I am using an extension that depends on the page. I would like to use the extension for each board which means I need a board unique url. It currently looks like this
http://phpbb-site.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=BOARDNUMBER
I'd like to trick Firefox into having BOARDNUMBER in the location part of the url.
Then the extension will work and I won't have to tweak it. The problem is that I can't think of any way I can have Firefox use nice urls. I only need it to work on my computer. I don't own the site. What can I do? Can I use a proxy program? I was thinking maybe I could write a quick asp.net program which essentially does a GET request on the site and replaces all links to include the boardnumber and ignores that part of the url when making the request. It's probably a bad idea because I am sure lots can go wrong
Any ideas?
You should be able to do this using a simple script in Fiddler.

I need to add unlockables to my application, but the problem is that I don't want to have to send out an update every time that I want to add something new. I have read a bit about servers and JSON and XML. I just wanted to check to see if anybody else had a better idea?
If you are talking about something like a logo change then, short of an app update, the only option you have is getting it from an outside source such as a server transmission. But now you are talking about in-app purchases which, if you have not already, should read up on.

Server based image and/or text transmissions are easily done and if I understand your last comment correctly, these updates would not be very frequent anyway.

I was working on a website for a client. I wanted to re-write a url but don't know how to go about it. I have very less time. I am looking for a tutorial, but would be quite helpful if someone could help me.
Following is the url that I receive:
www.example.com/shop/url_encoded_category_name/product?productid=
I want to re-write it to:
www.example.com/shop-public-home.php?productid=
The problem here is that "url_encoded_category_name" will be some text and will be something different every time.
I am looking for a quick tutorial, and will close the question if I found a solution.
I am highly thankful for any help you can provide.

You will probably use apache mod_rewrite, if you use an apache http server. All apache modules have excellent documentation including good examples. You will find all details you are looking for in that documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
You can either setup the rewriting rules in the central server configuration (preferred way) or decentralized using so called ".htaccess" files. You can use more or less the same rules for both approaches. Check the RewriteEngine, RewriteRule, RewriteMap and RewriteCond commands.

I am developing an app that allows users to post to walls/groups very much like facebook or a classic forum. I really like the way you can post a link on facebook and the link will be recognized as a video, pic, or other media and will automatically display. Its a great feature b/c it keeps users on facebook instead of leaving the site. On that note, I was looking to implement something similar for my the app I am developing. Are there any rails plugins/gems that do this kind of thing?
Yes, I know how to google and have done so. I realize that I could write regular expressions to scan the link and then take an according action. However, I am looking for an existing implementation to save a boat load of time.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
Existing implementations would probably be employing some form of regular expression, although another approach is using custom "Markdown" syntax or BB code to make the regular expression easier.

I programmed in php. And when you use some framework, then, as far as php is intepreter, all the framework loads every request. But not rails, though, ruby is interperter too... So, how does it work
Nope. Rails as the framework caches all loaded modules, class and libraries on the first several requests (it's not on the first request only since it also has lazy load for above things).
But by default under development mode, all app modules (mvc) are reloaded on each request. Libraries (plugins, gems, etc) are not reloaded.
Your question is hugely wide open and too large to really answer effectively. This is a good place: RoR Guides. If after reading that you have more specific and directed questions bring them back and we'll try our best to help you...

Anyone done this in MVC? any info would be great!.
Thanks.
You can get pretty far simply by including a print.css file for media type print.
Hide everything you don't want and include logical page breaks and demensions (inches, etc... actually format more correctly using the print.css override).
I have used a custom controller (or filter) to handle links using something like index.print instead of index.html, which simply overrides the master layout with a layout more suitable for printing, but I still feel that the alternate stylesheet is the best way to go.

Printing a page isn't really a matter for ASP .NET or MVC. Printing is a client-side operation, and therefore can (and should) be done entirely in client-side code. JavaScript has a method call for this:
window.print()
