It is currently running fine on my new iMac i7 (same OS). I start mongrel with this command: mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d -a 127.0.0.1 --debug A...
I have gotten a great deal of help from KandadaBoggu on my last question and very very thankful for that. As we were getting buried in the comments I wanted to break this part out. I am attempting to create a tag feature on the rails blog I am developing. The relationship is Post has_many :tags and Tag belongs_to :post. Adding and dele...
I'd like to develop a number of non-trivial Rails applications which all implement a core set of functionality but each have certain particular customizations, extensions, and aesthetic differences. How can I pull the core functionality (models, controllers, helpers, support classes, tests) common to all these systems out in such a way t...

I've recently convinced my management that our outdated version of Rails (1.2.4) is slowing us down enough to warrant an upgrade.

I followed all the instructions listed with the plugin and I am getting an 'undefined method `paginate' for' error.

The cucumber test first makes an entry in the database and posts a form to a second server. This second server does some processing in background and then hits the first app (where the test is being run) with some data that the cucumber test needs to know about. I've tried running the main server via script/server and script/server -e ...
I'm currently writing a Rails app, and hit a somewhat strange quirk. I have a controller PermissionsController, which is mainly for display purposes at the moment. So my routing is locked down: map.resources :permissions, :only => [:index, :show] Unfortunately, when writing the tests, one of the routing tests fails: it "does not reco...
I'm using Ym4r and want to add a polyline to my map. This works: polyline = GPolyline.new([[27.4037755983,89.4263076782],[27.5155793659,89.3245124817]],"#ff0000",3,1.0) @map.record_init @map.add_overlay(polyline) But this doesn't: polystring = "[27.4037755983,89.4263076782],[27.5155793659,89.3245124817]" polyline = GPolyline.new([po...
Hi, I use prototype since a long time, but for some reason I have to switch to Jquery. I need to build a layout with resizable parts, I found http://layout.jquery-dev.net/ But I don't like the code generated, inline css is ugly. Do you know any clean alternative? Jquery, Rails plugin or anything else Cheers ...
