Go to your application_controler.rb and add this method

def xxx function
raise function .inspect
end

save the file and restart the server if required, now anywhere in your controller you can do this

xxx User.all

or you can do

xxx params

ofcourse you can name this method what ever you want, but I use xxx because its quick to type and I won’t override other method “no descent application would have such a method called xxx”

Are you getting ‘not authorized to access newname’ error?

cd myapp .git/config

 repositoryformatversion = 0
 filemode = true
 bare = false
 logallrefupdates = true
[remote "heroku"]
 url = git@heroku.com:<span style="color: #ff0000;">newname</span>.git
 fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/heroku/*

change newname to the your project name

push again, it should be fixed

The easier way to send email from rails application, this is what the guys at PostageApp say at their website frontpage, and thats absolutely true.

Last night I was building an app that use Nokogiri gem to do screen scraping for the frontpage of a client website and put it then in a template to be ready for sending through rails mailer.

I have thousands of subscripers in the database, how I’m going to make rails mailer send the message to all of them, phplist used to take several houres to finish, should I use cronjob or what?
