2009-01-08T02:32:14Z

is anyone aware if something had changed in the past couple of days on
dreamhost accounts running rails?
it seems the server crashed every time it encountered 'truncate' in
any of my views as in:

Rails dynamic list grid?

2008-12-21T01:53:39Z

I’ve found many of my tables are structured in pairs consisting of a
primary_table whose entries are classified against a corresponding
table of table_types.
I have structured table_type to be hierarchically with a self-
referential parent_id so that the top is ALL (0), whose children form
the second level are GROUPS under which all categories are referenced.

accumulating variables in a partial

2008-12-12T18:51:40Z

is there an easy way of accumulating values within a partial? if I
call a partial:

<%= render :partial => 'mobiles', :collection =>
@space_type.spacemobiles %>

and then in the partial '_mobiles'

<% area = mobiles.width * mobiles.length %>

embedded Ruby and canvas javascript

2008-11-02T00:47:03Z

I would like to create a view in a Rails application that draws
rectangles
using 'canvas javascript' based on the X,Y and length,width parameters
stored in a database table.

The following static rhtml file works as expected, but how do I embed
ruby and what portion of the code goes into a layout vs view.

code fails after upgrade to rails 2.0.2

2008-10-09T05:44:25Z

I wonder if anyone could lend insight to a controller that breaks
without warning or error messages after I upgraded to rails 2.0.2. The
primary symptom is that no rent_roll table entries are created.
I’ve included part of the offending code within my
businesses_controller. I wonder if anyone notices anything obvious.
