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

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? --

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

This more of a best practices question. I''m implementing group functionality in a couple of applications. The typical method, using HABTM, where you create a group and add members, is typical. For example, Users, Groups and Messages. Does anyone prefer tagging instead? Any advice would be great! -- Lon Baker http://www.speedymac.com AIM: spdemac

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

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

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

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

Other than doing a raw SQL update the only way to update join attributes is to remove an object and then push_with_attributes correct? -- Lon

Hi, I am using the package ncdf to create netCDF files and I want to mimic the the header of an exiting netCDF file created outside of R. Below is what the existing header looks like (part of it that is different): netcdf ccd1984_05_08 { dimensions: lat = 1974 ; lon = 1894 ; time = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently) variables: int time(time) ;

Down here in South America, you can imagine we have to deal with this problem of character encoding all the time. It is not that UTF-8 is better than ISO-8859-1, or vice-versa, any more than French is better than Spanish. UTF-8 is more like an English, which is spoken (for better or worse) as the lengua franca most anyplace, while ISO-8859-1 is Latin specific (can''t handle Chinese).

CocoaMySQL is definitely the way to go. Great app. Unfortunately, it''s somewhat complicated to find the correct version to use. Make sure you get version CocoaMySQL v0.7b2 based on official SMySQL framework (http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/beta.php). the current stable version 0.5 does not work with MySQL4.1., the latest beta does (however, no support for new new password
