My question is how have people implemented different types of users in their Web applications using user-engine? As for my application, I use single table inheritance in order to derive several different types of users, such as "moderators," "editors," etc ... For example, let''s say that I want to create a moderator. I define a new moderator class and Controller like

...out the Indexed Search Engine for Rails apps. The DB migration file contained an error that had to be worked around. I''ve fixed that, added more (and clearer) documentation, and a sample application.

How would I go about setting up my rails applications to soft delete items from the database rather than actually deleting it. I would imagine that I need to over ride the methods from ActiveRecord. Where would I do this would it be in the model? enviroment.rb? I would imagine that if i wanted it throughout my entire application it would need to be in the enviroment.rb. Also to

...ince each term is stemmed and added to the indexed table individually, search results should be relatively fast." I have not yet formally evaluated performance, but it will certainly be faster than using wildcard full text searches such as "%pet%".

I''m relatively new to Ruby and Rails, although I have about 12 years software development experie...

I have a table with the list of business name and address in it. It may contain 1 million rows. The users want to look up into this table based on the business name. The simple solution is to use LIKE in mysql, but I am worried about performance, since the user load will be very high for this system. Any suggestion on how to handle the potential performance issue? How can i use a search

right now im writing a weblog as my first project in rails. Most tings seems to be working great :), but there is (a least) one thing left i can''t figure out how to do.

Hi all, I''ve been offered a short-term contract here in the North of England - around 3 months work, but with RoR I think it will take considerably less time - and am just curious what market rates were right now. I''ve been offered a little under ?1k/week which seems ''right'' for a PHP coder doing this kind of work, but should I be hitting for more, or is

Hi Railsers, How do you design your applications? Do you start coding HTML? Start with the controllers/models? Start in a program like photoshop/gimp/illustrator/inkscape? I start in inkscape, it''s a SVG editor. I sketch all the views of my application, and then I create the views that belong to one controller in RHTML. After that, I do the models/controller, and move on to the

Does anyone have an idea of the rates being charged by Rails developers (or salaries for FTEs)? I''m curious to see whether rates will become comparable to those paid to more experienced Java/.NET developer types, or if rates will be lowered by the free/open source mentality, and the possible perception that Rails makes Web development "easy." Sometimes rates are more
