I have an object of type Hash that I want to loop over via hash.each do |key, value|. I would like to get the number of times I've been through the loop starting at 1. Is there a method similar to each that provides this (while still providing the hash key/value data), or do I need to create another counter variable to increment within...
I have set PassengerPoolIdleTime to 0, with the expectation that this means I can "warm" up a bunch of passenger processes on my server, and the next time I have a burst of traffic (even if it is days later), they will all be warmed up and ready to accept requests. What I'm seeing instead is that every morning when I get up, passenger-s...

I've got a text area on a web site that should be limited in length. I'm allowing users to enter 255 characters, and am enforcing that limit with a Rails validation: validates_length_of :body, :maximum => 255 At the same time, I added a javascript char counter like you see on Twitter, to give feedback to the user on how many characte...

That's sound easy, but I want multiple counters. I want to know which was the most visited item in the last day, last week or last months or overall. My first Idea was to ...
I want to store a path for a special directory used by my Rails application. Should I store that in environment.rb, or is there another place this is meant to go? THE_DIRECTORY_PATH = '/path/to/directory' Let's assume my controllers + models or libraries in /lib need access as well. ...

I want to log into https://www.t-mobile.com/ programmatically. My first idea was to use Mechanize to submit the login form: However, it turns out that this isn't even a real form. Instead, when you click "Log in" some javascript grabs the values of the fields, creates a new form dynamically, and submits it. "Log in" button HTML: <bu...

So I came about the strangest rails bug. I have been starting a new rails3 app, and just installed will_paginate 3.0pre. Unfortunately the rails 3.0.0.beta2 update made some of will_paginate 3.0pre code deprecated. I did a quick fix. In gems/will_paginate-3.0.pre/lib/will_paginate/railtie.rb: ... #railtie_name :will_paginate #Old co...
I'm trying to understand the best options for pulling off a wizard form in ruby on rails. Ideally I'd like to have it so the application signup has a back and next button that allows the user to submit data in steps. So in step 1 they could fill out contact info. Once they are done they could click next and be on step 2 to fill out paym...

Operations like Dataset.all.each do |data| ... end take a very long time to complete (I assume this is because it can't fit all the items into memory a...
