unique id custom creator - help
Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:52:36 UT
I have a simple blog app that lets me create an entry with title and a body... real simple. In addition to the id that the database creates by default per each entry I would love to associate an unique id that uses 0123456789 and the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

Creating routes at run-time
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 02:05:44 UT
Hey guys. In Rails 2, is there a way to create a route at run-time? I want to do this because a gem that I'm writing requires a single resource route, and I'd prefer that the gem create it at run-time instead of forcing the user to define the route in routes.rb . While trying to figure this out, I discovered that calling
Which version of rails should I use?
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:43:43 UT
I'm looking to build a web interface for an existing Ruby app and I'm trying to figure out which version of Rails to use - 2.3 or 3.0. The reasons for using 2.3 are pretty straightforward: it's stable and I can buy a number of books on it. My reasons for considering 3.0 are: - My app uses Ruby 1.9 and Rails 2.3 does not seem to support Ruby 1.9

production.log ownership switched to root -> app is down
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:04:47 UT
Hi all, We are facing a problem we can't resolve for now. We have an application where sometimes production.log ownership switches from www-data to root. It crashes the application, as it is run by www-data user. We use Phusion Passenger with Nginx on Debian and the default user is set to www-data. We have several Rails processes that could possibly write to the log. We

A Rails 3 centric Gem with it's own routes.rb?
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:33:39 UT
I am working on a Gem for Rails 3 apps. In it, I want to include another GEM/lib/app/config/routes.rb to have gem level access to add new routes non programmatically. i.e., not runtime generated.

Default rendered error file and hash to nice string how to
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:09:55 UT
Hi, When rails raises an exception which file (view?) gets rendered and outputs in the browser the backtrace, request, parameters, etc. I'm asking that because I'd like to know if Rails provides an easy way to convert a hash to a readable string, eg: "{:key => 'value'}" instead of yukky #to_s which gives "keyvalue".
