...d Ferret index files from Windows machine on my Mac G5 Leopard machine, but the following returns nil: Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new( index_paths ) Should this work? Are index files guaranteed to be platform independent or not? Is there any problem if files (top direectory) are renamed? izidor P.S. I can create the index myself and then everything works.

...ils VPS sysadmin? I didn''t do any professional sysadmin work, though I did development on/for Unix with vi/make and am familiar with Unix (old bsd/sysv, next, and currently macosx). And I am in the ''vi'' camp, not ''emacs'' :-) Thanks for any info, izidor

Hi all, I''ve got a rather complex problem on my hands. I''m using Leopard (OSX 10.5) on an Intel Mac, with the standard Ruby and Rails installations. In order to get Rails to talk to Oracle, I upgraded the Rails gems to the latest release candidate (1.99), and installed the oracle adapter gem. So far so good. But the Oracle InstantClient is a PPC-only library. You

...sion less than 1.3. Instead of original condition I propose this one: if @request.xhr? and @request.env[''HTTP_USER_AGENT''] =~ / AppleWebKit\/(\d+)/ and $1.to_i < 312 Julian, if you want to include these solutions into your plugin, feel free to do so.... Regards, Izidor Jerebic

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?! If only I could pass the sub-collection account = ... @projects = account.project to paginate, instead of letting it extract it with a find :all + sql conditions Alain. -- Posted via

Hi Railers, For some time now I''ve been looking for a decent Rails equivalent of PHP''s "htmlentities" command, because ERB''s html_escape (or more commonly called as just "h", eg. <%=h @somevariable %> ) just doesn''t go far enough for me. Back in PHP land, I actually had an extended version of the htmlentities command to deal with

...result documents from the query on the first index and apply filter on them (i.e. remove from result set if not available), to get correct result count and paging behaviour. At the first look this "joining" is not possible with Ferret. Or is it? Please, can somebody enlighten me, izidor

Hi, as I just discovered, in recent versions of rsync the "--delete" option seems to not work in certain cases. I couldn't come up with a simple scenario to reproduce the problem, so I'll have to tell the whole story: I use rsync to regularly backup a system onto other disks. The filesystems I want to save are mounted on "/", "/usr/ and "/data", the

To preface, I'm running Leopard OSX and am using rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29. Whenever I attempt to sync (using rsync obviously) a folder on my local drive to my web server (netfirms.com is my web host) using SSH, the process hangs. I have to force kill it in order to continue using Terminal. I can connect to my server space using SSH just fine by itself, and I ran

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and Ruby, and have been working my way through the Pickaxe and Agile Rails books for the last week or so. With a background in payroll apps I found that the default ActiveRecord mapping of decimal columns to float variables really bothered me! Financial calcs need high levels of accuracy and floats just don''t give you that. I know there are a bunch

I''d like to propsoe that the RubyOnRails mailing list forks into three lists. PROBLEM: * The list is getting swamped with traffic, making it hard to use and even harder to follow. * Many, many messages get lost, with no reply. * Due to the overwhelming traffic, it''s hard for beginners to get the help that they need, since their messages get lost in the shuffle, and
