Campfire REALLY intrigues me... Its simple enough, yet the possibilities are endless once they get the API in place for it. I''m curious though, how are they handling they load with say 50 campfire sessions going and 20+ people in each session. There are a lot of AJAX.Requests going I''m assuming. Seems to me the server *should* be getting bogged down on the constant

I''m having some trouble with an instance variable being read as nil in my app. I have an image uploading, that can be added to categories. The page loads up initially fine, and if I upload an image without errors everything works fine.

One more question: Is there some way to set the human_name of a column? e.g.: human_name for column address1 shouldn''t be Address1 but "Address, line 1". If not, should I make a hash with my custom names?

Hi, I''ve noticed that my remote_function calls are resulting in POST requests. As a result, my routes do not apply since it does not generate a url based on the parameters, but simply posts to the raw url with post data. I want to make a GET request instead of a POST. How can I do that? Has anyone else run into this? Thanks, Ryan -- View this message in context:

I need to use UTF-8 in my app and was wondering if Rails would support it properly. Some sites seem to be saying that it has weak internationalization support. Is this true?

I have an ActiveRecord subclass that needs to generate a random (hard to guess) token for each record in its corresponding table. Currently I''m doing something like this: def before_create self[''token''] = random_value while self.class.find_by_token(self[''token'']) self[''token''] = random_value

I''m looking for someone to confirm the following as a bug in Rails 1.0 before I post it to Trac. If I use eager loading on an association that has conditions defined, the conditions are ignored. The following example illustrates the problem. I have two tables: create_table "blogs", :force => true do |t| t.column "name", :string end create_table

I''ve seen: http://habtm.com/articles/2006/04/14/meet-marshmallow-the-campfire-bot And it got me to wondering if anyone has heard that 37s will be releasing an API set for Campfire?

Performance experts, Normally to receive e-mails is to pipe their content to script/runner individually from a mail server, sendmail or postfix. Doesn''t this configuration run like Apache 1.3 with CGI, meaning for each e-mail a boot of the entire Rails environment and thus low scalability? Is there anything working like lighttpd-fcgi or going toward its approach? DD -- Posted via

but the model isn''t the right place to send mail from. That just seems like pretty bad coupling, generating emails from within the model. Or is that not a problem? On top of that, these emails need to contain links back to my site...which is a bit of a pain in ActionMailer, but I found directions on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseUrlHelpersWithActionMailer however I
