Hi, I installed Sphinx and Thinking Sphinx for ruby on rails 2.3.2. When I search without conditions search works ok. Now, what I'd like to do is filter by tags, so, as I'm using the acts_as_taggable_on plugin, my Announcement model looks like this: class Announcement < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable_on :tags,:category defi...

You know, for load balancing, etc? I have a VPS and understand you can deploy and run multiple instances and have them share data with database session store and memcached and the like. What I have not been able to find is any information on how this is done? I am curious about multiple instances (two or three) on a single VPS and also ...

One thing you can do on my rap lyric explanation site is "like" explanations (once you're logged in): I'd like to show the "Like" links to users who aren't logged in, and then, when a non-logged in user clicks "Like", show him a lightbox with a "Login or Register" form (like Digg / Reddit) What's the best way to accomplish this? C...

In my web application, each user will have a logo. I am pretty sure each user will also have a photo gallery in the future. What is the best way to set up a directory structure for managing user logos and possibly other assets such as photos? Also would be good to get people's opinions on what to store in the database. My application...
Hi, I installed Sphinx and Thinking Sphinx on ruby-on-rails 2.3.2 and on Windows 7 pc. First of all, if I run rake ts:start, it won't start at all. It keep saying "Starting..." and it never starts. Even though, the simple search(with no filtering nor conditions) works fine. When I try to add a filter, it won't return any record. My mo...
Hi, I am very new to Rails so this will probably seem basic to most of you. I am having trouble getting instance variables from one of my controller methods to show in my view. I am trying to get the first 10 entries of a MySQL table called Odds to show up in a table on my index view. Here is my Model: class Odds < ActiveRecord::B...
I come from an MVC background (Flex and Rails) and love the ideas of code separation, reusability, encapsulation, etc. It makes it easy to build things quickly and reuse components in other projects. However, it has been very difficult to stick with the MVC principles when trying to build complex, state-driven, asynchronous, animated a...
I have what seems to me to be a simple declarative_authorization rule, but I'm sure it's just my newness that is causing me to have problems getting it to work. I have a user and a group. A group has a many-to-one relationship with a user. A particular class (:asset) can have a user & group associated with it. I want to determine au...

I have a very simple cart which displays the item quantity in a text_field, and the item name. I can fetch the proper data, I can't pass both of my arguments into my method (inventory ID and quantity). I'm receiving an argument error in my cart_update method of the inventories controller. add_to_cart.html.erb <% for item in @cart.items...
I created a simple example as a sanity check and still can not seem to destroy an item on either side of a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship in rails. Whenever I try to delete an object from either table, I get the dreaded NameError / "uninitialized constant" error message. To demonstrate, I created a sample rails app with a Boy c...
I'm new to Ruby and working through some tutorials/screencasts. I've reached the section where they're discusisng the before_filter callback, and it's using some syntax that's a little weird for me. I don't know if it's a feature of ruby, of if it's some rails magic, and was hoping someone here could set me straight or point me in the ...

If my tests subclass ActiveSupport::TestCase, everything is cleaned up properly. Can anyone explain why, and/or provide an explanation of using one versus the other? I am using shoulda and factory_girl. Thanks. ...
