Hi I'm pretty much in wonder of the idea of autoscaling workers on Heroku with this delayed job branch. Only problem is I can't figure out why it won't work. What I've got thus far: I've installed the branch as a plugin. Added the two lines of configuration as described in the branch comments: Delayed::Job.destroy_failed_jobs = fals...

Hi, I've created a custom method in my model, which finds a record by name: def find_city Place.find_by_name(city_name) end I can call this method in my view with place_path(@place.find_city), which works great when a place with the appropriate name exists. What I would like to be able to do is write in a redirect for when the plac...
If there is a simple script and to distinguish whether it is running by itself or being run inside the Rails app environment, I tried using if defined? Product # something end but it failed to be recognized even though Product is defined and can be used otherwise. Since then I tried using if defined? RAILS_ENV instead and it wor...
I am currently building an application with one of the models being fairly complex. I am currently using assertions raise "error message" if "settings failed" question is - what are the advantages of using the Unit:testing frameworks over these assertions? ...
I'm following Railscast Advice of making a different model to maintain many-to-many relationships. However, I am having trouble extracting transitive relation data. Imagine that there are 3 models with many-to-many: User <-> Color <-> Shades I've made 2 more models: ColorLiking (maintains User <-> Color), DiffShades (maintains Col...
I've been reading and watching videos on nested forms, but I haven't had any luck getting things working. (...and I know this just has to be incredibly easy...) I have this view 'views/comments/new': <% form_for([@job, @comment]) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %> <p> <%= f.label :body %><br /> <%= f.text_area :body %> </p> <p> <%= f.su...
I have a Rails application (with Nginx and Passenger) that save video files on the server. How can I restrict access to those files to logged in users with permissions to those files? I believe when I try to access a file such as www.mysite.com/videos/video1.flv it bypasses Rails correct? So Do I have to do something at Nginx level to re...
I have a program that makes calls to an internal web API. However when we're doing development work on the sites we don't want the program to call our production web API but the staging version of the Web API. What's the best way to do this in rails? I feel I should be assigning some sort of variable in development.rb and one in produ...
Hi I am quite new to rails. I have this code in my controller: @schedules = Schedules.find(:all, :conditions => ["id = ?", params[:id]]) respond_to do |format| format.html # list.html.erb format.json { render :json => @schedules.to_json } end This works super, but how do I get the other way? How do I parse the received JSON to a ...
Hi, I want to get models whom date is within a date range. So I want to do something like MyModel.find_all_by_field1_id_and_field2_id(value1, value2, :conditions => { :date => nb_days_ago..Date.yesterday }) The thing is, the date attribute of my model is a string (with the format "08-24-2010"), and I can't modify this. So to compare i...

Is it possible to read this domain's cookie from a subdomain ? If yes, how can I do that with Rails ? cookies[:__utmz] doesn't seem to work with all browsers. I k...
I'm having a really hard time figuring out the scoping issue with the following script using the Google Maps API v3. I'm trying to geocode an unknown number of records (pulled from a database) and create a PolyLine from the results. There's some ruby sprinkled in the code, but it shouldn't be relevant to the JS right? var trippath = n...
I've found plenty of articles showing me what EventMachine is and how to set up endless "Hello World!" examples, but I'm still at a loss as to how this integrates with my Rails application. As a example, I have an existing Rails app that has many concurrent users who may be editing the same row in my database simultaneously. I was think...
I'm not sure if this can even be achieved, but here goes... :) Lets assume two models, a Page model and a Field model. A Page has_many :fields and the Field model has two attributes: :name, :value What I want to achieve is in the Page model to dynamically define instance methods for each Field#name returning the Field#value. So if my ...
We do research in systems biology. We prefer to use existing data sets, because collecting new biological data is expensive. Thus, a lot of the scripts we write are little more than transformations of one data set into another. Eventually, we put our results online -- and more and more journals are requiring this sort of thing. So it w...
I've read about HMVC (Hierarchic Model View Controller) and it's flexible structure. Have a look at this picture: http://techportal.ibuildings.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/MVC-HMVC.png I wonder if the Rails 3 plugins are the answer to HMVC in Rails 3? EDIT: Why cant I start a bounty on this one? No bounty button, bug? ...
