Hi all- I am building an application that includes a login screen. During development I found that user passwords are logged by Rails in plain text -- this will not be acceptable to my users.

Does anyone know if it is possible to perform an ActiveRecord find by passing in an array? I would like to be able to do the following: MyModel.find(:all, :conditions => ["user_id in (?)", users]) The problem I run into is that the returned SQL contains the to_s() output of the User object, not the ids of those users.

I have created the directory structure as follows: models |- module1 |- mymodel.rb And my model class code is: module Module1 class Mymodel ...some stuff end end How do I include this model in my controllers without referencing it as "Module1::Mymodel"? Also, how do I

Hi all- I would like to enable search in my application via Ferret and a number of my searchable classes contain dates (of type Time). When these classes are indexed, the dates are written per the standard to_s output (e.g. "Wed Dec 07 08:56:04 CDT 2006"), which is not suitable for date range queries. Is it possible to format the dates before they are indexed (e.g.
