Open source is wide open: Calling RAKE tasks.

Good to know.

Fix for Windows + Rails 2.2 + Mysql 5.1 = error

Trevoke — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:58:28 +0000

If you get this error : Mysql::Error: query: not connected: or one just like it, it’s because you need an older DLL.. Which I just happen to have found, because I needed to fix this problem too!
libmySQL.dll

Enjoy.

Ruby on Rails + Sybase

Trevoke — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:32:27 +0000

Caveat: This adapter may only work with the enterprise edition of Sybase (i.e. Sybase ASE) not with SQLAnywhere (Sybase ASA)

gem install activerecord-sybase-adapter -s http://gems.rubyonrails.org

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => “sybase”,
:database => “test”,
:host => “www.yourdbserver.com”,
:username => “kevin”,
:password => “test”)

Play!

www.learningrails.com tutorial – screencast 14, in_place_editing

Trevoke — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 23:46:48 +0000

You’ll notice, if you follow those screencasts (around now, anyway, as the plugin’s code is likely to change, or maybe the screencasts themselves) that when you add in_place_editing, you suddenly get broken HTML..

The fix is thankfully easy!

vendors > plugins > in_place_editing > lib > in_place_macros_helper.rb
Line 79:
tag = content_tag(tag_options.delete(:tag), h(instance_tag.value(instance_tag.object)), tag_options)

Change to :
tag = content_tag(tag_options.delete(:tag), instance_tag.value(instance_tag.object), tag_options)

And you’re set!
