If I pass it as a param, it gets converted string and I can't seem ...
I'm working with models analogous to the following: class Owner < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :owned end class Owned < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :owner end You can presume that owned_id and owner_id are in the right places.

For example, I have a simple address book app that uses basic CRUD operations. I am a RoR beginner but wanted to build an app without scaffolding and t...

I read from some books that Phusion Passenger is the answer to easy Ruby on Rails deployment. But my friend said that first there was Apache + bunch of Mongrels, and then lighttpd, and then nginx, and now Passenger, and it seems endless... he also said he uses dreamhost which uses Passenger, and sometimes he sees his request not being ...

But something that bothers me is that when I'm editing an RHTML or ERB file, it doesn't do the code autocomplete - or at least not reliably. Sometimes it shows the appropriate variables and methods that are available on an object after you type th...
