Hi there everyone I have created a blog using RoR, this being my 4th application that I have created. It''s all a learning curve and I am enjoying the framework much better that JSP. I would like to add onto the application a few things. Here is what I would like to do 1 - enter the blog 2 - once blog is entered, search the text for a list of pre-defined words, to be stored in a database (e.g. afraid, bored, curious, depressed, eager) and highlight them in a different colour (red) 3 - attach a score to each word found from 1 to 10, that the user enters in a pane to the side of the blog 4 - insert this number in a different colour (blue) after the word 5 - count the frequency of the word over time for each user (for example, have a page that displays the words and their frequency - so that I can see how many times this week I have used the word bored) 6 - be able to query the database externally for the number 5 requirement If anyone can give me some database and MVC help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
