similar to: Ruby at O''Reilly Rough Cuts

Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

Hi Raileans, I''m wondering if there''s any way to get a list of all of the valid controllers in my application. Specifically, I''m doing some funny dynamic stuff in my routes.rb and wanted to make sure that valid controllers will always get mapped while things that are not controllers will go to my other map. I think it would look something like this in my mind''s

Just wanted to drop a note about a new Rails site that we''re testing in the wild, http://www.vegaslists.com. The site allows users to create lists about anything Las Vegas related and then lets other users comment on those lists. It was a project that went from concept to completed in about 2 weeks, working on it after the ''real job'' for fun. It''s very simple

Is it will known and accepted that before_save triggers should return true? I didn''t notice this before but now I see it in the documentation. Here is what I''m doing in my model: def before_save if self.has_album? self.visible = self.album.visible? end end That results in the expected result when album.visible? is true - but not when it is false. To make it

Is anyone using ActiveMerchant currently? I''ve seen it recommended on this list several times, but it seems kind of buggy and incomplete and I''m having trouble getting it to work. >From the example at http://home.leetsoft.com/am/, I''ve tried: gateway = ActiveMerchant::Base.gateway(:authorized_net) response = gateway.capture(1000, creditcard) ..but it

Subject says it all. Anybody taken a look yet? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/railsckbk/?CMP=ILC-GG7423313304&ATT=railsckbk After buying the Ruby Cookbook and the other Rails book, I''m pretty gunshy about another Rough Cuts purchase. Sean

Hello, Using this tool on a Samba 4.1.16 forest I get the following two errors. DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local NamingContext 1 Failed Discovery: Property 'msds-sdreferencedomain' does not exist.

although basically hopeful of the company''s ''rough cuts'' venture, i am insulted by the fact that o''reilly''s safari service offers important material to its regular subscribers only if they pay extra for it. o''reilly''s material on ajax is a good example: all of the introductory coverage is available only as pricey ''rough

I''m struggling with activerecord and mysql blobs (uploading files)... blobs over 400K-ish cause the below exception... ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in File#upload Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: I''ve tried blob, mediumblob, and longblob... I''m using windows xp for development - and have not installed the mysql gem... simlar google

It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

Hi all - just a quick one - Ive been reading through a lot of these posts and notice a lot of people looking for resouces ie Tutorials etc, well I have recently signed up for the new Rubyforums.co.uk which promises to be a great source of info for us all, they already have some neat stuff on there which I have used myself and am very happy with so i just thought it the good thing to do by

i guess its better form to keep form tags outside of table tags anyways, but it took a lot of trial and error to figure out thats why @params were no longer showing up after switching form_tag to form_remote_tag. not sure if this is a prototype ''bug'' or ''feature'' or what. but my next step was to switch to a seperate form tag for each row to reduce needless

Hi, First, some software versions, just to get them out of the way: - CentOS 5.x through Centos 6.2 - Ruby 1.8.5 - 1.8.7 - Puppet 2.7.19 - Facter 1.6.11 Just a note - we''re working from the EPEL repos almost exclusively. I am working with the firewall module, and so far I am unable to use firewallchain. Some digging suggests that it''s not completely user error (though I

Hi all, Sorry if I should be posting this elsewhere--I couldn''t find an Instiki specific mailing list, but the Instiki site is down. I wanted to mention that my friend Tim Lauer and I are going to be doing a short "high order bit" talk at the O''Reilly Emerging Technologies conference, describing a particular use of Instiki which we came up with:

Anybody seen it yet?

If this was already posted here, my apologies. As a long time Perl hack (cough, cough) and now RoR convert, I''m thrilled to see other groups getting involved for the exposure. Aren''t you? Let''s fill up the comments and show we''re alive! http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/ Ok, well I haven''t posted anything yet but hey my coffee cup fell dry ;o) -r

I''ve just been bodyslammed by a problem with has_and_belongs_to_many - as far as I can tell, if it doesn''t appear at the top of other relationship definitions it doesn''t seem to work right. For example: class Artist < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :genres has_many :albums has_many :videos has_many :cds has_many :collections end ..works fine

I''ve got a block of code that''s turning out.. well - just plain ugly. So i know I must not be doing it the Ruby way. The main problem I''m having is in dealing with handling errors - and just not finding much Rails documentation that gives a deeper understanding of how to handle errors in Rails (outside of several docs on the catch-all''s) the main method
