Hello, I need a HTML rich text editor for a field, and widgEditor seems to be just what I need: http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/widgEditor/ I''ve installed it, following the Aidanf.net''s post: http://www.aidanf.net/adding-a-rich-text-editor-to-your-rails-application But althougth it displays well, I can''t write inside; as if it was Read-only!! I can''t even copy. I suspect that maybe widgEditor doesn''t work with rails 2.0.2, but it''...

In http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial there is a string called require ''digest/sha1'' in the model. What does it do? Everything else is well explained besides that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I have a rails app running on mongrel on freebsd using mongrel 0.3.13.3 with ruby 1.8.4. Mongrel dies every time the application generates an exception. I have the same setup running on a linux box without any problems.

Hi all, Is there a way in vpim to edit an individual field in a vcard. I have a set of vcards stored in a db and would like to be able to edit individual fields in the vcard and then save the vcard back to the db. I didn''t see any methods for editing a vcard in the api. Do I need to create a new vcard and repopulate it with all the fields except the one that I''m changing and

Hi Guys, So creating a forums application seems like something that rails can handle easily and well, and whatever implementation that came to fruition would be head and shoulders above existing products like vBulliten and phpBB. Even the existing rails forums are using php-based forum products! An insult if you ask me. So my question -- is there any current development of a rails-based

Not sure if I want to build my own or use something already built that''s out there. This is the first step in my project though and a major one, so some of my requirements would be: 1-The ability for a user to register themselves 2-Email / link activation 3-Access levels (or ACL control - I think they are basically the same). 4-The ability to track users either through session or cookies

I am a the point now where I have to add user authentification to my application. Anyone can point me toward an easy to use / secure library? I know about ActiveRBAC and was wondering if there is anything else that I should consider. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Newbie to RoR -- as a long time Java Struts/etc. guy it is an awesome tool! I have implemented some basic login/session stuff with the help of a great tutorial, props to the author ( http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial). I have a trivial instance method in ApplicationController, which just grabs the User object from the session. def current_user session[:user] end So I can of course call this from within any subclass controller. All I am now trying to do is imple...

...or the life of me, I can''t seem to figure out why the two would behave any differently. I can provide more (surrounding) code if necessary, but it was already getting pretty long . . .

I would like to knock up a phpbb forum with a rails application. I wanted to do this as I want to use ActiveRecord to crawl through the user database in the rails app. Is there a way to do this - on the same domain name and server... Or does it depend how the server is setup? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is a little off topic but someone here knows, I''m sure... Does anyone have a good site to find freely available standard icons for things like add/edit/delete/save? I''m looking for a set of clean and simple matching icons that capture that Railsy-Web 2.0 feel... Maybe icons aren''t Railsy... Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, Is there a common way of stripping html tags from a string? Right now I''m just calling gsub!(/<.*?>/, ''''), but with a background in PHP and always having used its strip_tags() method, I wonder if the Rails community has standardized this fairly common task with something a bit less simpleminded than my quick fix.

Hi all, I''ve upgraded my system to Rails 1.1.1 successfully. After much looking I haven''t found out how to migrate an existing application to a new rails version though. What is the procedure, if any, for upgrading the application I''ve developed in 1.0? Is there a script I need to run? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I noticed that rails helper methods are adding extra info to the generated links whereas previously they didn''t. Here are some examples: <link href="/stylesheets/styles.css?1150398928" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="/javascripts/prototype.js?1148640823"
