I have been using browsercam.com for CSS testing, but it is rather expensive. Recently, I discovered others using funadable.org to purchase a yearly membership as a group. A year long membership at browsercam.com costs $480.00. This gives us 25 user accounts. I am proposing that 25 people throw in $19.20 for their 1/25th share of the membership cost. Once I have raised $479.40 I will

Other than doing a raw SQL update the only way to update join attributes is to remove an object and then push_with_attributes correct? -- Lon

I am having a devil of a time with some runner actions. I can not seem to call any instance methods on found records. Even when I strip is down to the basics: def self.deliver self.find(:all, :conditions => ["#{Message.table_name}.status = ?", ''pending''], :include => [:site, :template]).each {|m| logger.info m.is_recurring? # my method logger.info

Awhile ago, I posted some information about SMS Aggregators, this is just a follow-up, based on changes in the US market. As of January 31st, any commercial application, sending to US networks, is required to lease a CSC (short code) from CTIA. A CSC runs $6000/year for a random code, and $12,000/year for a vanity code. These charges are on top of the normal per message fees. This does

This more of a best practices question. I''m implementing group functionality in a couple of applications. The typical method, using HABTM, where you create a group and add members, is typical. For example, Users, Groups and Messages. Does anyone prefer tagging instead? Any advice would be great! -- Lon Baker http://www.speedymac.com AIM: spdemac

Would "am" and "pm" be convenient and useful methods that Rails should stick on top of the Numeric class? So instead of calling Time.parse("23:30") to get a Time object at 11:30 PM, you could do 1130.pm instead. Just trying to get an opinion before I create a patch, unit tests, etc and try and convince someone to notice :) Here are the methods if anyone wants to

I was doing some research about creating thumbnail images on the fly after an image has been uploaded in a form, but for some reason it''s not working for me. I''ve downloaded ImageMagick 6.2.5 for Mac but when I run a test (identify image.gif) it gives me this error: dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib Referenced from: /Developer/ImageMagick-6.2.5/bin/identify

I have an e-commerce site and users check out with a form. The results of that form are sent to a "confirm your order" page via POST. I take great pains to NEVER store the full credit card number on my server--just the last 4 digits. I was very surprised to find that by default Rails will record POST requests with parameters in the production.log. And those parameters

hi all, I can blab, but here is a sample of my /var/log/apache2/error.log, it has all the info: any ideas what I can do prevent 500s from hitting my users?

I am attempting to use find_or_create on a foreign table with a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship with my current table.

My web server has a list of users, and each of them has a collection of books. I want to save some certain number of books for each user, including the book''s name, author, and display the information for the user. Which method should I use to store the subject information into each user subject? Do I have to create arrays to store it? Thanks for help! -- Posted via

I was able to create a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship for my app, but now I''m not too sure how to write queries for it. Basically, I have a table ''courses'' that has_and_belongs_to_many ''categories'' and vice versa So I''m trying to figure out how I would find only the courses that belong to a category that I specify. Let''s

Hi folks, I''m wondering if it''s possible to use foreign key constraints on the join tables of a has_and_belongs_to_many relation. Specifically, I get this error when I try and delete a model I''m using, named saved_search, which is many-to-many with neighborhoods. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. :-) -Eric Code: @saved_search.destroy Error: Mupdate or delete on

Say I have a post model that has_and_belongs_to_many :categories, and a category model that has_and_belongs_to_many :posts. So I have a categories_posts table to do the join. That''s all find and dandy. However I want to be able to find all the posts that belong to a specific category. I tried Post.find_by_category(:id) but that doesn''t work. Does anyone have any insight?

I know there have been threads on this before but I was thinking shouldn''t multiple collection_select automatically update habtm relations when you update_attributes? In order to get multiple collection_select to work I use: collection_select(:user, :group_ids, Group.find(:all), :id, :name,{},{:multiple=>'''',:name=>''group[id][]''}) In fact if I
