simplyglobal : A simple globalization plugin for Rails
The following is a guest post from Dan Simard
Sometimes, you have to reinvent the wheel. It’s really sad to say and you will probably hate me for saying that (and I know that you’ll do because I hate myself for it). I’ve written a new [...]

How to display a collection grouped by an attribute value in Rails

Flashback time. We are in 1999 and you are coding in ASP... yet people are not laughing at you.

XMPP4r 0.4 has been released
From Ruby fleebie, 3 months ago,
0 comments
It’s been a while since the latest release of XMPP4r. I was starting to think that the development for this great library had been stopped.
Fortunately, version 0.4 has been released on August 5th 2008. We’re going to try this new version internally and eventually use it for TimmyOnTime. I am personnally hoping for less memory [...]

Get the intersection of 2 arrays
From Ruby fleebie, 3 months ago,
0 comments
Pretty easy stuff today, but this is not something you may need to do often so maybe you don’t know how to do it.
Say I have these 2 arrays :
colors1 = [:blue, :red, :green, :orange, :purple]
colors2 = [:yellow, :cyan, :green, :blue, :purple]
Now what if I want a new array that contains only the elements present [...]

acts_as_state_machine and variable initial states
From Ruby fleebie, 4 months ago,
0 comments
acts_as_state_machine is a great plugin really useful when you want to add constraints and behavior to your model objects.
Note : Those who don’t know what this plugin is all about should stop reading right there or risk being completely lost.
One thing that seems impossible to do with the plugin is to have variable “initial states” [...]

Use named_scope to add elegant finders to your models
From Ruby fleebie, 4 months ago,
0 comments
I used to be a fan of the has_finder gem written by Nick Kallen.
Now with Rails 2, this functionnality is built-in so you don’t need to install the gem.
The named_scope method allows you to add finders to any model. A code snippet is worth 10000 words :
class Story < ActiveRecord::Base
named_scope :hilarious, :conditions => ['type [...]

Komodo Edit : A great editor for dynamic languages
From Ruby fleebie, 7 months ago,
0 comments
Being a Linux/Ubuntu user, i cannot use the praised Textmate editor to develop ruby applications. I tried a lot of editors, some of them being very good ones, but in the end I always end up using gedit.
gedit is great… but it is rather limited features-wise. Recently I have tried Komodo Edit and I can [...]

Phusion Passenger, you’re my hero
From Ruby fleebie, 7 months ago,

I feel so weird. Maybe it’s just the side-effects of eating that old, pinky-brown colored and talking piece of raw meat that was sitting in the corner of my kitchen since a month or two… but as strange as it may sound, I think it’s something else.
I think it is something related to Rails that [...]

Railers Need To Stop Not Caring About The Database
From Ruby fleebie, 8 months ago,
0 comments
For many of us, databases are no fun… surely not as fun as ActiveRecord or Rails in general. Every railers I know love the “dot notation” offered by ActiveRecord associations immensely… while refering to the vast majority of raw SQL queries as “Some ugly non-sense gibberish that we would all prefer not know the [...]

Oh, my… God.
What is this? First post in a century? What’s going on here Fleebie? Our beloved readers are going to stop respecting us, and for good reasons.
For those who care, I am not dead, I am not sick… I am just working like crazy on Azanka, the company I started with Dan recently.
Ok now [...]

Life beyond the each iterator

Today I will take a break from the IM integration with XMPP4r series and write about something completely different. Writing about XMPP4r just for the heck of it would become boring for everyone quite fast.
Let me dim the light, start some sentimental music, light some candles, make an exaggerated smile so I can become intimate [...]

IM Integration with XMPP4r - 2 mistakes to avoid
From Ruby fleebie, 11 months ago,

In this 3rd part we’re going to be concrete but a little bit less technical. Here are 2 big mistakes you have to avoid when trying to setup an IM based application (Sorry for those who wanted more technical info about xmpp4r… maybe in the next one).
The #1 mistake : Trying to run XMPP4r under [...]

IM Integration With XMPP4r : Part 2
From Ruby fleebie, 11 months ago,
0 comments
In the first part, we talked less about XMPP4r and more about XMPP, this time it will be the other way around.
Now that we know that XMPP messages are XML bits of information exchanged between a client and a server via a TCP connection, we are more able to understand the purpose of XMPP4r.
What is [...]

It’s been a while since the last edition of Rubyize this. I have waited all this time because I like when people become impatient. I have received 254 939 emails from desperate people asking me : “When will you post your 5th edition?”, “Is it hard to be that excellent?”, “You rock Frank. Warm kisses… [...]
