I've written my own middleware to provide an API endpoint to our application. The middleware loads classes that provide the API methods, and routes the request to the appropriate class/method. The classes are loaded dynamically through String#constantize. While running in development mode, the classes are automatically reloaded. However...
Does anyone know how i can use BST for config.time_zone in my rails config/environment.rb file? At the moment i have left it as UTC and i'm thinking of adding BST to the list of supported timezones, and then extending the Time class to respect this (> last sunday of X month + 1hr) Where can i find the list of supported timezones?

My Rails application has a number of tasks which are offloaded into background processes, such as image resizing and uploading to S3. I'm using delayed_job to manage these processes. These processes, particularly thumbnailing PDFs (using Ghostscript) and resizing images (using ImageMagick), are CPU intensive and often consume 100% CPU ...
I am trying to pass a session_id in a URL with Rails (2.3.1). The passing of the id is working through default_url_options, I am using memcache as a session store and I've set :cookie_only to false in environment.rb However it still does not seem to work. If I log in successfully, the first page is shown correctly, however when I contin...
Hi I have some strange behavior with ruby. In a rake file I pass in a date to soap method. In the response it appends a Z at the end of the date. in a lib file, same thing, same requirements, it doesn't. I need the case where it doesn't. It executes the same. What could it be? <n1:startDate>2009-08-18T00:00:00-05:00Z</n1:st...

Hello folks. I have built an engine-like plugin thanks to the new features of Rails 2.3. It's a 'Product' module for a CMS, extrapolated from a previously existing (and working) model/controller. The plugin relies on easy_fckeditor and on globalize (description and title field are localised), and I suspect that globalized could be the cu...

I want to do some programming in ruby on rails on my Dreamhost server, so I connected via ssh and created a small application. Then I started the server and it worked. The problem is, that after some time the server kills itself. So I tried to activate Passenger in the user panel (which also has the advantage, that I don't have to connec...

For a recent project, I had a couple views with code like this: <% if @users.count == 0 %> This worked perfectly in development mode... I rolled it out to prod mode and it exploded, saying that count was not a valid method of Array. I changed every instance to use Array#length instead and it seems to be working. 1) What is the reason...

I have a Ruby on Rails project that I was developing on a hosted server but have decided to work on my local windows machine with. To get started I thought I'd make sure that I could just take my models from the old project and put them in a new project then query them in the console. This fails. Edit to reflect more accurate problem:...
Hi All, I've got a bit of an odd issue here. Basically it only occurs in IE. Safari, Firefox, and Opera work just fine. FYI, I am using XMLCharts (http://www.maani.us/xml%5Fcharts/) to display chart data. Basically I have a library that generates up-to-the-minute data on the fly based on selected date ranges. Well, for whatever rea...

I would like to see the SQL statement that a given ActiveRecord Query will generate. I recognize I can get this information from the log after the query has been issued, but I'm wondering if there is a method that can be called on and ActiveRecord Query. For example: SampleModel.find(:all, :select => "DISTINCT(*)", :conditions => ["`d...
Hi, I'm trying to add search capability to one of my rails applications. I just need it to search through the mysql columns of quite a few models well. I'm wondering what the best way to do this is. I figure I should use a plugin but I don't see anyone really recommending one over another. Is there one you would recommend over all ot...
