I got a Powerbook recently and am debating buying TextMate. I installed the trial and have checked it out, but don''t see what''s so great about it. AFAICS it''s the Ruby and Rails macros for expansion and other stuff that might be it. Other than that, TextMate seems like a pretty basic editor. I currently use PSPad and Editplus, and I could probably get/make macros

Hello everybody, I''m a new member on Ruby on Rails. I''m friendly on using Microsoft Visual Studio (VS) IDE. The VS IDE supports for Intellisense coding (that mean it will automatically display a list of member variables or functions for a class, struct, union, or namespace; the names and types of parameters required by a function or attribute; and the complete declaration for

Hello, First and foremost sorry for off topic message, but I thought maybe you smart guys can help me to decide about purchasing a MacBook or not.

Hi there I am just writing to find out if anyone else had an issue installing CentOS 5 on an inspiron notebook.

After developing in Java for years in IDEs I''m starving for a decent ruby debugger. When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime. Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it''s excruciating to wait minutes for the default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally take seconds to

I was wondering if there are any IDEs out there that has autocomplete features for win32. It would be perfect if it could do something akin to what DHH is doing on the screencast hosted on the rails website. http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Some months ago, a person from Packt Publishing posted a message in this list looking for potential Authors/Reviewers for new Ruby on Rails books. Now I''m proud to announce my book [1] "Aptana RadRails: An IDE for Rails Development". If you are using [2] Aptana RadRails, or if you are looking for an IDE and you still haven''t decided which one to use, you might

Hey gang, How does STI work with HABTM? For instance...let''s say I have the following models ----- Category < ActiveRecord::Base Item < ActiveRecord::Base Product < Item Deal < Item ----- Each product or deal can have categories. Would I then setup Item with has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, then create a table categories_items ??? Is there a better way to do it?

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/... During my deployment script I chmod -R that directory and everything in it to make sure www-data (the apache user/group) has access to it. In development mode on my Macbook I can upload

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

I posted this to comp.lang.ruby and comp.lang.smalltalk, and my blog. I will likely get destroyed, but it will be worth it if at least one nugget of information helps the Ruby IDE makers. ----------------------------------------- Hi all -- I shout my question to the entire Ruby + Smalltalk community: Smalltalk has had amazing IDEs for decades, why not Ruby? Smalltalkers, Ruby needs your help!

I haven''t cracked the source of file_column just yet - but has anyone worked out a way to snag images via URL instead of a file upload? Optimally I''d like to have my clients be able to upload a file, or enter in a URL to store as file on the system. Any/all help would be cool. -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

I''m pinging the list to see if anyone is working on an open-source e-commerce engine based on Rails yet - something like OSCommerice I guess. Anyone? Is there interest out there for such a thing?

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part
