rails upgrade missing 'truncate'

schmi...@gmail.com (schmii) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:32:14 UT

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?

schmi...@gmail.com (schmii) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:53:39 UT

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.

schmi...@gmail.com (schmii) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:51:40 UT

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

schmi...@gmail.com (schmii) — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:47:03 UT

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.
