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?

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 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?

Yo Zed and everyone else, I''m having a major problem I''m hoping someone can help with. I''ve been running mongrel clusters for a few months with no problems on a couple of my boxes.

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

Hello world... I have an interesting issue that the online docs aren''t helping me with. In my app I have 4 models Item < ActiveRecord Deal < Item Product < Item Category < ActiveRecord Item has_and_belongs_to_many :categories...

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?
