similar to: random numbers/characters for a spam preventer

I want to create a random string of length n that is made up of characters and integers. Is there a function in rails or ruby that allows me to do this? Thank you my friend :-).

Hello Everyone, I was wondering what people on this list were using to generate captchas within forms on sites they are developing? I know there is a ruby gem named captcha, but I have seen some others floating around as well. Thanks, Andrew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello Rails, I have a problem. I would like to use captcha in one of my project. When I did try to install, this is what I got $ sudo gem install captcha Building native extensions. This could take a while...

How often is the authenticity token updated? The latest error that I got was a submittal of a form, an model validation occured, I click back, make the correction, resubmit the form, then I get an InvalidAuthenticityToken error. Somewhat off topic If a person is using the authenticity tokens is there still a need to use some sort of captcha? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Some blog sites and others (ticketmaster, for example) require you to read a graphical representation of a word or number to prevent a form from being submitted programmatically. I''d like to do something similar on a new site I''m building. Two quick questions: 1. Is there a standard term for these graphical representations? i.e. how would I do a google search for this

This is a high traffic list as it is and it is really annoying to see that SPAM is on the rise here. I wonder how they can spam the list since each user has to be authenticated.

Thank you very much. -bakki

I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank.

In the past I''ve used similar "on-demand fetchings" in desktop apps and it was a real blessing (the

Hey .. The QueryParser RDoc page explains to me on how to search for a specific value in a specific field. This is not working the way i thought it should be, what am i doing wrong?
