I''m about to implement this, and I''m thinking of storing the user''s id and their hashed password in the cookie after a successful authentication. can any see an obvious security issue with this? I know the method is vulnerable to cookie theft but am i missing anything? thanks alan

I''ve written a simple replacement (not extension) of Ruby''s array class with some added functionality. I defined it in array.rb and put the file in rails_root/lib but when i fire up the console the class isn''t being loaded. How can I have my class automatically loaded and used instead of the built in Ruby class?

hi all my app has two languages, I''m using gettext to manage them and so far so good. My question is about maintenance. If I fix a typo in a _() enclosed string, for example in an rhtml file, then the translated version of that string will no longer be valid will it? even if the translation itself had no errors. Is that the case and if so will i be forced to have the _() string

I''ve written my app already. It outputs valid xhtml and I need a stylesheet to drop over the top. How hard is it for people to understand that? It''s a small project, they''d have to do the main design/layout, and then a little custom styling for some specific elements which don''t appear on every page. That''s the point of CSS right? write once, use

If I am validating an object before it is saved and do a find(:all) of that object class, will the object which is being validated be returned by the find method? something like: class Resource < ActiveRecord::Base def validate resources = Resource.find(:all) ..do stuff end Will the object I am validating be in the ''resources'' array? Thanks in advance, Don Mc --

before I started building my latest rails app, I made the decision to make good use of ajax. My reasonsing was that users would benefit from the quicker page updates - the application provides various different types of insurance quotes, and has several multi-page forms and reports that can be drilled down 5 or 6 levels deep in some cases - so it seemed like a good candidate for ajax Now

Hi, how can I get the current URL withing a controller? There seems to be no appropriate method in ActionController::Base. I''m creating a site, which requires a login for some pages. I''m using before_filter for authentication. My idea was to store the currect URL in a session before redirecting to the login page and then redirect to this URL after successful authenfication.

I have lots of tests which rely on fixtures being a particular state in order to pass. For example, one test checks that a User object can have no more than 3 associated ''Page'' objects at a time. That''s a simple example but I have more complicated tests too. The problem is I sometimes add a fixture without realising it''ll affect the tests and everything

Hi, I have a problem with my Samba/WinBIND implementation. In folders shared by multiple people the last one to access and modify a file takes ownership of the file and changes the permissions so other users cannot make changes to the same file: [root@atlas PLANNING RECORDS]# cd REGIONAL\ 1\ AIRLINE\ DOCS/ [root@atlas REGIONAL 1 AIRLINE DOCS]# ls -al total 1232 drwxrws---+ 8 root

My samba shares aren't working with ACL access since the upgrade.

OK. Everything is going great for 4 years on my FC3 Samba Version 3.0.3-5. Now all of a sudden, when someone opens a Word/Excel file on a Samba share, it changes the user Owner to that user as well as modifies the permissions to r-x and leaves the group/permission bits/owner setting alone. I have the root directories for all shares with the u and g sticky bits set on, but it is not enforcing
