Set base path for Rails app

After a bit of searching, I finally figured out how to force Rails to use a particular base path when generating url via any of the various methods that pass through “url_for.” Add the following line to your environment.rb file:

ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = “/[basepath]“

Corrupt gem source_cache

Rails 1.1 and OS X setup

The release of Rails 1.1 today finally inspired me to finish moving my rails dev over to my mac, where it should have been in the first place.

Dallas.rb

I plan on attending the first meeting of the Dallas Ruby Brigade this evening. Should be fun. I know at least one of the attendees will also be at the RubyConf in June, so it’ll be good to make some connections.

Application-wide preferences in Rails

I’m likely missing something obvious, but I haven’t found the proper “rails” way of handling application-wide preferences. I want to store the prefs in the db, probably in a table something like this:

preferences
id = int(11)

A ripple in the beams

It looks like Seth and I are actually going to meet, in person at RailsConf in June. Wacky. I wonder how we’ll find each other in the crowd? Oh wait, we’re both in the 95th percentile for height!
