I could write this function but, I sure it a...

This is probably a silly question but if you use ActiveMerchant (or spree), do the creators of ActiveMerchant (or spree) take a commission? Since it's open source I wouldn't expect them to. But at the same time, because it's such a large undertaking to create a processing gateway, it would not surprise me if they wanted some compensation...

I find myself repeatedly looking for a clear definition of the differences of nil?, blank?, and empty? in Ruby on Rails. Here's the closest I've come: blank? objects are false, empty, or a whitespace string. For example, "", " ", nil, [], and {} are blank. nil? objects are instances of NilClass. empty? objects are class-specific, and...

I am working on re-writing my application based on things that I learned at RailsConf 2009. I understand that the Model, Controller and View relate to each other. However, one thing that I have struggled with is the "proper" level for a controller. If the Rails Model maps (roughly) to a database table... And if the Rails View maps (roug...
I have a Ruby on Rails page to edit a users profile. The form displays the user name and email correctly.
