Working through the How-to-update.txt file it states the following: You must create this SCGI configuration file for each of your Rails apps since it won't already exist: * Select the menu command "Rails Applications >> Manage Rails Applications..." * For each Rails application, select it and press the button "Configure SCGI Settings..." o This will popup a dialog that will let you set the runtime mode (development, production, test) and the SCGI port number. However I have no "Configure SCGI Settings" button available after selecting Manage Rails Applications? I get a 500 error when I start up mongrel and try to view any page in my rails apps created with InstantRails 1.7? The documentation also states: * Select the menu command "Rails Applications >> Open Ruby Console Window". One at a time, move into the base directory for each of your Rails apps, and then follow the upgrade instratuctions here: http://documentation.rubyonrails.com/re … to_10.html However when you go to this url you get a "Page Not Found" error? Any help is greatly appreciated. Mike Cannon 2008-08-29T18:15:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/201863 Hi experts! I would like to develop a website using rails that projects can do the following things. * Designers can freely and frequently design and change layout of pages (HTML,XHTML format) with a lot of dinamic data... Which is the good way to use Rails to build website like that? Waiting for your advices. Thank you very much. Ruby Girl 2008-08-29T16:53:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/201859 Hi, I'd like to announce Rails Wheels, a way to find, and be notified about, plugins and other software that's used on Rails sites, but also a way for authors of such software to earn part of their living from their open-sourced packages, rather than solely from their sites. The aim is to give us better software with better support & documentation, while preserving most of the benefits of free-software. Licences can be purchased in infrequent batches, and are only required when software is in live use, easing the burden on software users, while software authors have a ready-made framework for listing, licencing and supporting their work. So if you've written a plugin, tool, or other piece of software (big or small) that's used on Rails websites, I invite you to register it at http://railswheels.com . Your software's licence conditions can be purely free, commercial, donation-ware, or a hybrid, including legacy options. Thanks.

I am looking to start my next project in an open source environment to 1) cut down on the costs of tools and hosting, and 2) to learn something new. The runners up for "something new" are RoR and PHP.) I've thumbed through RailsSpace a number of times so I know a community site CAN be written in RoR. What I'm more interested in is can the home page in say facebook, wherein there are numerous webparts doing different things, be written in RoR? From what I've seen, and what I've done using tutorials and books, is that RoR works wonderfully for CRUD style pages. One page to view customers, and one page to add/edit customers. But can one page be the host of multiple views driven by multiple controllers? (Yes, my MVC experience is of the newb level too.

But right now, when I use my web application, all javascript files are empty despite the fact I didn't touch anything in the code. Is someone already had this problems ? MR Damien 2008-08-29T12:45:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/201830 Not wishing to start out on the wrong foot in the world of RoR, I would be grateful if someone could advise me if the following setup would be considered best practice or could it be improved upon. I have five models: User Customer Shop Supplier Quote A user can sign up as a customer, shop or supplier. I've gone for a 'skinny' user table and have created belongs_to/has_many associations to the different types of users (via user_id in their respective tables). A new quote will be created by a customer, the quote will then need to be accessed by the shop, who will update it, and then the supplier who will also update it. Do I now just need a quote table with customer_id, shop_id, supplier_id and their respective belongs_to/has_many associations, or is there a more preferred solution?

I'm taking advantage and toying around the new :accessible => true for mass assignments on new records; however I want to ask if somebody have an example on how to use properly the handling of has_many :through associations in edge. Let's say in my create action of the interested controller I have this: def create ... < at >report = < at >document.reports.build(params[:report]) if < at >report.save ... Report has_many Reason :through the join table, so in my form partial I've the classic fields_for which does pass the natural "report"=>{"when(1i)"=>"2008", "when(2i)"=>"8", "when(3i)"=>"29", "reasons"=>[{"content"=>"my reason"}]} Remember that in Report model there's the new :accessible for mass assignment: has_many :report_reasons has_many :reasons, :through => :report_reasons, :accessible => true This works well and it does keep one clean line in controller for building up the < at >report instance. The problem with has_many :through is that every time the Report gets saved, it creates new entries for every Reason instead of assigning one that already exists (of course). Do you have any hints how to manage cleanly this situation? callbacks, real code examples, etc. can help me greatly. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

On all 3 web-servers I see changes in my controller without web-server restarting. But changes in test.rb I can see only after web-server restarting. I understand, why i don't see changes.
