What if I don't want to visit the forum and only want to participate via Email?

Many have come from an email only background. You can still consume and produce 100% using email only.

To do so you have a few alternatives:

• If you want your volume set to 11 you can opt for “Mailing list mode” in your user profile, visit: Ruby on Rails Discussions - Ruby on Rails Discussions

• If you are just interested in particular categories, like #rubyonrails-core you can either watch, or watch-first post on the category. Ruby on Rails Discussions - Ruby on Rails Discussions

Additionally there are large amount of options for you to choose, from daily digests to digests once in a while. You can suppress email while your are on the site, or not.

If you have any questions or need any help, let us know!

Yeah this is a bit of a tricky pickle during the transition.

You can resume discussion by email but you are going to need to get at least one email from Discourse.

I recommend doing 1 reply via the web on topics you care about enabling watch topics after you reply.

This particular thread appears to be locked in the Web interface, too. I visited the page in Google Groups, ensured that I was logged in there, and could not see any buttons or links to reply. Have you seen this behavior?

Thanks,

Walter

Here’s a link to it in Google Groups: Redirecting to Google Groups and replying there still doesn’t seem possible. But I made another attempt to find the thread in the new Discourse system, and was able to find it there today (I could swear it wasn’t there when I tried yesterday) and I was able to paste in my reply there.

You mean this one?

handling errors when separating controllers

A while ago I listened to an interview with DHH where he outlined the advantages of using new controllers rather than creating custom actions in existing controllers. I have been trying this approach, and like the way it improves organisation and simplifies routes and also encourages scoping/namespacing to group resources. The one thing I have found not too neat is the handling of errors between resources. In particular, if I need to use partials from the original resouce (eg to resend the sh…
