I have two files. .rb (with Ruby code) and .erb (HTML file with some ruby script). I am calling a Ruby function in .rb from .erb . .erb <a href="<%= url_for :action => :showProducts(i) %>">Click here</a> .rb def showProducts(param) //Some code end I am able to call a function without passing parameters to it. But as and when I pass parameters to function and then call it, I receive an error. I know this is the incorrect way to call a parametrized function from .erb . What is the correct way of calling a parameterized function from HTML? If you add in another key/value pair to the hash in url

I wanted to create a stopwatch program in ruby so I googled it and found this SO Q . But over there, the author calls the tick function with 1000xxx.times . I wanted to know how I can do it using something like (every second).times or for each increment of second do call the tick function. Thread.new do while true do puts Time.now # or call tick function sleep 1 end end This function: def every_so_many_seconds(seconds) last_tick = Time.now loop do sleep 0.1 if Time.now - last_tick >= seconds last_tick += seconds yield end end end When used like this: every_so_many_seconds(1) do p Time.now end

How are Rhodes, Phonegap, and Appcelerator able to take Javascript or Ruby, and compile them into binaries for app SDKs that normally require apps to be written in Obj-C, Java, and others? Erik Phonegap uses the default browser rendering engine, and uses that to display your application. The javascript is then handled by the native (compiled) part of the framework. Appcelerator uses something simular, but compiles the whole application if i remember correctly. MoSync uses a somewhat simular setup as javaME. Rhodes uses local server. It uses this to communicate with the device. jipiboily Jeff

I am developing mobile apps using rhodes. I want to access private repo of github. I am having only username and password. How to get token of given username and password. Tekkub You should use oauth instead: http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/ ibo.ezhe Once you have only login and password you can use them using basic auth. First of all, check if this code shows you json data of desired repo. Username and password must be separated by a colon. curl -u "user:pwd" https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo If succeeded you should consider doing this request from code. import urllib2 import json
