Haven''t been able to find a good enough answer on whether using sanitize() is enough to really protect me from XSS attacks I basically have a blog page that I want to allow people to display comments on but would like to allow html tags to be posted on the comments, these could html tags like the imageshack img tags, youtube player, photobucket img tags etc any other approaches or

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

I''m trying to dynamically create an instance of an object at runtime, from a String. I have a method that returns one of a number of Strings ("Car", "Motorcycle", "Bicycle"), and when I receive the String, I then want to instantiate one of those objects. Seems like there should be a way to do it in Ruby, but maybe I''ve been up too long --

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

hi all. we''re using the ruby/amazon library (http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml), which totally rocks. but i''m noticing that when nobody has used our site in a while (it''s under development, so basically nobody uses it at night), the ruby/amazon calls sometimes fail. seems like something times out, perhaps. anybody have similar issues, or know what might be

For those who cant access IRC, or just looking for a quick browser based alternative, i started an open jabber powered webchat for rails. Hopefully this will be a nice alternative for people to go to ask questions, get some help, offer some help, etc. I hope the community enjoys it, just trying to give a little back for all the hard work. It can be accessed here http://jabber.dufftech.com

I''m having an error from Linux via freeTDS/ODBC to SQL Server with cod that runs fine against SQLite and MySQL. Here''s the code: def find_recipes_for_workorder_by_id @recipe_pages, @recipes = paginate_with_sort :recipes, :per_page => 10, \ :conditions => ["recipe.workorder_id = ?", params [:workorder]] render :template =>

I''ve got a left join problem of some sort connecting from linux FreeTDS/ODBC to SQL Server. It''s similar to the false post I had earlier, but this is a real problem. Here''s my code: def find_recipes_for_workorder @recipe_pages, @recipes = paginate_with_sort :recipes, :per_page => 10, \ :joins => ''left join workorder on

This has me scratching my head: a Person has many Things a Person has many Collections a Collection has many Things ...Things in a Collection are ordered ...Things in a Collection can be related to (created by) any User ...a collection has additional attributes, such as a name etc I am confused about habtm in rails (especially when using acts_as_habtm_list) vs. going the :through route.

I created some scaffolding for an Address model and an Addresses controller. When running the functional tests for the addresses controller, I get this exception: "NameError: uninitialized constant Addres" The exception seems to start from this function: def list @address_pages, @addresses = paginate :address, :per_page => 10 end I''m guessing pluralization bug?

Hi, I''m trying to setup RoR on OpenBSD 3.9 with Ruby 1.8.4 and Apache 1.3. I''ve setup Rails to run as a Virtual Host, and I can view the "Welcome Aboard" page. When I try to access http://<server>/category/ though, I get an "Application error...Rails application failed to start properly" message. Apache.log has this error: [error] (2)No such file or

I''m running Apache2 with CGI and FastCGI alternatively. I''ve had a problem that I haven''t been able to find more than a single reference to online. When my .htaccess file has the CGI rewrite rule in effect, my Rails app works. When I change to FastCGI, all I get for Rails requests is the contents of the dispatch.fcgi file. Thinking I may have screwed something up

I''m trying to get my rails app running in regular cgi before moving to fcgi, but i''m getting premature end of script headers errors in my server log. I''m not sure how to debug this, and i would greatly appreciate some help. Of course when i browse to my app, it says: Rails application failed to start properly" So far i''ve done: I can run the console and

Something weird started happening to me right after the 1.1 came out. I have an app that has some ajax forms that I manipulate with RJS templates. Everything was working fine on my deployment server until Rails 1.1. It still works fine locally, but the ajax interaction just stopped working. Last night, with the help of FireBug (on of the best Firefox plugins ever), I noticed the problem. At

Hi all, I have a working ruby app that I developed on Window and I am trying to deploy it on Linox with Apache. The hosting company generated for me an empty rails app and I just replaced the files that I modified in my app (only rb/rhtml/css/js files). In addition I updatd the database.yml but now I am getting either page not found or Application error Rails application failed to start

Hi, I''m hoping someone can help me with my setup. I''ve installed ruby (1.8.2), gems (0.8.10), and rails (whatever was current as of about two days ago). I''ve got an app (been trying the Todo tutorial) setup under a virtual host as a subdomain (httpd.conf is setup according to directions in

I upgraded to Rails 1.2.1 and deployed to my ISP, who has 1.2.1 ready and waiting. The site disappeared into an HTTP 500 error. So I get into the site, run public/dispatch.cgi or dispatch.rb, and get this: # ./dispatch.rb Status: 400 Bad Request /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.0/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:405:in `to_constant_name'': Anonymous modules have no

The problem turned out to be fairly simple. The main problem: Apache handles the ScriptAlias directories so that all files are "executed" rather than served. I''m assuming also that Apache doesn''t bother looking at the .htaccess files therein, either. So instead, I had ''rails'' put everything into my web document area. The path issue seems to be
