Making generic before_filters a little less ugly?
Hey folks, I have a few before filters which I am using to control access to resources on a resource-by-resource level. The basic idea is as follows: A user can be a user or admin and can have access to specific resources based on an "accesses" table. Resources/methods can be limited in access to admin, owner, particular users, or eve...

Because Shoe.color_equals('Dark Brown') != Shoe.color_equals('dark-brown') Is there a way to do something like: Shoe.parameterized_color_equals('dark-brown') Not that the api has to be exactly that, but is there a way to accomplish what I've outlined with searchlogic? edit I'll send in the GET params: dark-brown but want to match...

Handling user abuse in rails
I've been working on a web app that could be prone to user abuse, especially spam comments/accounts. I know that RECAPTCHA will take care of bots as far as fake users are concerned, but it won't do anything for those users who create an account and somehow put their spam comments on autopilot (like I've seen on twitter countless times). ...

Is it possible/advisable to write reusable Ruby-on-Rails applications?
Hi, I have an idea for a large web application, which in my mind would really be a number of reasonably independent application "components" (?), e.g. forum, blog etc. It seems to me that it would be nice to open source some of the individual components for others, or myself in the future to use. Now clearly, I could write a basic for...

Submit Not Triggering Appropriate Accept Headers Using form_remote_tag
The form_remote_tag seems to generate the correct html, but format.html is rendered instead of format.js. The two most common answers to format.html being rendered instead of format.js are renaming the file *.rjs to *.js.rjs and making sure the the javascript files are actually loaded. Both of these have been done. Let me know if ther...
