I currently have a fairly simple Rails application running on FreeBSD under Apache 1.3 and normal CGI, and the performance I''m getting is alarmingly poor. I realize CGI or WebBrick are quite a bit slower than FastCGI, and I''ll probably use one of those instead when I have the time. However, I''m just curious if CGI is really supposed to be that slow, or if

All, My initial list is rather busy. I would like to shorten the created_on and updated_on fields to just display the date, not the time. Best wold be a simple 12/28/05 type of presentation. I''ve found the format helpers in rdoc. (ie. distance_of_time_in_words_to_now ), but none seem to be what I''m looking for. How do I control the date format of a timestamp field? Thanks

I''m trying to create a paginated list that will take note of the "end_date" field in my table. This is what I have: @post_pages, @posts = paginate(:posts, :per_page => 10, :order_by => ''end_date'') in the controller. And for the view: <h1>Posts ending soon</h1> <ul><% for post in @posts do %> <strong>Post Title:

In my view code, I have <%= datetime_select "in_out", "time_in" %> which returns in params :in_out: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess time_in(1i): "2006" time_in(2i): "6" time_in(3i): "12" time_in(4i): "20" time_in(5i): "24" and I want to save that datetime to a column in the db... if

Hello, I was wondering if there was a method in Rails that returns the sum of a column. For example, I have a column called ''score'' and writing a SQL statement such a ''select sum(score) from table_name'' does return the sum of the values in the column. In the past (not too long ago being a newbie), I defined all sorts of methods only to discover that Rails

I abandoned ruby way for find_by_sql and still can''t get this... @myplacement = Placement.find_by_sql( "select * from placement where :intake_date >= beg_intake_date and :intake_date <= end_intake_date") just a simple date range...it''s killing me - If I knew how to load placement controller into irb, I could probably try out finds interactive mode... Thanks

I''ve been hacking on this for awhile and am not even getting close. Consider the following... results = Sample.find(:all) total_counter = results.each{|result| #Add together result.counter} I just want to simply iterate through the list and sum the counter field for each row into an aggregation. I could do it in a full for loop, but is there a nice one liner I''m missing?

I was at http://rails.techno-weenie.net/ and I like what ajax does when you click on "login" how can I do this on my own website? Is this with the defualt JS libary? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want to have a form to change a users password. I can''t figure out what the method in the controller should look like. I tried @user.save and @user.update_attributes, but can''t get it to work.

Hi, I dumped the schema using rake db_schema_dump. Now how do I create a migration containing all the data I have in my dev db ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel

Hi! I have a rails action controller method which takes long time to complete. After about 4-5 minutes running, I get a "execution expired" error which stops this method''s execution. I looked and looked, searched and searched, but could not find how to configure my ActionController''s timeout to be greater than the default. Could anyone help? -- Posted via

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

After drawing many virtual blank stares in the IRC channel and finding zero results on the wiki for ''sweeper'' I''m left to wonder whether these are actually officially supported, or are on their way toward being deprecated.

I have two models, Stop and Station, they relate one station to many stops. Stop has_one :station Station belongs_to :stop So I can do @station.stops, but I cant do @stop.station, is this right? For example in the view I have: <% for @stop in @stops %> <tr> <td><%= @stop.station.name %></td> <td><%= @stop.time.hour.to_s + '':''
