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

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

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? --

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

I was doing some research about creating thumbnail images on the fly after an image has been uploaded in a form, but for some reason it''s not working for me. I''ve downloaded ImageMagick 6.2.5 for Mac but when I run a test (identify image.gif) it gives me this error: dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib Referenced from: /Developer/ImageMagick-6.2.5/bin/identify

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

I am unable to get ActiveRecord session support to work under 2.x against a SQL Server database. I''m starting to wonder if anyone is running 2.x against SQL Server?

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

hi all, I can blab, but here is a sample of my /var/log/apache2/error.log, it has all the info: any ideas what I can do prevent 500s from hitting my users?

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 seen some basic examples of using Mocha and Stubba with ActiveRecord Models; However, the ones I read were somewhat simplistic. That is they stubbed the find class method of the model, or the execute method of the connection object. While stubbing the find method had the desired effect for the author it did not help with a situation I was hacking away on. Which was writing a test case

Hi, When we update a record via an update form, is there an easy way to find out the fields that have been changed. If the update is successful, i want to display: The following fields have been changed: field-name = new-value ... Thanks, Lantis. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all I want users to register on my page. To register, they only have to deliver an email and a password. Then a link with an activation token will be sent to them, and after clicking the link the user sees a page where he should fill in further details, means: a username. My model looks like this: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :username, :if =>

Hi, after some experience with Rails on MySQL databases I gave it a try on one of our larger Oracle database. I was facing a problem when Rails tried to detect the columns for a model/table. The appropriate statement ran about 1 min which led to a timeout. Our Oracle guru told me to analyze the SYSTEM schema. After that hadn''t helped, he said the only remaining chance is to use a

I''m just looking into how to connect to Oracle using Rails. I''ve got everything connecting and working as it should.

Is there a built-in way to determine if a model object has just been created (ie. this object was the one that was originally persisted)? I can''t see it anywhere in the AR code, but thought I''d check. I want something like: p = Person.create p.original_instance? # true Is this built-in or should I just patch AR? -Jonathan.

(Donning flameproof suit) Am I the only person who thinks that the Ruby forum software sucks? E.g. search only for a word. Can''t search for new posts, can''t search by date, topic list doesn''t indicate when I''ve already read a post, there can be several independent replies to a topic, just to name a few. There are lots (admittedly not Ruby based) of good

I have some legacy tables that I used set_table_name on, I''m attempting to write a method that will get key value from a sequence table and then update it and return a value.
