Hi, I've implemented a "simple search form" (railscasts #37) in my app, but I wonder how: 1.) I cannot display any results if the keywords field is empty, or if the index page is loaded (I've tried search != "". Maybe there is a better way) 2.) I can add a function which avoid multiple white spaces in the search. (if users wrote someth...

I try with the following code : cookies.permanent[:last_used_expiration_delay] = @snippet.expiration_delay But the hash remains empty (here is the YAML dump) : --- !map:ActionDispatch::Cookies::PermanentCookieJar {} Basic ...

I have a rails app that uses delayed_job. Whilst DJ gives me a really easy way to setup delays on emails, is there any way to globally configure my app to send all email asynchronously regardless? The reason for this is that I have some gems that send email and don't want to have to modify them to accept DJ. ...

However, I need to sometimes return this file as an XML plist file and sometimes as a binary plist file. I thought that URLs composed like /resources.xml.plist and /re...
I have a new app (Rails 2.3.8) that uses lots of money fields. I'm using the money gem (3.0.5) and the acts_as_money plugin. I've written a number of rspec model examples and everything seems to be working fine there. My problem is in defining forms for new & edit. As I've done in past projects for complex layouts, I extracted the basic...

I could really use another set of eyes on this so I thought I would post it here. A while ago I wrote a basic ActiveRecord Extension for my own educational purposes. I've been reading about Railties lately and thought I would try to get it working with Rails 3. I thought I would package it up as a gem to get a sense of that process as we...
