Hello Everybody, I picked up on the buzz about RoR and wanted to see what the fuss is about. So far i am very impressed but have hit a bit of a wall with a little play app i am writting. I want to iterate through a CSV file of my bank transactions and see just how much money i spend on beer and pies every month. I have successfully setup a database with a single table called transactions

I am using fastercsv to process input files. I want to install it into my app/vendor directory as a gem (I guess). I used ''rake rails:freeze:gems'' to get rails into the vender dir. But I cannot find any doc on how to do it for fastercsv or any third-party gem. Any help appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I await Luke''s node settings implementation with interest. At the moment however, I have this sort of ugliness: $site = $hostname ? { fred => "opsera", barney => "bedrock", default => "unknown site", ... } So I''ve knocked up this little function to use CSV files instead. Now I can just do: $site =

Hi, I recently upgraded from Rails 1.2.6 to Rails 2.0.2 and an application which used to correctly display European characters from an Oracle database (Win-1252) now screws them up. I previously had to convert from Win-1252 to UTF-8 for generating ODT files (OpenOffice) via Documatic. But I never had to do any conversion just to display the content in my Flex front-end. Has anything changed in

Hi folks, I am pleased to announce that Mike Milner and I have finished the Ruport Book. We have published it under our own company (Rinara Press LLC) through Lulu. With the help of the Ruport community, we''ve refined the book over the last few weeks to meet the needs of our users.

Hi all, I was wondering how you guys generate reports from rails. I want to generate business reports in pdf format, and was wondering what you guys use.

Is it possible to generate good looking business reports with ruport? What other

anyone know to make ruport to work in rails?

I''m trying to grab a CSV file from a user and let them upload it directly to my database, but doing some minor checks on the data before saving. Which is the easier way to implement this? CSV or FasterCSV? I saw that perhaps there were some issues with FasterCSV and csv files created from Mac versions of Excel. Anyone have any experience with this and can recommend a newbie friendly

I''m using fastercsv such that in my rake file I''m doing this. require ''fastercsv'' It works fine on my Mac. I need to freeze this gem into the app though so my rake tasks work on the production machine. ----------- I spent about two hours though this weekend trying to get this Gem "frozen" into the vendor/gems folder. I tried all sorts, I ... -

All, This may be a gem question (not rails) but I feel sure someone else on this list has seen this issue go by. I use a hosting service that has ROR available, but I am among the few developers using it. I am developing on a local linux box, and have been very careful to NOT use any extra gems because I might have a problem with my provider. Well ... fastercsv rocks and I wanted to use it. My

Hello everyone, Has anyone linked Rails to a report generator such as Jasper Reports (http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/)? At the moment, I think I need something along these lines for a project I''m working on, so it''d be nice to know if anyone''s used it before before I bring it up as a suggestion. Doesn''t have to be JasperReports, and in fact I''d

Here''s an idea we might want to look at just after we do the alpha release: http://ruport.infogami.com/RuportDay2006 The basic premise is 24 hours of testing, debugging and coding focused on one app. They announced to the ruby mailing lists and have prizes they arranged (Could we get a sponsor? I don''t know.) Personally, I think prize money opens a can of worms. But a

For some reason, I''ve posted this question to this forum 4 times now and it never appears in the daily consolidated email I get daily? I''ve written a routine allowing the client user to declare where their .csv import file resides and then send it to the server to import the many rows into an existing model table, and then throw it away. I''ve imported many graphic files
