Hello, I'm creating a page where I want to make a history page. So I was wondering if there is any way to fetch all rows from multiple tables and then sort by their time? Every table has a field called "created_at". So is there any way to fetch from all tables and sort without having Rails sorting them form me? ...
Hi there, I'm trying to write an action generator for my Rails apps (probably the most basic form of metaprogramming you can get.

I just upgraded jruby to 1.4 and I notice when I run my rails app that I get all kinds of logging spam now. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm not sure if it's a jruby thing, or if they've change the version of Webrick (i can't remember the version being run before) but I have a log line for every static file it loads. The wor...
When your application has a view that is only accessible after submitting another form (think signup screen, a shopping cart checkout, or a wizard-like interface), what's the best way to work on the successive views without having to click through all the preceding steps? Let's say we're working on the second or third step of a build-a-...
OK here is the deal. Me and some buddies are doing a Podcast(for over 4 year now) and in April we relaunched the site, that included a new Backend. Since I only had 2 weeks back then for getting everything to work, I decided to create something from scratch so everything fitted precisely our needs. The whole thing was written in Python b...

I heard a bunch of rails developer saying that RJS is evil. I've never used it since I always managed to do what I wanted using classic javascript or jquery so I didn't pay attention. Now I'm getting into some legacy code and there's RJS all over the place. So... is it true? What are the drawbacks/advantages of using RJS? ...
