''ve come up with a much improved version of the acts_as_taggable mixin.

I''ve got two tables, bookmarks & tags. Using a has_and_belongs_to_many association, I can do lookups using a join table called bookmarks_tags. Two questions: 1. Can I have a migration for my join tables? Rails seems to "know" about join tables implicitly from the associations, but if I do a rake migrate the join tables won''t be built. I''ve been

Suppose that acts_as_taggable need three models: Tag, Tagging, Article Could tag search be realized using acts_as_ferret? Suppose tags:"a","ab","abc",If i wanted to get all the articles with tag name including "a", Could ferret satifisy this requirement? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Googling for acts_as_taggable is a little confusing: gem, plugin?! What are the differences? Which one to choose? Where is the best doc? Alain

Hi, I am using the ''acts_as_taggable'' gem and have issues when I try to ''tag'' an entity with a ''tagname'' already defined. i.e 1) book[1].tag(''science'',''paperback'') --> works fine 2) book[2].tag(''roman'',''physics'',''paperback'') --> creates an
