I''m getting this error in Rails: undefined method `include'' for #<MenusController:0x408efd1c> The offending code is: require "rexml/document" include REXML I see there may be a problem with GCC 4 on OSX, but I''m using Redhat with GCC 3.2. http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2005/12/22/is-gcc-4-0-incompatible-with-ruby-on-os-x-and-elsewhere

I have a feeds controller which generates RSS and Atom pages. I put ''caches_page :show'' in it. The problem is that the pages are saved with an html extension. As a result, browsers display the cached feeds as HTML rather than XML, and feed validators complain. There''s an option to set ''Base.page_cache_extension'' globally, but I don''t want

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

Is it possible to write map.connect rules in route.rb that externally redirect (HTTP 302) to other actions? thanks csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Is there an easy way to deal with nil properties in templates? All I''m aware of are these methods, and it''s quite tedious and surely violates DRY. <%= @member.name unless @member.name.nil? %> <%= @member.name.to_is %> <%= "#{@member.name}" %> csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I''ve looked through the docs and the wiki and can''t figure out how to go about generating select options and the update function for an item that has a HABTM relationship. I have a ''parks'' table and the park model has a HABTM to the ''states'' table. On the park edit page, I''d like a multiple select box to appear with all states show,

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

Hi all. The subject pretty much says it. I''m running on a VPS-style shared server at pipespring.com. I''ve got Typo setup, and have been running it fine for about a month. However, today I got an e-mail from my host saying they disabled Ruby (chmod 000) because it was using waaay too much swap space. I haven''t changed anything with my server at all (Rails or otherwise)

I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Is there a way to do this in a view? <% redirect_to ''http://url.com'' %> All I can think of is outputting a link and using Javascript to click it, or probably do something like ''doc.location(url)''. csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I want to be able to find items according to various params - category_id, member_id, type_id, rating, etc. What I have now is something like: if(@params[''category_id'']) @items=Item.find(:all, :conditions=>["category_id=?", @params[''category_id'']) elsif(@params[''category_id''] and @params[''member_id''])

How can I handle ''recognition failed'' errors so they act like typical 404 errors? By displaying a message, page and/or redirecting. thanks csn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

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/

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

With this route: map.connect ''items/:subject/:id'', :controller=>''items'', :action=>''show_redirect'', :requirements => {:subject => /.+/, :id => /\d+/} Is it possible to have it match these URLs: items/biology/123 items/chemistry/234 items/math/456 But not these: items/new items/list ... The problem is that :requirements only

With a hash such as: stuff = {''1''=>''desc 1'', ''2''=>''desc 2'', ''3''=>''desc 3''} options_for_select(stuff) will output: <option id="desc 1">1</option> <option id="desc 2">2</option> <option id="desc 3">3</option>

With observers, you have to do (according to AWDWR): ItemObserver.Instance What is ''.Instance''? I''ve looked in both the Rails and Ruby docs and don''t see any mention. I presume it''s like ''new''? thanks csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In my item upload view I have: <%= file_field ''item'', ''file'' %> and in my Item model: def file @file #@file.original_filename # <- also tried this end def file=(file) @file=file end And if the upload bails because of errors (and renders the same page), all other fields (text_field, text_area, etc.) retain their inputted values, but the file

This is probably more a Ruby question, but somebody here probably knows ;). Is there some handy Ruby or Rails library that can get data from other sites (like Amazon and Flickr) via REST, then return it in nice arrays, hashes, objects, etc.? I''ve searched quite a bit and haven''t been able to really find anything. There is a ruby-amazon library, but it''s for an older

>From the docs: "Note that any fields in the join table will override matching field names in the two joined tables. As a consequence, having an "id" field in the join table usually has the undesirable result of clobbering the "id" fields in either of the other two tables." I do have an ID field in the join table, and as a result it''s clobbering the ID
