I''m trying to create a basic web page where people can register. Before they are approved they are emailed a link where that they must click in order to verify their info is correct (or at least their email). Should I use acts as authenticated or the login engine for this? http://technoweenie.stikipad.com/plugins/show/Acts+as+Authenticated http://rails-engines.org/login_engine TIA

I am using this line on my index.rhtml page to capture the quantity required of a particular item for a basic shopping cart app: <%= text_field ''line_item'', ''quantity'', {:size=>3} %> </td> but my next screen (a cart screen) doesn''t reflect what was entered in that text field when the item is added to the cart. That is,

I wanted to add a mash up to my website and was wondering if there were any recommendations? I saw that there is a cartographer plugin (http://cartographer.rubyforge.org/) and also something else called YM4R (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/YM4R). I have no idea if they are up to date or not or whether this is currently the easiest/best way to go about it short of rolling your own.

In my database I have a products table that has a bunch of attributes (title, description, etc) including one for date_expires. Is there a best practices method to get the database to erase the expired items? Is that done outside RoR via Cron or something? Else is it better to just have my app filter out anything that is expired but still keep those records in my dbase? -- Posted via

I have a primary layout that I''m using in several controllers. On my sidebar I have a link that I set up as follows: <div id="sidebar"> <%= link_to("Items", :action => "list") %> </div> Everything is ok when I call it from my primary controller, but since I am also calling the layout from a second controller that does

I have a webserver that''s happily running apache2 and PHP. I''d like to deploy a site that I wrote using RoR on that same server but read that there might be some conflicts with PHP and RoR trying to access the same MySQL database. How real are those conflicts? Could I mess up my running PHP site if I install mod_ruby and try to use Apache2? Would I be better off

I wrote a small controller to find all the expired items and destroy them: @listtodestroy=Product.find(:all, :conditions => [''user_id = ? AND date_expires <= ?'', @user.id, Time.now]) for product in @listtodestroy product.destroy end It works fine but there''s no warning that everything is about to be removed like when I call product.destroy

I was going through the syntax on this site: http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/ref_c_string.html trying to figure out how to parse my tags. Basically I have a tags field that returns a value a = ''new york'' table I want to parse it so that I grab the new york and the table but the only way I know to do it is with scan such as: <%a=st.scan(/\w+/)%> which returns three

My site is working but every time I quit Firefox and go back I seem to have been logged out. Is there a setting somewhere that I can alter to keep the user logged in longer? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a simple div in my layout that I would like to change depending on the action. For instance in the account/signup I would like it to use <div id="register"> but in account/login I would like it to use <div id="login"> I''m trying to find the right if statement to use here.. I thought that maybe: if :action => login would work but it

The index page of my rails app grabs an rss feed from a neighboring news site. Unfortunately, the process of grabbing that feed seems to be slowing down the initial load time of my site to the point where it takes about 10-12 seconds to respond and render. I''d like to speed that up somehow (for 8-10 seconds it looks like my server is not responding at all..) Any suggestions? I

I have a multi-city application set up and right now the city is set by a session variable: if @user.city.to_s==''3'' session[:city]="nyc" redirect_to(:controller => "users", :action => "nycindex") Is it possible to map a specific URL to that same action? e.g. ny.foo.com would set @user.city.to_s

It looks like my lighttpd server crashed yesterday. The only thing I found of interest is that the last request in my production log was from somebody looking for a URL that doesn''t exist in my app. I should probably fix it with routes, right? Can somebody help me understand how to route all 404 errors back to the index page? Also, where should I put a rescue for

There are a few controllers, such as search, that I don''t mind people accessing regardless of whether they are logged in or logged out. My current view just has some static links on the left that say Login and Logout. How should I set it up so that it says Login when not logged in and log out when logged
