Hi everyone, How feasible would it be to get samba to back-up every version of a file that the Windows user saves? Specifically: 1) can you trap the "file saved" event somehow in a meaninful way? 2) is it possible to distinguish something like Access MDB access - ie, continual updates of some sort - from a regular file save? 3) what sort of level of knowledge of Samba, C/C++,

I have a controller method called update_all that grabs parameters for about 30 form fields and saves them to the database. My current code looks to see if there is a string in params[] for each form field (two fields for each SelfEvaluationItem) and saves the updated self_evaluation_answer if a string is available. Since this is iterated code, I am almost certain that this generates 30 or so

This is the code if !params[:ratings].nil? params[:ratings].each_key do |r| @selected_ratings << r @movies << Movie.where(''rating = :rating'', :rating => r) @sort = params[:sort] end elsif @selected_ratings = @all_ratings @movies = Movie.order(@sort) @sort = params[:sort] end This is the error You have a nil object

I am new to RoR. The problem i am facing is that that i have a few check box and initially when i run my app for the first time i want them all to be selected while for every next time i want it to have the last checked boxes checked.

Is there a way of retrieving all the request parameters without name in the controller. Thanks & Regards, Asem -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I need to include another helper module apart from the normal two (ApplicationHelper and [controllername]Helper). The inclusion needs to be dynamic and based on external parameters (ie what helper that get included differ from request to request). Is it possible? How? /Marcus

Hi all, Has anyone ever thought about or implemented a way to use Rails to pull content from a database and actually *generate* static html pages from view templates? I want to throw a bunch of content into a db using rails and then put all my website templates into the views dir and write the files out with the content inside. The funny thing is that the html pages Rails normally outputs to

Is there an easy (and secure) way to search your database when you don''t know the number of parameters ahead of time? I can see doing it by concatenating together an sql query, but hopefully rails provides a more elegant way to do this with ActiveRecord without making a ginormous switch statement? For example, lets say my search form has 4 different input boxes. I only want the query

Hi, I''m trying to do a bulk update on an array with the helper text_field. I''m trying to create an inputfield for every object in the array, but I''m not getting it right... example: class ClassA @arrayB[] end HTML (code with error): <% 0.upto(9) do |index| %> <%= text_field ''ClassA'', ''arrayB[index]'' %> non

I cannot work out why this error is appearing. ActionView::TemplateError (can''t convert ActiveRecord::Error into String) on line #3 of app/views/button/_show_enquiry.html.erb: 1: <h1>Send us a message</h1> 2: <% remote_form_for :enquiry, :url => {:action => ''send_mail''} do | f| %> 3: <%= error_messages_for ''enquiry'',

Please could someone suggest what might be wrong here. In my view I''m displaying a series of check boxes and when the form is submitted I want the controller to iterate over the values and contatenate them all into a string "1" if the box was checked and "0" if it wasn''t. I''m new to Ruby and Rails and I can''t seem to get any values out of

Hi there, We are using Samba as a user directory for our application. Passwords are stored in unicodePwd attribute, and our application resets passwords through LDAP (without the knowledge of the previous password, because it's an email-based reset). Unfortunately resetting it like this prevents the "password history" policy enforcement. This is a security problem that will come up

Hi, Can Ferret be configured to change the minimum word length of what it indexes? Right now it seems to drop words 3 characters or less, but I''d like to include words going down to 2 characters. How would I do that? Francis

Hi, I have three Models: User, Group and File. User habtm groups and Group habtm Files How can I find all files that a particular user has access to? eg user.groups.files ?

Imagine I want to track people, and the clubs that they belong to. table people with columns person_id, person_name table clubs with columns club_id, club_name And I have the association table: table clubs_people with columns person_id, club_id Now I know how to do this habtm between the two, in order to associate people with clubs that they belong to. However my application also needs a

Dave, thank you so much for the 0.11 release(s). You have solved many problems for me. As part of my appreciation for your good works, I am offering up for public consideration a silly little class that I wrote. (Code is below.) This class offers a simplified Hash-like interface to (a very restricted subset of) Ferret. Hence I call it FerretHash. FerretHash comes with its very own pet Ferret

Hi there I have an habtm association between 2 Models. I regularly have to truncate the table on one side of the relationship and repopulate the table with a fresh csv file. I notice that f I do Model.delete_all, none of the records in my habtm join table get deleted, whereas if I use destroy_all they do. However, the overhead of using destroy_all is too great. For the amount of records I have
