= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

This page: http://www.rails-engines.org/download makes it sound like SVN is optional for using engines, but when I try to run the second command ("ruby script/plugin install engines"), I get the NoMethodError on nil as described in the second issue reported here: http://www.rails-engines.org/wiki/pages/Engines+plugin%3A+Known+Issues So, which is it? Do I have to have SVN installed

I built out a simple CMS for websites that rely heavily on portfolios. This covers graphic and web designers in particular, but also other people with stuff to show off. It''s really easy to customize progressively, so that some people will only modify CSS, but others will dig deeper into Javascript behaviors and the Rails view code.

Hi! I've got a samba4 pdc, fileserver and whatnot running now for a few months, a number of users logs in there daily, everyone seems quite happy about it going. I've migrated my environment from samba3 NTdomain, where I had LDAP backend for users and I used that to authenticate other services against it: like pam on other servers and postgres DBs. I have succesully managed to do this as

In web applications that have user generated content, it is clearly necessary to provide some ability to ''escape'' user generated text to avoid SQL injection, XSS, and other nasty attacks. The existing dogma on this point seems to favor escaping text as it comes out of the database, rather than doing it on the way in. I''m not sure that I understand the logic behind

Hi, I use link_to_remote to create a link to trigger an ajax, things work fine, a new rhtml is created, however, the newly created rhtml doesn''t replace my old zone, it shows instead on top of my old zone...Does someone know why??? my code is like <table> <tr><td colspan="2"><a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater(''zone1'',

Rails/Postgres Gurus, Question: Is it possible to use Postgres schemas within a Rails app to separate tables and data between two different apps? Problem Set: I am thinking of combining two apps. I want to share some data (certain tables) between them, but I want the migrations and other activities to be separated. I don''t want any table changes in one app to impact the other.

Hello folks, I use to think that a relational databases without foreign keys constraints enforced strictly by the RDBMS were no good, piece of crap, data junk. However, I''ve also learned the hard way that FKs constraints imposes serious difficulties when moving data around, specially between different DBs, or for loading test data or for upgrading DBs schemas, or for porting DBs

trying to structure sql to merge two datasets. structure follows: dbs.possible.combos (all possible combinations of dates and places) Date Place 1/1/10 N-01 1/1/10 S-02 1/2/10 N-01 1/2/10 S-02 etc... dbs.aggregate (the raw data aggregated by date and location) Date Place Days 1/1/10 N-01 6 1/1/10 S-02 10 1/2/10 S-02 5 Trying to merge so I look-up the values for each possible combo dbs.final

I''m a newbie for RoR, and also web dev and database design (but been doing C++ apps for years). I''m trying to learn to use RoR and mySQL by doing a toy project. What I''m trying to do is a web base reservation app for lab machines. I have a number of machines, each can be reserved on hourly basis. So I set up a the following tables: users, machine, reservations. The

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

I am using the code below to extract census tract information. save.tract$state, save.tract$county and save.tract$tract are returned as factors. In the last three statements, I need to save the actual value of the factor, but, instead, the code is yielding the position of the factor. How do I instead return the value of the factor? By way of example, for Lon=-82.49574 and Lat=29.71495, the code

Hi, I''d like to call a background image for every item in a list. Something like div#nav li.submenu {background: url(dropmenu.gif) 95% 50% no-repeat;} the image is in public/images/dropmenu.gif Thanks, Peter

I just got an email update on a radrails bug that I submitted a while back... Unfortunately, it''s just stupid spammers. So, I tried to go to the radrails trac to delete the spam or at least report it, and their trac is puking python errors (including environment information) all over the page! I can''t seem to get to any pages with any contact info, so I''m trying

Hi everyone, Are there any Rails systems that are either: * Easily extensible to use a different auth store? * Use LDAP out of the box? Thanks, Sean

Hey all, I've been using ->add_database for a few years to tie sharded DBs together and it works great. Now, I want to be able to search across several DBs which aren't sharded, say: linux-DB, glibc-DB, freebsd-DB. I want to search for something across all of them, but prioritize results to favor one or some of those DBs over others. Is there a way to do that without reindexing? Or

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the common practice for handling multiple db users with fine grained privileges on multiple databases is. Against the often read guideline for rails users to keep with a single db as "more dbs don''t really make sense anyway", my opinion is that it DOES make sense to use more than one db schema for a number of reasons that I won''t

I''m tring to write a little function to indicate if a user is able to pay an invoice, I have my invoice model with: def canPay? if session[:user].id == self.consumer_id return true; else return false; end end as a method, but it gives the error: "undefined local variable or method `session'' for #<Invoice: 0xb7670928>" Right before
