I'm trying to upload an image to PingFM. Their documentation says: media – base64 encoded media data. I can access this image via the URL. I tried (practically guessed) this: ActiveSupport::Base64.encode64(open("http://image.com/img.jpg")) But I get this error: TypeError: can't convert Tempfile into String from /usr/lib/ruby/...
Perhaps I am just not using the correct terminology for Ruby (and if I am please correct me), but Google just isn't helping me on this one. What I have is a class (call it OrderController) that extends another class (call it BaseStoreController).

I'm using Ruby's CSV library to parse some CSV. I have a seemingly well-formed CSV file that I created by exporting an Excel file as CSV. However CSV.open(filename, 'r') causes a CSV::IllegalFormatError. There are no rogue commas or quotation marks in the file, nor anything else that I can see that might cause problems. I suspect the...

I'm writing a library to humanize bytes in Ruby (e.g. to turn the byte count 1025 into the string 1.1K), and I'm stuck on one element of the design. The plan is to extend Numeric with ahumanize method that returns a human-friendly string when called on a number. After looking at the source of Number::Bytes::Human (a Perl module that I ...
If I use permalink_fu on a text field I get this for the resulting permalink: http://localhost:3000/243webb4ee4ff2227230b4232438591810c35d3f instead of http://localhost:3000/where-is-my-lost-cat I assume this is because the text field becomes a blob in the database and permalink_fu only knows how to operate on string fields. How ...
