I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

Hello, I have in my application a private public URL. For those who know Flickr, it is sorta like the URL you give to your friend for them to access your photos. Usually the URL looks like this: http://www.domain.com/url/khjuytf678ysdfksdgihsd Where "khjuytf678ysdfksdgihsd" is an encoded path. Let say I want to have a public-private page for:

When following the ONrails "Rolling on Ruby with Rails" tutorial part1 I (already) encountered the first complication. After doing those basic actions to set up the basic site, the tutorial tells me to overwrite the "list" method included in the "scaffold :recipe" method which we find in the recipe controller with this code: def list @recipes = recipe.find_all

And then I should be ready to roll with my project.. I have some fine tuning of the looks to do after, but funtionality first! This is probably a rails question.. but I''m not sure where to sign up for the rails questions email group? (I guess I turned this into a 2 question email). I''ll ask here and then if someone will send me the url of where I go to sign up for the rails

Hi, This is my second question on the poor performance of webrick (previously I had a problem with Ajax). I have a somewhat simple Rails application which works just fine, but when I come back to work the next day, the server responds with error 500. It looks like if it is running more than 12 hours, it''ll crap-out. I don''t use CVS (which I read on the web it is a common cause

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I''m trying to RJS some text into a text_area which may or may not have been written in by the user. if I page.insert_html :before, :after, :top, or :bottom, it either sticks the contents above or below the text box (but never in). If I do: page[:textboxid].value = "blah" it overwrites the contents of the textbox but doesn''t APPEND to it.

Hi all, New to the list, Ruby, & RoR. I''ve been going through the Rolling With Rails tutorial, but am getting the following error when the instructions tell you to add the @recipes = Recipe.find_all line to the RecipeController: Template is missing Missing template ./script/../config/..//app/views//recipe/index.rhtml The index.rhtml file is right where it''s supposed to

I''m having a problem getting this example from the book to work: class Cookbook attr_accessor :title, :author def initialize @recipes = [] end def method_missing(m, *args, &block) @recipes.send(m, *args, &block) end end cb = Cookbook.new cb << recipe_for_cake cb << recipe_for_chicken beef_dishes = cb.find_all {|recipes| recipe.main_ingredient ==

Hi I''m new to this forum and new to Rails so excuse me if this is a daft question. I''m following the ONLamp.com tuturial and all has been well untill changing the template for the recipes.

After *much* digging and playing around, I finally figured out how to unit test instance variables that are created by actions. It was more difficult than I expected. It seems like there should have been a more straight forward way to do this. Can someone enlighten me? A simplified and somewhat contrived example of what I am current doing: Thanks. Matt >> # My Controller of interest

#check_box and #check_box_tag are going to be the end of me. Why is this always checked? <% checked = @reservation.selected ? ''checked'' : nil %> <td><%= check_box_tag("reservation[" + @reservation.id.to_s + "][selected]", ''checked'', :checked => checked) %></td>

Hello, I''m currently stunk on this issue for few days and I do not know how to get it fixed. The system always raises this error message : order is closed and here is my order.rb: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base include ActiveMerchant::Billing before_validation :set_status attr_protected :id, :customer_ip, :status, :error_message, :updated_at, :created_at attr_accessor

This works : class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category end But (when I add validation) this does not work : class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category validates_length_of :category, :within => 6..20 validates_uniqueness_of :category, :message => "already exists" end thank you -- View this message in context:

How does one properly get find_all to grab the data from the DB table ordered by a specific column? For example: @anglers = Angler.find_all This code gets all the angler records and they are sorted in order of the id field which is of course set as a primary key in the DB (mysql). I''d really like to pull the data from the DB sorted in the order of another field, for example

I''m using Locomotive on MacOSX 10.4, and I have installed mysql 5.0.45. To my surprise, the Ruby version included in Locomotive does not come with the mysql gem installed, so I tried to install it manually. According to the instructions in database.yml, this should be done using the --include switch, like this: gem install mysql -- --include=/usr/local/lib I selected the mysql 2.7
