This is by far the cleanest and leanest implementation I have come accross so far (ok, eval is seen by many as “chaeting”, but… who cares, this is a relatively safe way of using it, especially if you make the regex sufficiently strict!). Kudos & thanx!

Comment on Multilingual page caching in Ruby on Rails by Jan

Works really well. It took me forever to get localization based on subdomains working. And boy was I mad when I realized that it destroys my page caching. very, very glad I found this page. Thanks a lot!

I use de.foo.bar and en.foo.bar in my project with de and en as locale names, so I didn’t have to use cookies, but used:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+?)\.
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ cache/%1/$1.html [QSA]

Also I noticed that my root isn’t cached as locale/index.html but as locale.html so I went for:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+?)\.
RewriteRule ^$ cache/%1.html [QSA]

With built-in rails 2.3 localization:

def cache_page content, path
super content, I18n.locale + path
end

Comment on Unstubbing methods in Mocha by Jacob

Jacob — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:57:02 +0000

I too was struggling with a way to unstub in mocha.

I found:

Mocha::Mockery.instance.stubba.unstub_all

and

Mocha::Mockery.instance.stubba.stubba_methods

on which you can do:

Mocha::Mockery.instance.stubba.stubba_methods.each do |meth|
if meth.stubbee == SomeClassOrInstanceIWantToUnstub && meth.method == “somemethodtounstub”
meth.unstub
end
end

Comment on The simplest way to set-up a “we’ll be back shortly” page by Ernesto

FWIW, my maintenance page had some images which were not displaying as they were caught in the RewriteRule, so I changed it to:

RewriteRule !\.(ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ – [R=503]

to allow those extensions to still be served.

For ngnix it would be like
server {
…
set $locale bg;
if ($http_cookie ~ ‘locale=(en|bg)’) {
set $locale $1;
}
…
location / {
…
try_files /maintenance.html /cache/$locale/$uri.html /cache/$locale/$uri/index.html /cache/$locale/$uri $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @modrails; $

…
}

Comment on Error while installing Postgresql 8.3 on Windows XP by cc0e

Thanks dude. You saved my day. I wish enterprisedb should give more specific errors in their isntallers. grrr…

Those who like postgreSQL should definitely check out the interactive webcasts/recorded online meetings/seminar. Here it is http://www.enterprisedb.com/learning/webcasts.do#ui-tabs-53. You have to register your email though. The quality will make up for the hassle. Keep in mind though that some of those listed webcasts are still to BE HELD in the FUTURE, so you cannot download all of them. However, it gives you the opportunity to ask questions/ participate in meeting polls.

phitoz: tried reinstalling ? or tried using a software tool?

QAS: without looking at your code I can only speculate. You probably call add_breadcrumb 'Home', '/' twice. Please check your code for that.

for some reason i get two home crumbs and then the current crumb.

ex: Home > Home > Model > 2003

Any idea why this could be happening?

Comment on Error while installing Postgresql 8.3 on Windows XP by phitoz

I’ve unchecked the “Deactivate Scripting Host” and apply Setting for this. But until now I couldn’t install the postgresql8.3.7.1-widows.exe.
I’ve changed values setting of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Scripting Host\Setting from regedit into 0, but it’s still same.

Any solution from my problem.

Thanks for this good stuff! I added the eval business to the name param also just so I could throw the names of individual dynamic elements at the end of the crumb strings works great!

vidman: you must activate Scripting Host, not deactivate it :) (turn off deactivation in xp-antispy lango). Maybe you didn’t apply changes in xp-antispy? Or there is something else that prevents intallation? Did you check Windows’ Event Log?
