RAILS PLUGIN: Ajax Scaffold File Upload plugin

January 29th, 2007 timcharper

Here’s a simple but elegant solution to handling file uploads with the marvelous Ajax Scaffold plugin. It seamlessly extends (not replaces) the ajax-scaffold plugin so posts can be made via an iframe, allowing the possibility of file uploads. Because it extends, and not replaces, you can continue to update your copy of ajax-scaffold-plugin without having to back and redo anything!

January 10th, 2007 timcharper

I am a windows rails developer, and I love rad-rails. However, it has a big gap when it comes to debugging features. But, when using the ruby-debug gem in tandem with the external tools feature of rad-rails (eclipse), debugging can become surprisingly pleasant. In this article I will show you how to set up various “External Tools” shortcuts to aid you debug rails applications (and do other things).
