I'd like to build a cabin on the parents' property, and power it with an array of wind turbines and solar panels. I'll be posting more details as I figure them out. I know how to build the turbines, the solar panels are fairly easy…I just need to determine what I use as [...]


This was something that eluded me for a pretty decent bit, and yet it's so easy. I was trying to use Lightbox Gone Wild in an AJAX-tastically created area, and the lightbox.js doesn't get run…so I just popped up my .rjs file and added
page.call 'initialize'
Really. That's all.


Given a layout like:
@left_column
@content_for_layout
You can create an action in your controller as follows:
@left_column = render :partial => 'stores/search_panel'
This will fill the left column with your search panel.
