Hi, Say I have a model Event that has a file_column called ''pdf''. I want to send out emails that contain the URL for the pdf file that''s associated with the Event. I also want to test the emails, so I''d need to be able to get at the URL for the pdf inside my unit tests. I don''t see how I can use url_for_file_column in this situation. Doing <%=

I created some scaffolding for an Address model and an Addresses controller. When running the functional tests for the addresses controller, I get this exception: "NameError: uninitialized constant Addres" The exception seems to start from this function: def list @address_pages, @addresses = paginate :address, :per_page => 10 end I''m guessing pluralization bug?

Ok, so now Users need to be associated with Organizations. I''ve created a migration and added a ''organization_id'' column to the users table. I want the default organization_id to be the first Organization. So I have :default => Organization.find(:first). But it''s complaining about not being able to find the constant ''Organization''. Any

I had to add a check box indicating that a user accepted certain terms to a page. So, I put in a ''validates_acceptance_of :terms'' line into the appropriate model and added a checkbox to my view.

Is the information in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowtoUploadFiles on caching images still the best way on how to cache images that are served from the database?

So, what''s the status of this project? I''m a little confused. The documentation at http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org seems out of date. It refers to http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1, which doesn''t work. All I want is a way to easily set up tasks that should run periodically. Some stuff should run every 10 seconds, some stuff once a day, etc.

For a medium-sized website, does one machine for database server (either mysql or postgres) and another for the web server (lighttpd) sound ok? How much traffic could I expect to handle? (I know it depends on the application, but some rough estimates would be nice) Joe

I also have a bunch of HTML in folders in the application''s public directory. Before a user can view anything in the public directory, I''d like to authenticate them. How could I do that? I''m using mongrel, if it matters. Thanks, Joe

I''m currently caches_page the show method in my Image controller. The show method looks at @params[''id''] to determine what output should be generated. The first time I access the method, say with http://localhost/public/image/show/1.jpg, the appropriate directories get created in /public (i.e. public/image/show/1.jpg). However, when I try to retrieve
