As far as I can tell if I set an ordering parameter, it totally overrides relevance, and sorts by the ordering parameter(s). How can I have results sorted first by relevance, and then in the case of two entries with exactly the same relevance, gi...

I am making a concerted effort to wrap my head around Rspec in order to move towards more of a TDD/BDD development pattern. However, I'm a long way off and struggling with some of the fundamentals: Like, when exactly should I be using mocks/stubs and when shouldn't I?

This is because authlogic is incrementing failed login attempts on the user record. So if the user requests a new password and then tries to log in before resetting the pass...

Unin...
