[Rails] Re: Frustrations w/2.3.x and ruby 1.9.(2|3)
I feel your pain. I've been in the midst of similar tasks for a large 2.3.11 codebase. Here are a couple of links that might help: http://gembundler.com/compatibility http://blog.rubygems.org/2011/08/31/shaving-the-yaml-yak.html I'd take it one gem at a time. Good luck.

I am getting ready to write a new app in 3.x so I figured I would upgrade a legacy app to run on 1.9.x to ease deployment, eliminate proxying requests, gain performance, etc, etc. What a nightmare. RubyGems 1.8 throws up all over the screen complaining about it's own code. The RubyGem poobah apparently thinks this is a good thing/ won't fix. Certain versions of rubygems don't like certain versions of rails. Rack apparently made a change to set_cookies! which breaks rails (expiry) Bundle doesn't like using rails from git, because there are no gemspecs etc, etc, etc. I was hoping to use the latest version of ruby, rack, and rubygems with a 2.3.x app. Starting to think it's impossible. In order to use 1.9.3 I think (haven't actually tried this variant yet) I have to use a downgraded rubygems + 2-3-stable branch from github + stop using bundle. Maybe. I liked the whole convention over configuration thing, and it just works. Not anymore, it looks like i've descended into a propellerhead's version of DLL hell.

Are you trying to secure your Rails app via IP? You can use request headers in Rails to compare. You would have to use regex to compare for specific range.

[Rails] Re: including a blank in a dropdown
You can't call empty? method on a nil object. You must check that it
exists first. This is super simple in Ruby. Just try and call the
object, if it's nil it evaluates false, if it exists, it is true:
unless params[:location][:id] || params[:location][:id].empty?
Precendence will short circuit on a nil first and never try and call
the empty? method. But If the params[:location][:id] exists, then you
CAN check for empty?

[Rails] Re: New to Rails.
The prefpane is broken in 10.5 last I check. For now just search for mysql_safe and google how to start from command line. The real issue here is OSX is not like Linux AT ALL in how it starts daemons. And some of the reading you might find on Linux simply won't apply. My real recommendation to people getting into Rails is you HAVE to have some sysadmin comfort. Rails is NOT a a RAD in the sense of the 1990's (i'm showing my age :)). Don;t take this as a condemnation. I am glad you are getting into Rails Zack. The primary issue with using packages is that when they don't work or something about your system is broken, you have no recourse. I would recommend the following before you continue ANY further: *download XCode 3 from Apple. and install *run apple updates. *ONLY use packages that say they work for 10.5. DO NOT assume 10.4 packages will work(they might). Apple has made some changes to 10.5 that I can't recall. But you are going to say yourself trouble if you at least consider my warning. Secondly, If you are not ready to take the jump into downloading source. Then investigate using Fink or DarwinPorts. I have found these invaluable when I needed something running quickly (they do some of the compiling work for you). Good luck. Hank On Oct 2, 12:55 pm, Zack K.

[Rails] Re: extract a substring
my_string=blablablablacoordinatessubstring/coordinatesblabla #the parentheses below define the actual match for the overall regex pattern sub_string = /.*coordinates(.*)\/coordinates.*/.match(my_string) puts sub_string[0] Regex is the fastest/most effective for one/off text parsing.

[Rails] Re: Problem with attachment_fu and ImageScience
Victor, I have found production/test deployment oddities can be resolved by switching your local development into production mode to force Rails to behave like it would on your server. The quickest way to do this is to edit your database.yml and copy your development: block and rename to production:. Then change the name of the original production: block to something else like production_off:. Restart your local development server but add the - e production or just production argument and you might find the same behavior. Now have eliminated your server as the culprit of the issue. For example, it could be a problem in the way you are using attachment_fu. Development mode and production mode are not 100% congruous in my experience. secondly, make sure you are not using reserved column names in your tables. This looks suspicious in that regard: ...The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: 'NULL' A good example is a type column. This is reserved for polymorphism and can introduce some unwanted automagically ActiveRecord behavior.

[Rails] Downtown Atlanta - RoR Zealot - looking for peers to chat over beers
I live in downtown area. And I realize the Atlanta RUG has meetings, but I can't always make them on Wed. evening if I have kid duty. Secondly, they are a little more formal that I was thinking. I'm looking to informally network and connect with any folks who live in town. I love Rails and want to find similar individuals. If you are interested connect back to me and maybe we'll have Ruby on Beers night?

[Rails] Re: Ruby developer Position @ Midtown , Atlanta
It's a legitimate job opening, but I think the posting looks as if it were posted in 30 seconds to 'beat' the other headhunters who learned of it that same day. It is annoying. And its not midtown. Its norcross, jeez.

[Rails] Re: 0% experience
Back in 2006 when Rails was just getting noticed, I learned using that same book First edition. Good choice. What other languages/frameworks do you have experience with? I find that can help in telling people how to approach Rails. Also are you a Mac or PC guy? This helps too.

[Rails] Re: change_table is not working on production server
To debug this I would: 1) verify schema versions match on dev compared to prod: select * from schema_migrations; 2) turn up debug on prod logging: in evironment.rb uncomment this line: # config.log_level = :debug and tail -f log/* when running migrations. see if it is even doing what you think it is doing. 3) I've found in Rails 2 this statement causes issues when I migrate on non-development environments. And I sometimes comment it before I do migrations: environments/production.rb : config.cache_classes = true I hope this helps.
