I have a simple question when to the synchronize method in the Mutex class. Now that backgroundrb has allow_concurrency = true there is no need to synchronize database calls in threads.

Model.find some_id #in the background process As far as my background process is concerned passing the object is not any different than passing the id and using the find method? Because

I''ve seen this come up a few times before on this list but never felt it got a satisfactory answer. What is the best way to execute timed actions? Examples include sending an email each week, calculating interest each day, or cleaning up your database or server files. This wiki page has some ideas, but these seem a bit extreme.

Hi, Is there a way to call a controller/action pair from another controller as well as render the view for that pair? I have tried using "render ''ctrl/action''" and that works, but the controller code isn''t called (only the view is rendered). A redirect_to isn''t desirable either as I want the resulting content to be rendered in the current

Cheers, I''ve stumbled over a bug with 1.0 and ActiveRecord store for session while migrating from pstore sessions.

Maybe I''m missing the point? Lets take for example albums of pictures. If I have a scaffold for each, and I''m showing an album, what if I want to list all of the pictures that are in the album? Surely, I''d want to call the List action in the picture controller. render_component would do this perfectly. But we''re told not to use render_component. So
