I am just starting a new Rails 3 project using Mongoid ORM for MongoDB. There is just one thing I can not get my head around, and that is how to effectively have a many-to-many relationship. Now there is a good chance that I may be approaching this problem wrong, but as far as I know, there is at least two containers in my project that...
I have some very large mp3's stored at a remote location and I presently link to them like so: = link_to "mp3", "http://website-where-file-is-stored.com/file-123456.mp3" When a user clicks the link, the file starts to play in the browser. I would like the file to download to the users hard-drive after they click the link. I've read a...

Question - Is there a way of getting the best of both worlds, ie. a nice dsl for testing and the brevity of shoulda macros, which can be used to test datamapper models. ...
In the Rails2 world, one could conveniently browse the code of plugins or gems packaged with the app. With Rails3, all the packaged gems are stored as .gem and hence are not browsable or searchable. Now I have to use 'bundle open [gem]' externally to browse gem/plugin code. Does anyone have a better technique to lookup or read gem/plugin...

Hi, I'm little confused on how to use cuke's options. I know that I can run spec and cucumber in two different console. But I want it to run both. So, I can pass args/options for rspec like bundle exec autotest -c -f specdoc but if I pass cucumber options like --tags @wip --format pretty, it blows out. So, how can I accomplish this?? ...
DHH recently stated that Rails3 is about to be in RC mode. This announcement ironically coincides with me and a friend of mine starting a Rails application. At this point in the game, we were going to just go ahead and be early adopters of 3. However, as we're both fairly inexperienced in creating large web apps with Rails, 2 seems like...

Is this possible given the button_to_remote function seems to be defined as a Prototype helper? I've replaced my /public/javascripts/rails.js with the jQuery driver.

Most tutorials I've found require you to modify the nginx config file. Can I modify the nginx config file on Heroku and if so, how? ...
