I would like to schedule the email delivery dates and have the app send out email to registered users that opted for this service. Once scheduled, a monthly

Hi, I am new to ruby and to rails, but I like what I see so far. I have been working on a web app in java (servlets and JSPs) that, based on a request from the user, kicks off a thread in the background to perform a task (puts messages in an MQSeries queue). The thread object is stored in the session and I then allow the user to control the task from the browser(like stop it). Is the same

If you happen to have tried this, and have some workable code, send me an email. I''d rather not duplicate the effort.

Hello, I need to put a script in place for updating a local database with a remote resource periodically. It should be started alongside the server (or inside it, whatever) and be run as long as the server running my rails app is up an running. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I have thought of editing the environment.rb file and placing the call to the script trigger there, but I wonder

Im using the file_column plugin to upload files from my application. The problem I am encountering is that I have a form with 2 file upload fields and when I submnit that form with files selected, I would get a message from the browser(Firefox) saying that a script on the page is taking a long time to execute and whether I want to cancel it or continue. Whichever option I choose, only 1 file(PDF)

Does form_remote_tag supports multipart/form-data ? My form looks like this: <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => ''do_image_upload'' }, :html => { :enctype => ''multipart/form-data'' } %> <%= file_field ''image'', ''file_data'', :size => 32 %> <%= submit_tag

Hello, Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when a table from database changes? I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action exactly when the change is made.

I really want to try out file_column but the repository seems to be down for me. I added it to my repository list and script/plugin is unable to see anything in it. I downloaded an archive from the website but it is not clear to me which files need to be installed to which subdirs of my RoR project. Anyone else having this issue with the repository? I am able to see other repositorys no
