similar to: one authentication for multiple rails apps

after almost a week of trial and error, i''ve finally got a hold of creating a web service in rails. after all this time though, i''m still not quite sure if i can make it work the way i want it to. i was basically trying to create a login portal so that the users at our company can have one place to login for all of our internal applications. well, right now - i can have each

I''ve been working with ActionMailer for a few days and finally have a pretty good grasp of it. In the book I''m reading, it shows how to send to multiple users or an array of users.

does anyone know much about resizing different versions of images with file_column? i tried it and everything works fine, but my question is can you do more than just make sizes with a version of image? i''m working on a photo album and i would like to resize the image to a medium size, but create a thumbnail as well and crop anything left to make the thumbnail a perfect square. --

could someone explain some of the uses for a web service. i''m reading about how to make them, but i''m still not quite sure what they''re good for. i have multiple rails apps that i would like to pass user information back and forth to. i''m not sure if something like this could help me or not. thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i''m still pretty new to rails, and while i''ve been able to hack my way into having it do what i want so far, i''m not happy with the way my code looks. on top of that, i''m sure that what i''m doing prlly isn''t the most efficient either. one of my biggest problems is probably to do with using relationships and forms together. i''ve

i have a taskmanager type of project that i am working on, where i need to separate joins on the same two tables. i need one join for users that are assigned to the task, and another join for who has read the task, so they can tell which ones are new. any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i have a copy of the typo source on my desktop that i am going through just to get a better understanding of the rails framework and ruby itself. i''m fairly new to everything so it has proved to be very helpful and very inspiring. i''m stuck on a part though. i was trying to figure out how everything on the sidebar works. i found the components folder and started looking

I installed RoR on my Mac with Tiger10.4. Everything seems to work fine. I installed it on my other mac using 10.3 and at first it worked fine, but when I started using apps with a database, sometimes the server crashes on certain pages. I''ve been trying to locate the source of the problem, but the crashes seem pretty random. I''m wondering if this has anything to do with the

i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i finally got it working, but it''s far from stable. it was recommended to me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up. being new to this stuff though, i''m not sure if there''s a lack of documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not known by a noob

after days and days of fighting back and forth with an apache/fastcgi environment, i found mongrel and was up and running smoothly in about 10 minutes. i''m having a hard time with something though. if i set up ProxyPass and ProxyPassRevers to the root of the site, everything works fine. however once i try to just use separate directories for all of my apps, none of the attachments

i just went through installing RoR on a cpanel setup and everything seems to work except for deployment. i go through the entire process of setting up a new rails app on a cpanel account and i get: Not Found The requested URL /testapp/index.html was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I set up a samba share on a fedora core 5 box. I am able to drag and drop files to it, but when I try to save from an app, I get a message saying disk is full. These are all XP home clients. When I tried to share from an XP pro client it worked. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks, Josh.

i am reading through chapter 20 of the agile web development book and trying to figure out how to use web services. i set up two different rails apps. one as the server and one as the client. setting up the server seems to work fine. but when i use the example at the end of the chapter to set up a client, i get the following error when i open the page: Missing API definition file in

i am reading Agile Web Development with Rails and i have some noob questions about it. i''ve gone through the depot application with hardly any problems and now i''m reading through the chapters that explain some of the deeper facets of rails. on chapter 14 it starts talking about active record. all the sudden, it''s showing examples of how to connect to the database.
