we''re in the process of setting up an openldap server, for unified unix and webapp authentication, and i''m trying to find a good equivalent of adduser that takes care of generating unique unix numerical uids. what are people using for this? [i''ve googled around and found http://prope.insa-lyon.fr/~ppollet/ldap/useradd.pl but it''s dated 2000] martin

I have the following quick-and-dirty hack in my model: def after_destroy # search for orphaned tags and delete them orphans = Resource.tags_count :count => ''= 0'' orphans.keys.each {|tag| Tags.find_by_name(''tag'').destroy} end It''s nice from a readable code perspective, but it seems inefficient - is there some way to do this with only one

I was thinking, if I don''t manage to figure out the problem with acts_as_taggable, that I could untag objects via a direct SQL DELETE on the tag join table (something like "where tag_id = tag_to_delete and user_id = current_user"). Are there any dangers to this approach? martin

Is there a wiki around anywhere? martin

Setup as follows: class Resource < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user validates_presence_of :filename validates_uniqueness_of :filename, :scope => "user_id", :message => "already exists, try uploading another file or deleting first." acts_as_taggable :join_class_name => ''TagResource''

How do I do the following: if a user is logged in, then opens another browser tab and logs in again (either as himself or as someone else), I want to invalidate the session in the first tab and throw up a "logged in from another browser window" screen. RIght now, user1''s session silently becomes a duplicate user2 session instead (from what I understand, sessions are bound to

Hi all It like my visitors to be able to upload a zip file (or any other possible compressed file archive) to my server. After upload, my web app should extract the content to the server and delete the zip file. Is this possible somehow? I''m very thankful for help. Have a nice weekend, Joshua -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to monitor a folder and when someone drops a file in there I can take the files name and add it to a database. My dream is to have a folder always being watched. and if someone drops a file or folders with files into that watched folder, I take the filename(s) and insert them into a db and if the files are in folder I use the folder name(s) as tags for that file. make sense?

I want to set my app up to prevent multiple simultaneous logins by the same user. What strategies are people using? Is it worth going to database session storage just for this? martin

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

I''m having problems with filenames being mangled when uploaded - usually truncated either upto or after some problematic character. Here''s an example: Filename in filesystem: s+o~1@#%^&*()_-=[]{};:''".txt uploadedfile#original_filename: s+o~1@#%^&*()_-=[]{} Is this a rails/cgi.rb issue or a browser one? I note that gmail''s "attach file"

I''m using zentest and the test::rails class to do my controller testing, and the following line in my controller throws an error: session.model.user_id = user.id It looks like session is just a hash when testing, which would be well and good except that now I have to write if session.respond_to?(:model) session.model.user_id = user.id end which doesn''t feel right to me

Every now and then, mysqld (5.0.22) jumps to 95%+ cpu usage and stays there. Seems to be a common issue, as far as google can tell, but details are alarmingly vague, and some people seem to suggest that it''s a bad query causing it. How do I go about determining if it''s something my application is doing? martin

I''m currently using the acts_as_taggable gem; are there any advantages to switching to the plugin? martin

I need to have a daemon read from and write to the database, and it would be nice to be able to use ActiveRecord and all the model/* files from my rails project rather than doing things the long way. Is there any recommended strategy for that? martin

How do you access something you''ve passed to a partial in the locals hash? <% for file in @file_list %> <tr id="file_row_<%= file[0].id %>"> <%= render_no_layout :template => "/shared/_file", :locals => { :file => file } %> </tr> <% end %> but when rendering the shared/_file.rhtml template it complains about
