similar to: have records expire after certain time?

I am using the standard login controller that ships with RoR to authenticate users in my application. In my app, Users belong to Clients, Clients have Projects that users are assigned to (stored in a stakeholder table with user_id and project_id columns) , then each project has a bunch of folders and assets (file uploads). So currently I have urls that look like /project/show/12 etc. I want

If @c is an instance for the User class and lets say I want to call @c.pictures, which would be the user''s pictures. How can I setup up RoR so that I could append the condition "status=''available''" to the conditions arguments EVERYTIME .pictures is called. This way I can only call available pictures Is there some kind of filter I can apply to the

Dear list, Is it possible to give a notification about password exprire warning to users authenticated by OpenLDAP when the users login via dovecot using IMAP or POP? For example, when you ssh to a server and/or run ldapsearch, you can be warned with password expire warning like below: # ssh testuser at localhost testuser at localhost's password: Your password will expire in 31 minute(s).

I''ve read through my RoR books and I can''t seem to find the solution. This is a pretty basic, easy, and practical application for RoR. If you guys know of any resources on the net to answer these questions let me know. Question 1: Basically, I have a many-to-many relationship that I want to add records to. I use something like this to add records in the A_B table:

In Samba 2.2.7a, 'password expire time' appears to be being ignored. When I run 'smbstatus' it says: Unknown parameter encountered: "password expire time" Ignoring unknown parameter "password expire time" What should I be using to force a password change every n days?

This might seem like a silly quesiton but it''s been baffling me all day! I want to copy all records matching certain criteria from table A to table B. I know how to do his with SQL but not with RoR. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi folks, when I run expire-tool, I often see messages like the following: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool Info: user/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri May 22 17:42:23 2009 the server's dovecot.conf contains the following line: expire = Trash 2 Junk 7 */News 30 */Reports 7 >From what I observe, an error of "expire time in future" in one

Hi, Very new to RoR; have been a flash developer for four years or so. I have an urgent question -- in the list.rhtml file, I only want to display certain columns instead of dumping out all the columns in the database. Could someone shed some light this topic? Thanks!!!

All, I have ordered AWDWR and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the meantime I still am playing with ROR using radrails. I have a few questions ... I create a table named customers with the following details: Field Type Null Key Default Extra id int(11) NO PRI auto_increment customer_name varchar(50) NO inbound_retention int(11) NO outbound_retention int(11) NO unix_admin_email

I would like include the ability for people to rate posts on my site from 1 to 5. I would like to then display the average rating for each post. To compute the average each time is obviously database and cpu intensive. I have been thinking about the best solution. I could certainly use a cache and expire it every x minutes. However, I don''t want to reinvent the wheel. Is there

Hello all. I am trying ot load table rows using AJAX based on a search. The following code results in: 1. Firefox renders correctly (Multiple rows inserted into page). 2. Opera renders the entire returned string in one <td> by the looks of it (Bunched up under first header, the <> tags arne''t visible) 3. IE6 does nothing....great ;) This is driving me nuts so any help

Good afternoon, I have been developing in mod_perl for many years, and my livelihood is based on being productive with it. I''ve spent the past week reading and testing RoR and it does look good. But before I take the plunge for my next project, I was hoping to hear from other mod_perl switchers. One of the main reasons I like mod_perl is code flexibility. I like being able to insert

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to

Hello all! I tried to add the expire-plugin to my dovecot-installation (CentOS-RPM: dovecot-1.1.1-2_76.el5) and followed the plugin-page from the WIKI (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire). Unfortunately I have problems with the dictionary: --> dovecot: Aug 05 13:30:25 Error: dict: Unknown dict module: db dovecot: Aug 05 13:30:25 Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary

- Have been away from RoR development for a couple of years. - Will be doing a new project soon, starting with RoR 3.1. - This site will be hosted on a dedicated user-controlled server inside their intranet, so this question is not about hosting services. - Expect about 100,000 page views a day, with a bit more spikiness than normal around some shift changes, so provisioning as if for 500,000

I''m looking at using RoR for a system tying in with a legacy DB that can''t be modified (other apps using etc). It uses stored procs extensively. Searching for some kind of a guide / tutorial etc for handling this kind of situation I''m only coming up with a bunch of 2 paragraph articles saying "RoR is great! but there might be some trouble with legacy systems".

Hello, I am new here and actually I am writing my first RoR app. My question is: -------- class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :messages end class Message < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :topic end class ForumController < ApplicationController def post message = Message.new(params[:message]) @topic = Topic.find(params[:id]) @topic.messages

I've set up Dovecot 2.0 with the expire plugin using an SQLite DB, and when mail is delivered via dovecto-lda, the DB gets updated as expected. However, when I use Thunderbird 3.1.2 for Mac OS X to move a message to any of the folders known to the expire plugin (e.g. the 'tmp' folder), the SQLite DB is not updated. Here is an excerpt of my current configuration: #

We are close to releasing a high-volume, multi-lingual, e-commerce site in Ruby on Rails that has previously been written in an alternative Java framework (e.g. servlets and JSP). This is a real-time 24/7 betting and gaming web site based out of Gibraltar in Europe. When we embarked on this project, we really wanted to find examples of other high-volume web sites that had adopted RoR. We did

I just had an interesting meeting with developers from other parts of my company. One of the things they said they really liked about Java- based solutions was the availability of sys-admin tools to monitor Java (probably J2EE) applications. Nothing comes to mind in the RoR camp to cover this. I''m sure there are plenty of generic tools for watching pings and log files, but is
