Due to the fact that I pay no attention to the renewal dates of domains, jimneath.org expired on Tuesday. And due to the fact I know nothing about computers it’s taken me until today to get the site back up.

But I’m back now, so panic over.

Just a quick one. Say you have a route like the following:

map.resources :users

And you’re using email addresses to look up users like:

/users/jim@somewhere.com

You’re going to run into an error along the lines of:

Missing template users/show.com.erb in view path blah/app/views

Which obviously isn’t what you want. To fix this, change your route to the following:

map.resources :users, :requirements => { :id => /.*/ }

Rejoice.

RubyFu is a project I’ve been working on, along with Phil Jeffs, for a couple of weeks now. We’ve got big plans so keep your eyes peeled.

What is RubyFu?

RubyFu is a community driven ruby news site. Users can submit their news stories, comment on other stories and vote. If a news story receives a vote total of less than a certain number, then post is removed. Say bye-bye spam.

At the moment, RubyFu is pretty simple but we have a lot of ideas floating around, so soon it will be more awesome than anything. ever.

So if you’ve got a post, a tutorial or anything else that you find interesting, come and share it was us at RubyFu.
