Hi, I just signed up so ''hello everybody''. As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was an easy way to specify that I want all actions/controls to be based upon a particular parameter rather than :id (in this case :unique_name). I don''t :id to appear in URLs or elsewhere, I want it all to work from :unique_name. It seems like something that I should be able to

Hi, I''ve been prying my way around form helpers and I need to do something very similar to date_select.

Hi, I''ve trawled the docs and the wiki, and I''m wondering if it''s possible to set an option globally on a helper (within a given controller) (DateHelper in theis instance).

Does anyone know if it''s possible to set constraints to the size & type of file that file_column will accept? I''d like to limit to image files of less than 2MB.

Hi there, I''m trying to create a worker to do some asynchronous web client work and update the data model with its results. It seems, however, that every call I make to an ActiveRecord subclass causes the whole thing to block. At least I think it''s blocked. Right now I''m just using debug log output. Is there a decent way to debug/test workers I can try? Is there any

We have a Linux file server for a set of computer science and engineering labs where each lab contains machines running Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux, or some incarnation of Windows. At times the these machines become almost unusable and I think I have narrowed the problem to smbd processes soaking up all the CPU on the server. Running 'top' on the server reveals a dozen or so entries like

Hi, I''m using the basic magick features of file_column, and while files are uploading fine without the magick options, as soon as I do something like :magick => { :size => "400x600" } I get an ''invalid file'' error. Further investigation reveals that the file is in fact invalid because something somewhere is truncating the file path:
