Attempting to use JRuby 1.2.0 and Rails 2.3.2 with an embedded Derby database. I've copied derbytools.jar and derby.jar to $RUBY_HOME/lib, yet rake db:migrate still gives: The driver encountered an error: cannot load Java class org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver Aaaand... I played a hunch and figured it out. So, I'll post this...
Summary As I'm looking on stackoverflow and around the net, I find that there is a general lack of good documentation on best practices for caching a high performance site that uses sessions. It would be helpful if we can share some ideas around some basic building blocks particularly around caching. For the purpose of this discussion, ...
I have a rails application where I would like to use both memcached and the file store cache, for different purposes. I want to use the file store cache to keep a large number of pages that don't change often (some not at all) - i.e. page caching - and use memcached for everything else (action and DB caching etc). The reason is that the...
I don't want to keep sphinx running all the time on my dev machine. I'd like a way to automatically execute rake thinking_sphinx:start when I run my app via netbeans. Is there a way to do this [also - I am using Windows] Thinking sphinx needs to run as a separate process. ...
Hi, I have a link_to_remote to render the edit action of an object. But all it does is update the Dom Element with this response try { } catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\n\n' + e.toString()); alert(''); throw e } My link looks like this: = link_to_remote t("txt.edit"), :update => dom_id(comment), :url => edit_comment_path(comment.id) ...
In Rails 2.3, if you add a resource map to a namespace in your routes.rb, how do you make link_to (and form_for and all those) understand that it should get that namespaced controller instead of one in the root namespace? example: map.namespace :admin do |admin| admin.resources :opt_in_users end link_to @anOptInUser #should use link_f...
Hi all, I have some javascript making an ajax call in my Rails site: $.ajax({type: "PUT", url: url, data: { dummy: data }, complete: function(data) {}}); When Rails gets it, it throws back an ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken Error. I'd like to keep the protect_from_forgery stuff in there, if possible... But I'm at a loss ...
I have two classes with the following associations: class Incident has_one :assignee has_one :technician class User has_many :incidents Note that the assignee and technician fields refer to objects of type User. How should these relationships be in the model? ...
I understand how STI works, in that I have say a Post model that contains posts on a forum and several sub-posts like 'ordinaryUserPost' and 'adminUserPost' etc. Now, I want to define the same method in each of the sub-posts, but the method would do something different in each case, eg class Post < ActiveRecord::Base end class AdminUs...
I'm writing a very simple mailing system for a Rails app. I'm using RESTful authentication. It's a fairly conventional setup, where I'm sending the same email when a user signs up and when a user forgets their password. I'm just having one problem that I can't seem to wrap my head around. I'd like to use the same email template for both...
I'm a C#/.NET developer looking to mess around with something completely different - something LAM(*) stackish for building web apps quickly. I'm thinking either Django or Rails. I kind of like the Python language better and it seems to be more full-featured than Ruby for statistical, scientific and networking (let me know if you think ...
Hello, I have installed and implemented the plugin restful_authentication from technoweenie. My application is, for the most part, intended to be open, except for the case of say, writing a review. So I have a reviews_controller.rb, but the only time I want to care whether the user is logged in or not is when they are submitting a spe...
I am using a rails helper that creates 3 select lists for the purpose of letting a user select a date. If I assign the helper a name, it sets all 3 select lists to have that name, and then only the last one goes through (it overwrites the previous). What I need to know is: What is the best way to take a set of 3 select lists (day, mont...

I want to rename the timestamp columns defined in timestamp.rb . Can the methods of timestamp.rb be overwritten? And what has to be done in the application that the module with the overwritten methods is used. ...
I have a form that contains one date element and 3 time elements. This is because 3 time events will occur on one date, and I don't want the user to have to input that date 3 times. On the server side, I would like to combine the one date with the 3 times to get 3 datetime objects. I was thinking I could just do something like: time_...
I have a fairly large Rails app, which uses memcached on a seperate server as its cache store. The problem is that I randomly get errors in the production environment which seem to indicate that memcached is returning an incorrect object. Examples: In this example, current_site is a helper method which accesses a method on the Site m...
Has anyone had any problems using the AASM state machine Gem with Rails 2.3.2? It was working fine for me but is now giving a NoMethodError: NoMethodError (undefined method `state' for #<Comment:0x25cb8ac>): /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyist-aasm-2.0.5/lib/persistence/active_record_persistence.rb:231:in `send' /usr/local/lib...
Using Rails, is there a reason why I should store attachments (could be a file of any time), in the filesystem instead of in the database? The database seems simpler to me, no need to worry about filesystem paths, structure, etc., you just look in your blob field. But most people seem to use the filesystem that it leaves me guessing that...
I'm running ruby 1.8.6 and rails 2.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.6. I'm trying to get ruby script/server to work...
