Hi there. I am trying to fix hostnames in our Redhat distributions. Some of our server has some hostname un uppercase, and I need to change them into lowercase because people that use the server rather like lowercase hostnames... I did some basic work : Template : $ cat /var/puppet/templates/rh-network.erb # WARNING this file is autogenered by puppet. Any change there will # be

Hi, I often find myself using bits of code like this inside ActiveRecord, perhaps it''s useful for others, or others can improve on it: ########### # fix user input before validating it before_validation :sanitize_input # santize input before actual validation is called # this uses the little methods defined below def sanitize_input trim %w(adres postcode woonplaats email naam

I''m looking for the simplest way to *automatically* downcase the attribute names of Models mapped to legacy tables that use upper case. eg: class Workorder < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "WORKORDER" end which has "NAME" as an attribute can use "name" as an attribute. currently: workorder = Workorder.find(1) workorder.NAME # =>

I can consistently segfault the 0.10.4 gem, so I''m trying to get the subversion version working with hopes towards tracking the problem down. I have a fresh SVN checkout but: a) the version (in ferret.rb) claims to be 0.9.6; and b) Ferret::Index::FieldInfos and a couple other classes are missing at run time. It looks like this is because they''re not exported in the C

The following script creates a search index and then searches it. I get no results? Where am I going wrong? Thanks. -----------BEGIN SCRIPT---------------- require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret path = ''/tmp/myindex'' field_infos = Ferret::Index::FieldInfos.new() field_infos.add_field(:name, :store => :yes, :index => :yes)

I''m looking for the cleanest way to force the Rails framework to use a lower-case version of the table and column names in a database when creating records. I need this for a Rails application that displays the status of an existing backup system. The backup system (Bacula; Nice backup system, BTW) can use either Postgres or Mysql as its database engine. Unfortunately, the table and

I found a strange behavior in Rails 4 with scopes when I use postgres. I have a Object with saleStartDate and saleEndDate attributes. scope :active, -> { where(isActivate: true) } > scope :activeDate, -> { active.where("? BETWEEN saleStartDate AND > saleEndDate", Date.today)} When I use sqlite, all works when I want to get the object with the activeDate scope. When

Hi, I am new to ROR and learning it. In my controller I have an admins record and I am passing that admin object to the admin''s view page to get the name of the admin. But when I try to access the name it is showing error as "undefined method `name'' for :current_admin:Symbol".. Please help.. Please find my code below Sessions Controller def create

Hey .. The QueryParser RDoc page explains to me on how to search for a specific value in a specific field. This is not working the way i thought it should be, what am i doing wrong? Here''s an example .. I''m storing model data in the index like this: doc << Field.new( "object_id", object.id, Field::Store::YES) doc << Field.new( "type",

Hi ! (See references at the end) I have a slight problem. Whenever I save one of my domain models, which contains an has_and_belongs_to_many relationship with another one, the relationships are doubled. My domain is a series of pictures, where each picture can be tagged with one or more words. So, a picture of my dog could be tagged "Jordy, Dog, Dog 2005", for example. In my

I''m trying to get the following idea to work: <%= @column_names.each { |t| <td> t.downcase </td> <td> @listing.send(t.downcase)</td> } %> Essentially I want to display a form that has a left and right TD, with the left TD being a column name and the right TD being the column data. If there''s a better way (the Rails way ?), I''m all ears

I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday. Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or ''debian'', it is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you can still do comparisons

Hi I''m trying to follow the tutorial on xrcise at http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UsingXRCise But I keep getting the following error when I try to run the example; tutorial.rb:21:in `initialize'': undefined method ''upper_bt'' for #<CaseChangeFrame:0x2d610f8> (NoMethodError) from tutorial.rb:28:in `new'' from

I''m trying to implement a basic name search on a People table with separate first_name and last_name columns. I am using the will_paginate plugin and have the following search method in the model: def self.search(search, page) paginate :page => page, :conditions => ["lower(last_name) like ? or lower(first_name) like ?",

Hello all I am wondering how rails handles case sensitivity in databases. If I do a Person.find_all_by_name("tim") in mysql I would expect to get tim, TIm, and Tim. Do I only get tim in postgres? How do other people deal with this? Do you resort to find_by_sql for all your postgres queries to get case insensitive results?

Greetings! Is there some special syntax required to use the match operator (=~) in a find operation? Or is it not possible? I''ve got some data items from an external source that could be capitalized or not. So right now I''m stuck with doing: Item.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ? or name =?", Potatoes, potatoes]) I''d prefer to do:
