I''m trying to create an application that interfaces with the metaweblog API of a remote blog. I''ve installed a nifty little ruby module called "blog/client" and have it connecting, and then pulling posts from a blog via the metaweblog API if I put all the code into my controller. Now, I wanted to try and put the code into a model so that I can create a new connection

Hi, Thought I''d reply on the Webgen list, hope that''s okay. I''m gradually putting together my personal website with Webgen when I get time to do it properly (not got much beyond planning yet though) but I did have a couple of things on my wish-list already ;) On Tue, 13 Dec 2005 12:50:08 -0000, Thomas Leitner <thomas_leitner at gmx.at> wrote [in

Hello, I''m creating my own Tumblr [tumblr.com] like rails app. It''s like a blog, but in this case a blog post could be of a certain type, i.e. a regular post, a video, a link, a photo, a song(info). Well now, it''s clear that they share a lot of similar functionality: title, created_at/updated_at, commentable, probably has an author_id, etc.. But besides that they are

Hello, I built ovirt this morning and ovirt web interface does not work anymore. I am able to login but only dashboard and networks are visible... no default hardware pool is visible. On /var/log/httpd/error.log I read: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:212:in `log': PGError: ERROR: relation "pools" does not

Happy RailsDay! While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out some of the docs I''ll never write anyway. I also took the time to apply some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects in Mongrel. Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are: *

Hi, I''m putting the finishing touches on a multi-lingual application, and just posted a blog entry on how I did translate validation errors generated by ActiveRecord at: http://www.myowndb.com/blog/?p=4 I found it surprisingly easy, and thought I''d document it. The translation is based on a plugin I plan to publish really really soon, more info whith the upcoming announcement.

I''m using ActionWebService to allow users to upload files to my rails app. I do this by encoding to Base64. The problem with this is that rails logs the file data so my log file size spirals out of control. Is there any way to selectively disable logging when the web api is invoked? ActiveRecord::Base.silence doesn''t seem too useful here as it''s only called AFTER

File.open in core Ruby is nifty, in that it automagically closes the file when you''re done using/manipulating it. I''m wondering whether there''s something like that for ActiveRecord? So you can do: AR.find(23).open {|ar| ar.foo = ''bar'' ... } And ar.save would be called when the block closes. -- -Alder

Ok so DHH in the release post for Rails 2 talked about how there was clearly a side taken in the SOAP vs REST debate, and REST had one. So what does that mean if one is wanting to create a small blogging engine with Rails 2, and want''s to use an external blogging application to connect with it? Before it looked as if the Blogger API and MetaWeblog API were two ways of going

My models are: class Event < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :location class Location < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :event The view: ... <%= datetime_select ''event'', ''meet_at'', :start_year => 2006 %></p> <%= collection_select(:event, :location, @locations, :id, :name) %> .. The problem is that in the controller, when I

I''ve seen a bunch of posts in various place about whether or not mongrel needs to lock when doing activerecord queries. I''m talking outside the context of rails here, for example, in a custom mongrel handler. It seems to work fine for me without a lock, but I haven''t done any extensive testing. When I ask around, some people say you need that mutex lock with

Hello, Just wondering why I am unable to run this in parallel. A dput of my dataset is attached at the end. Please use to create my data object. I want to run this function in parallel (not sure if this is an efficient implementation): #Function to calculate the time to maturity for the option require(fCalendar,quietly=TRUE) #Trying to calculate the trading days

I have finally decided to look into testing and I am going through the examples in the AWDWR book and I tried the following and it does not work... even though I don''t see why it shouldn''t. =========== posts.yml =========== basic_post: id: 1 title: Title body: Body created_at: 2006-02-01 00:00:00 updated_at: 2006_02-02 00:00:00

Hi folks, I am running an offline Rails app that periodically connects to the Internet to download the latest catalogue, and upload any new orders. I am about to implement the synching bit - and was thinking whether there is any other solution other than writing webservices and code to do a manual sync of the data, or whether there is a more nifty and robust way using say replication?

I''m trying to figure out how I can setup my own forums using Ruby, but I can''t get passed installing "nifty-generators"... I haven''t a clue how to install the gems... Please tell me what I''m doing wrong? I open the command prompt, I type in : gem install nifty-generators And this is what I get: Successfully installed nifty-generators-0.4.6 1 gem

I am trying to code a Web Service in rails that can handle file uploads. Now as i read, SOAP 1.1 doesn''t support this yet..so i will have to use SOAP4R, right? This is fine from server side...but will this API will be compatible to .NET clients, which will be using standard SOAP API perhaps. Any idea, whats the way to go here?
