All, I am looking to write an ecommerce application and debating using rails or struts. Any advice as to which path to follow.

OK, I have some basic functionality to support bind variables, it appears to work with the ''old'' %s style too. I''ve altered sanitize_conditions in activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb to check whether bind variables are in the statement (/\?/). If they are, replace all the ?s to escaped values from the arguments array. else santize and expand. There are a few

In java/c++ the method signature provide a good details on which parameters the method accept, but in rails the ability to send hash as parameters make it impossible to know which parameters can be send. This ability make the rails API doc a must to be full of details and not supply partial examples of usage. When for example I see *link_to_remote*(name, options = {}, html_options = {}) I would

Here''s the text of a quick note I''ve added to the Inheritance wiki page. I''m actually proposing that it would be a good idea to drop automatic single table inheritance and force people to declare it explicitly. There are two reasons for this: 1. Implicitly doing it unnecessarially limits your use of inheritance where you really need it: in your object-oriented

I''m working on a RoR project and a requirement has popped up that would required certain actions to happen at certain time intervals (as opposed to having a user initiate the action). Is there anything similar to Java''s Quartz library, *nix cron, or anything of the like for Rails? I''m certainly willing to help with/test Ruby code if someone on the list is already

Hi all, I''m looking into installing Ruby on Rails on my dedicated server which is RH Linux with a traditional PHP/MySQL/Apache configuration. I''m not an expert Linux user, but I can hold my own. My server hosts around 15 domains with websites of various complexity, some shops, some CMS, some completely flat. I''m looking for a tutorial explaining how to install Ruby

I''ve finally started a blog. I really didn''t want to go public with it until I was sure I keep it up, but DHH posted a entry to his blog that I feel compelled to comment on. You can read about it on my blog: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/CurtHibbs Curt

With the big One-Oh on it''s way, I''m thinking we should perhaps start to work on the documentation some more. The RDoc format is perfectly fine, and does its job beautifully, but I think it doesn''t quite reflect the whizbang value that rails has, especially for newcomers. As one who has looked at the api docs almost daily for several months, I feel quite comfortable

Has anyone out there ever created a Rails application to create new Rails applications (with or without a database/persistent storage)?? Basically I am thinking of a Rails application that could create and then edit the files associated with a new Rails application and possibly provide the ability to edit controllers, views, etc. Is there anything out there for doing this? -Mark

Hello- I''m new to the ruby-based schemas and migrations. As I''m looking over examples and such online, I see that many of them don''t make use of schema-enforced attributes. For example, instead of: t.column "post_id", :integer, :default => 0, :null => false They do: t.column "post_id", :integer So I''m wondering -- is this

So apparently 1.8.4 is soon forthcoming. We need testing against it. Could someone help out with that?

Hi to everybody, I''m writing an article about Ruby on Rails and I need to gather some information about the project and the community of core developers. In particular I''d like to know something about the organization of the project (how are decisions taken, who decides what goes into the project, conflict resolution, contributions acceptance...) and something more technical

Well, my entry for the 24-hour Rails Day competition is here: http://yubnub.org . It''s a web app called YubNub that implements the grandiose idea of a "command line for the Web OS".

Hi, I''m developing an application where I''ll have to store a lot of images coming from the users. And I''m still not sure if I should store them in MySQl as blob or just store them on filesystem. If I store them on filesystem, how to scale when I''ll have to have multiple servers ? Thanks, Pratik -- rm -rf / 2>/dev/null - http://null.in

find_by_sql BREAKS THE OOP BEAUTY and perhaps we can solve that. NAMING CONVENTIONS can perhaps make find_by_sql much more clever. lets imagine that relation: publishers <- books <-> authors_books <-> authors -> universities (can''t find something else than university for that last association :) ) imagine we want to fetch every book and every associated

Hey, folks. Mainly, I''m looking for some guidance here. A couple months ago the buzz around Rails become too much for me, and I finally decided to give in and learn the framework. This was all very new to me -- most of my focus in the past couple years has been solely in design with static XHTML + CSS. I dabbled in PHP, but nothing significant. Well, I love Rails, and it

Rails 1.1 was a big upgrade with a lot of new features and we''ve been working hard since its release to polish off the kinks revealed after it was deployed to the masses. Rails 1.1.1 contains fixes for things like Prototype memory leaks in IE 6, Oracle adapter runnings, and a number of compatibility tweaks to make most older applications work. This release still doesn''t work
