Yesterday I got the beta version of ROR recipes book and the recipes are great. For those of you still thinking about it, I highly recommend the book. The only thing I wish is that if there were some more recipes (greedy me), especially AJAX related and installing an application within your current application. For instance, it will be great to see how one can implement the typo blog

Hi, We want to display on a small LCD screen next to our meeting rooms and optionally let people book the room from the panel. We looked at different providers and those solutions either works with Exchange or Lotus Notes... Since I already have code to fetch events from any CalDAV/WebDSV servers, I'm looking at building the system myself. So I'm wondering if any of you can recommend

Hi, I''m working on the first rails recipe, InPlaceEditing, and following the instructions very carefully.

Heyo! I am setting up a self-referencial habtm relationship with the users of my app. I am using Chad Fowler''s "Rails Recipes" to get me started, and everything works great with the join table "people_friends". I add friends by doing somebody.friends << somebodyelse. However, with my app, there is an approval process so my join table has columns person_id,

My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models. I could use STI, but I think the table would just have too many columns. Now, I wanted to let the Dog''s, Whale''s

I am using the SaltedHashLoginGenerator. and would like to send the e-mail in multipart/alternative format. By default my application is using forgot_password_en.rhtml template. I read in the ROR Recipes book "ActionMailer sees these templates, recognizes the pattern in their file names, and automatically sets the MIME type of the message to multipart/alternative and adds

So I''ve sort of come to the conclusion that if I wanna get stuff done, I need to either A) Find some dang money and pay people to do it or B) Do it myself. I''m opting for B. Soooo...now I''ve got some programming/technologies to learn. I''m self-employed and I can afford to take a month (or 2) off to totally immerse myself in this and learn how to do it.

My main layout includes separate content_for/yield sections for my header, sidebar, footer, and content. However, when running a view spec, the `rendered` variable seems to only contain a string of just the primary content and ignores the header/footer/sidebar as well as the rest of my layout file (the "render" call just returns my primary content wrapped in generic <html> and

I have the rails recipes book and i was going through the migrations recipe. Everything seemed to work except for the last part in trying to do a rake migrate with a migration file version 1 and the schema_info version set to 0. Without the force attribute, the rake migration fails, as expected. So the recipe says to run this: ruby script/runner

I''m delighted to announce that Chad Fowler''s new book, Rails Recipes, is now available as a Beta Book. This is a great title for folks who know Rails, and for folks who want to get the most out of Rails. It contains detailed recipes for doing real-world things with Rails, all illustrated with working code. Some examples are drawn from Rails 1.1, the rest from Rails 1.0.

I''m an RJS newbie. I just did the tutorial at http://www.codyfauser.com/articles/2005/11/20/rails-rjs-templates, and then used wget to look at the output the RJS template generates. This is what I got: try { new Insertion.Bottom("list", "<li>Fox</li>"); new Effect.Highlight("list",{duration:1}); Element.update("header", "RJS

Okay, I see this instance variable places, but I can not determine if it is real or where the content comes from. I''ve tried views/<controller>/sidebar.rhtml, _sidebar.rhtml, views/layouts/sidebar.rhtml and views/layouts/_sidebar.rhtml. Does this actually exist? What''s the Rails Way to make a good sidebar? http://www.google.com/search?q=content_for_sidebar Thanks,

Hi, this is my first post to the list. I''m still learning the rails framework, having done most of my previous web development in PHP. I''ve done a bit of googling for the answer to this question, but maybe I''m just lacking the right word to search for. Several parts of my site, such as sidebar components, are self-contained, modularized and re-used in several parts

Hi, I have absolutely no web programming experience (know basic html and have some ancient c++ experience) and am interested in learning Ruby on Rails to get me going quickly. What''s the best way to approach learning rails for an absolute newbie? I''ve looked through the tutorials available through the Ruby on Rails site, and even these are just beyond my level.
