I have multiple models that need to have their history kept pretty much indefinitely or at least a very long time. The application I would keep track of daily attendance statistics for people in different organizations, and a couple of other similar associations.

What I am trying to achieve is when creating a new widget, I get a form listing all the potential parts and a field where I can enter the value.

Rather than using the latest Rails gem for my application, I like to have the code local in my own git repository, which means putting it in vendor/rails. There are a couple of ways of doing this: downloading the source for the particular branch/tag I want to run and committing it to my repository, or using git submodules. Submodule...

I think there are a lot of places where my design may be screwing this up. I have very limited experience with Rails though. This is happening in Rails 2.3.2 with Postgres 8.3. We've got two tables in our DB. One called "survey" and one called "survey_timepoint". A survey can have multiple time points so in the survey_timepoint tabl...
I use before_filter :login_required on a controller, and everything behaves as it should - a user who isn't logged in is bumped to sessions/new. But given that I'm doing this on the root url, I'd like to avoid having an actual redirect (to not show /sessions/new) in the user's browser bar. How would I tweak? ...
I've deployed a Ruby on Rails application using mod_rails and nginx over Capistrano, and it's working perfectly, but I have a baffling problem. When I run the following command on the server: SHOW TABLES IN application_production; MySQL returns: Empty set (0.00 sec) I know that information is being written to the database because ...
I've been struggling with an issue with ActiveResource for a bit now: when a hostname resolves for an ActiveResource request, but there's no server on the other end to return information, ActiveResource's timeout value doesn't work. The request just hangs. After reviewing the ActiveResource code, I've realized that this is because the u...

In my rails application, I have a background process runner, model name Worker, that checks for new tasks to run every 10 seconds. This check generates two SQL queries each time - one to look for new jobs, one to delete old completed ones. The problem with this - the main log file gets spammed for each of those queries. Can I direct t...

Hi, I'm trying to migrate to nginx from Apache using Passenger in both instances to host a Rails app. The app takes a request, which is for an image- if the image exists at /system/logos/$requestedimage then it should get served, or it should be allowed to hit the Rails app to generate it if needed (where it is then cached to /system/lo...
