Random question: I''ve written a method for the String class that turns an arbitrary line of text in to an identifier, e.g.: "My, what a beautiful day!" => "my_what_a_beautiful_day" "(anb*#NF(AMNV" => "anb_NF_AMNV" We''ve got all these great names already like underscore, classify, titleize and things like that.

Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that includes a Family News section, and an Address Book. Currently, there is no documentation on installing the Rails application itself (hence the 0.9 version number).

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at

Here?s a small plugin that may be useful for documenting your database. Based on Dave Thomas?s AnnotateModels plugin, this plugin goes one step further and allows you to store comments on each column in the database (MySQL only).

Just thought I''d announce this on the Rails list since I know several of you use Textmate: there''s a new feature I''m calling "Multiple Arbitrary Simultaneous Carets" or MASC for short, which is available in my personal TM bundle. It''s been handy enough for me that I thought others might enjoy it.

I was talking to a friend of mine who''s developing PHP on trax and we came up with a solution to the ruby session file problem. I''m not sure if this idea has come up before, so I wanted to run it by everyone before making any code contributations and/or talking to the Rails core about it. It seems to me that the current situation we''re in with regard to

Hi all. I am trying to populate a dropdown based on two values. def self.clientref( reference ) @bugclientrefs = self.find_all(["bug_id = ?", reference]).collect {|b| [ b.client_id.strip << " - " << b.client_ref.strip ]} end This works fine. However this returns the reference to the client. I want the full name using this function. class Bugclient <

Hello Railers, At the beginning of this year, I announced Family Connection, an open source, free, and easy-to-use family website built using our darling web app framework, Ruby on Rails. Now it?s available as a hosted, very easy-to-set-up web app called Family Anywhere! It has the same Family News and Address Book features as the original, plus a new Photo Album that lets you browse

I am being barraged with Ruby, Rails and Rich Internet application work right now. Almost enough that I could quit the day job and make a go of it, forgetting about Java altogether. Places in the greater Miami area are turning on to Rails and Ruby -- much of it fueled by the stronger voices in the local Java community. Am I alone in this, or do many of you see absolutely explosive growth in Ruby,

I have a wizard which consists of two pages. To keep it simple let''s say that the first page asks the user to select a state from the drop down menu. In case the user doesn''t select any state, an error message needs to be displayed. Ideally I would like to do something like this. def new selected_value = params[:addevent][:state_id] if selected_value == "-1"

Hi. I am faced with a problem that has been described in other emails. The proposed solutions don''t work for me, and as I am stuck with it now for several hours, I ask here. I am running RoR 1.0 and Ruby 1.8.2 on SuSE Linux 10.1 and WEBrick 1.3.1 and following the tutorials in Agile Dev. With RoR. Since a few changes all my requests return Http 500 Internal Server Errors. The logs

This has been such a fun project.

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

Original announcement at http://blog.inquirylabs.com/ [1] == What is bundled_resource? == If your development is in any way similar to mine, there are a number of useful resources out there that make web applications shine beautifully. For example, there?s the Dynarch calendar and the textarea tools. There are a number of others?too many, in fact. The problem is that as a web developer,

In the Agile Rails book, on page 232 (PDF, 4th edition) there is an example of (within ActiveRecord) marking an article as read by a user at the present time. Short example code (from the book) here: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :articles def read_article(article) articles.push_with_attributes(article, :read_at => Time.now) end # ... end
