similar to: Need feedback on Instiki-AR beta

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between i2 and instiki-ar? Is one preferred over the other? Also, instiki-ar has support for file uploads but it doesn''t look like i2 does. Is there any plan to add that support? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks. Steven Smith

Hi all, Sorry if I should be posting this elsewhere--I couldn''t find an Instiki specific mailing list, but the Instiki site is down. I wanted to mention that my friend Tim Lauer and I are going to be doing a short "high order bit" talk at the O''Reilly Emerging Technologies conference, describing a particular use of Instiki which we came up with:

Instiki 0.9.2 has arrived. * The notorious "rollbacks by crawlers" bug fixed. * Instiki is distributed as a gem (experimental) * New maintainer (yours truly) * Assorted other minor changes Best regards, Alexey Verkhovsky ============= Don''t shoot the pianist, he''s doing his best README Path: README Last Update: Fri Jan 07 10:06:43

hello, is the instiki project still being developed? it seems the web site is down for a couple of weeks now, and almost no activity is going on on the developer mailing list. on a related note, are you aware of other actively developed rails-based wikis? many thanks in advance.

Hello. I reeeeally want to get Instiki running at my day job, but they are Microsoft-heads. While I can probably sell them on trying Rails, they are definitely going to want the database to sit in our SQL Server instance with our other databases. I can''t get instiki to create the tables in sql server though (I''ve added ADO.rb, and gotten a connection). When I run the

Hi, Has anyone managed to get lighttpd to proxy requests through to an instiki running on another port? >From my lighttpd configuration: $HTTP["host"] == "wiki.railsapphosting.com" { proxy.balance = "hash" proxy.server = ( "" => ( ("host" => "206.222.22.155", "port" => 50074) )) } Instiki is bound to

One problem I sort of always had with the ActiveRecord''s tight coupling to the SQL backend is how slow it makes the unit tests. OK, there are some ways to make it faster at a price of extra complexity (reusing the fixtures, doing a rollback in the end of the test, etc), but still - it is much slower than what I would like a unit test to be. Today I had a very simple idea (why, oh why

Hi All, A co-worker passed this info on to me: http://37signals.com/svn/archives2/google_web_accelerator_hey_not_so_fast_an_alert_for_web_app_designers.php The Skinny: Google has a "Web Accelerator" that pre-caches pages by following url''s. If you have any plain/simple URL''s that don''t take paramaters (like what often happens in rails apps), it will try to

I am trying to do a tutorial improvement on the wiki but I am having some problems with the auto formatting. Using httdp.conf produces http://httpd.conf when filtered. Using *.so produces .so and bold text there after. Is there any shorthand for the user for making text appear as it should without the linking and re-writes? Or does the admin have to change the filters in Instiki? Tesla

Basically, we needed to authenticate against the cookie written by Ruby. It turns out that you can write a cookie for the entire TLD of *.example.com from Instiki (Rails). So, I changed the cookie writing code in the wiki_controller to the following. # app/controllers/wiki_controller.rb cookies[''ldap_username_2006''] = {:value =>emailaddress, :expires

Hi, I have this scenario. I have the full path of a page stored in the database (column ''path''). I want to be able to have very short urls for retrieving the pages, so i have this route in my map map.connect ''-/:title'', :controller => ''page'', :action => ''view_by_title'', :title => nil so when I go to

i know it''s probably really simple, how do i work out someone''s age if i have their d.o.b. stored as a date in my db. cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Am I missing something or is the Rails powered Instiki lacking the ability to actually compare the differences between changes in a page? ie: I want to see what changed between the current revision and the prior one.

I installed instiki and it works great. The default setting is to use ''textile'' markup engine and I love it. I love that if I just put google.com then it is convereted into a link. I have another app where I use Redcloth. Here in order to a link I need to do this. "Google.com":http://google.com It''s my understanding that instiki is using Redcloth as

Hello, I am currently working on implementing some authentification code onto Instiki (0.11.0). I am encountering a problem in this situation : When I try to access say http:/localhost:2500/orz/show/Test , where orz is an instiki web name, I am redirected to my signin form screen (which is what I want) but then upon signing in I get the following message: No url can be generated for the hash

Calgary Ruby Users Society (otherwise known as Association of Anonymous Java Programmers, Calgary branch) had it''s first meeting today. After a round of introductions, we discussed our interests and brainstormed possible activities for the group. Paul Rogers did a presentation on Watir [http://wtr.rubyforge.org/]. Watir is not just a great tool, but also a way to sneak Ruby into your

Hullo, fellow Railsers! (warning: this isn''t a 100% Rails specific question, but I guess it very much applies to what a lot of us are currently doing.) For a project that involves messageboard functionality I''m looking for a good way of sanitizing user input, so the silly fools, err, my wonderful users don''t mess things up too much. I''ve played around with

Hello, my name is Magnus and I am a RoR-newbie. I am trying to get the grip of ActiveRecord but I am having trouble to find good examples. I have been looking at this: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/AccessControlListExample Where you can find this Model code: require ''active_record'' class Permission < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end
