Hi, I''m running the edge Typo and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin and ferret gems (as of 11 April). In my Content model I put acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body] In the console, I call Content.rebuild_index to index all of my existing content. All the directories get created etc, but I get the following error back: Loading development environment. >>

I have a loop that I iterate through in my view. <% coll.each do |itm| puts(itm.value) end %> How do I render the itm.value without using a <%= %> tag? Should puts not work? Joerg P.S. There is a good enough reason for me wanting to do this :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there a way for me to do: OrderItem.find(:all, :include => [:user, :product => [:supplier]] So I don''t have a supplier_id on my order_item, but have it on my product, which is part of order_item. Joerg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I want to be able to write a script in Ruby which regularly consumes an XML feed from a fixed source, re-formats it, produces a large file for web delivery, and updates a database with the contained information. It''s simple - just running a script from a cron job, and some basic data manipulation... But I''d prefer to use the Rails database mapping constructs than roll my

Hi folks, I have several models that index well in Drb mode. However, I have one scenario where it works in normal mode, but not in Drb mode. model A field :one end model B belongs_to :a field :two delegate :one, :to => :a acts_as_ferret :fields => { :one => {}, :two => {} }, :remote => true end If I leave off the :remote parameter, it works. Or, if I don''t

Is there a way to specify not not use schema.rb but instead using a native sql file to clone structure to the test db? Schema.rb doesn''t really work that well for mediumblobs ... Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to figure out an elegant way to do this: I have the following three tables: people, employer, employees And consequently the following three models: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base end class Employer < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :employees end class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :person belongs_to :employer end I want to be able to say:

If I can get root access, I''ll use version control for deployment as well... It beats ftp and scp hands down for speed. Setting up a repository on a remote server means I get automatic off-site backup as part of the development cycle, and deployment/site update is as simple as a three word command line entry. Small changes on remote test sites can be made with Vim (or your *nix

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 have orders, order_items, and products. I want to collate several orders so that I can get a SUM of quantities ordered for each product etc. Can I say something like (the below gives an error on :sum, and ignores :group) OrderItem.find(:all, :sum => ''quantity'', :group => ''product_id'', :include => [:order, :product]) I want to get back a

Hi, I have a people controller, and want to import bulk import multiple people from a CSV file. In my routes.rb file I have: map.resource :person Now, it''s a little unclear to me how to further configure the routes to allow me to add the following URLs: I need a URL to choose a file to upload, so I need an HTML ''frontend'' for it, so I figured the following URL

I''m about to get hosting for an on-line shop application in the UK. I''m leaning towards Bytemark, as they seem to have the right product range and attitude. Support sound knowledgeable and helpful and they show a marked preference for Debian, which I happen to be fond of. Has anyone tried them? Has anyone had good or bad experiences with other hosting companies

Hi, I am running several applications, and I need them to share their indexed data. So instead of putting my index in the default location of RAILS_ROOT/index/RAILS_ENV I want it to appear in RAILS_ROOT/../index/RAILS_ENV (ie in the parent directory of each of my root directories ... I have three apps working together) In the acts_as_ferret file, I have changed line 73 to: index_base =

Hi, I''ve developed a standalone Rails app - using tar2rubyscript and rubyscript2exe. The users aren''t going to understand that the''ll need to open the browser and go to 127.0.0.1:3000 to view the app, after running the exe. I am wondering whether other people have tackled this problem in the past, and how they went about solving it. One way would be to write a

Hi, I need to download an image, and I''ve mucked about with Net::HTTP resp = Net::HTTP.get_response(''www.mydomain.com'', ''/test.jpg'') f = File.new("test.jpg","w") f.write(response.body) And various other combinations using HTTP.get etc. Anyway, I get an image, but it looks very psychedelic. This is obviously not the correct way.

Anyone know (or know where to point me to) to figure out how to force Rails into development mode? I''d like to not have to kill dispatch.fcgi everytime I make a change. My site is not live and I''m just doing development and testing right now. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The file column plug-in is great, but there is a problem with it. Well, two... But the other is well documented now. :^) Consider a time when you''ve created a CMS for a client and it''s been in use for over a year. Say 1500+ images have been uploaded so far. Now the client comes back with a simple request... ''Can you change the thumbnail size to 80/90, rather than

I think I am missing something terribly obvious. Is it possible to have an :expects parameter for a webservice that is an array of objects? I want to have a single webservice that expects all my line items (for an order). Is this something that is possible? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What is the most elegant way to save new one-many associations? order = Order.new(:name => "My Order") order.line_items << LineItem.new(:product_id => 1, :quantity => 2) order.line_items << LineItem.new(:product_id => 2, :quantity => 5) order.save The above - which is by far the most elegant way of putting it - doesn''t work for me - the line_items
