similar to: Interface with Flickr

When someone comments on my site, I would like to store the user''s name as a cookie, and display it the next time they return. I really don''t know how to do this. Does this use the cgi library? As most things with ruby, I would imagine it to be quite simple... could anyone post a code snippet as to how this would work??? Thanks... -- Posted via

I''m trying to automatically fill a "posted_by" text by with whoever is logged into the session. How do you set the value attribute using "<%= text_field ... %>"??? I''ve tried: <%= text_field ''post'', ''posted_by'', ''value'' => User.find(session[:user_id]).name.capitalize) %> But I get

I''m working on uploading my site to dreamhost. I just setup my production database, and gave it a host name. It said that it was successfully created. Now, it''s been like 25 minutes, and I still can''t connect to it. Is that normal? How can I get my tables created? Just wait it out? I''m trying to load it in the browser, and it says "server not

I''m trying to get my del.icio.us links to appear in the layout, so it''s throughout the entire application. I have the interface to the API working, I just don''t know where to put the code (in what controller?) and layout to be application wide. I tried putting the code in "application.rb" and then the view stuff in "application.rhtml" but that

I have a local version of the flickr.rb file installed and working properly, but apparently I''m having issues installing it on my Dreamhost server. So, does anyone know how to do it the normal way? Just interfacing directly with the flickr/api without using the gem ''flickr.rb''? Any tips in the right direction would help me tremendously! Thanks! -- Posted via

Does anyone know how long it will be until Dreamhost get''s the Rails 1.1 install running correctly? My site has been down since last night at about 7:00 pm (I think). It''s annoying, and are a lot of others having this problem too? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When a user posts a comment on my site, is there a way for me to be notified via email? I know this is pretty easy in php, i.e. mail() function, but I''m looking for the equivalent in Rails. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can someone guide me on the process of providing an RSS feed for my site? I''m not sure how to go about this. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

After I attempted to add ActionMailer functionality, it gave the "Application error (Rails)" and now, everything on my site works, except for the part where the Actionmailer ''would have'' sent the email. I took that out now, re-uploaded the file, and ran "killall -USR1 dispatch.fcgi" and still nothing. Everything else works, except that. Any idea what

hey, i am using the flickr wrapper for ruby and need to access the tags of a specific photo. i got all the rest working. i must admit i am kind of new to ruby, but i tried and tried and couldn''t figure it out. among other things i want to read geotags like in my example here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/whoisstan/146634506/ i''m sure it is deadsimple and i just overlooked it.

Can someone tell me how to store the current date/time when someone posts a comment on my blog? I could even update the comments table after the comment is saved in the controller, but I''m not sure how to do that either. Thanks for any help... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How can I have the page redirect_to the same page after someone posts a comment? I know that you can do "redirect_to :action => ''index''", but the page is located at this URL: /posts/2006/02/01/individual_post/ So, the action is "individual" which is in the "posts" controller, but there is a custom URL mapped for the URL shown above. How can

If I were to figure out how to develop an RSS feed for my blog, I should be able to test that locally right? If I go to http://mydomain.com/posts/feed/, what should I see? The XML output? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I haven''t had a chance to upload my app and configure dreamhost, but I did log in and create the folder using the "rails app_name" command. Now, my question is, I read online to do this: > cd domain.com > rails my_app_name So, I did just that. Rails will know what to do even though my application is in a sub-directory under "domain.com"? Essentially,

I''m having trouble with my Ajax comments, but only when someone clicks the submit button when there''s no comment. How can I handle this in my code? Do I use "rescue nil" or something? Here''s my controller: def comments content = Content.find(params[:id]) @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment]) content.comments << @comment

I want to append "#comment-1" or whatever, depending on the id to the end of my xml.link(" ... /#comment-1") attribute in my generated xml. Well, when I put: xml.link(" ... /#comment-" + comment.id) I get an Application error (rails) message when I look at the generated XML. This is what I''m doing without the id on the comments (its working fine):

This is how I''m posting comments currently. This works, but I read somewhere that I shouldn''t inject params right into my sql query, because it makes it easy for people to hack in and ruin the db. I''m not sure if this even makes sense, but I''ve tried other things, and can''t get anything else to work. #currently def comments content =

I''m trying to interface with the flickr API to pull my photos into my site. I don''t want to use the "flickr.rb" gem, I''d like to do it the other way so I can learn (plus I had trouble loading the gem on my server). Anyway, here''s what I have: #Application.rb controller def get_response(path, http) request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(path)

Currently sub(perl=TRUE) allows you to specify \U and \L in the replacement argument so that the rest of the subpatterns in the line (the \\<digit> things) will be converted to upper or lower case, respectively. perl also also has a \E operator to end these case conversions for the rest of the subpatterns (so they retain whatever case they had in the original text).
