Hey Folks- I have just pushed a new release of BackgrounDRb to rubyforge. It has some nice new features to allow for usage of your ActiveRecord Models within your worker classes. I also added a config file for setting hosts and ports and if you want to load rails or not. Please have a look and let me know if anyone runs into any issues. If you already have an older version installed

ok, i was wrong. the failure on deployment using capistrano is 100% using these commands ## Our Handlers desc "Restart BackgrounDrb" task :restart_uploader, :roles => :app do run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb stop" run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb start" end here is the console post deploy on the remote server ######## [current]$

Hello there, I need a Worker Class to be Singleton-like, that means there must be at maximum one Instance at a time. When a new Request is made to create another worker of this type, it should return and wait for the other instance to be destroyed. what i need to do: i have a worker who needs to do sth with java and openoffice, and it seems when i have more tha one worker simultaneously,

Hi, nice work on BackgrounDrb! I have a question, though: What would be the best way to enable database access for a worker, preferably through ActiveRecord models. Background: I''m trying to write a worker that periodically gets data from an external source, writes it to the database and is then displayed by Rails. Anybody done something like this? Thanks in advance! ciao,

I''m looking for a way to give the user a progress monitor on large image manipulations with RMagick. I first looked at this method - http://www.imagemagick.org/RMagick/doc/imageattrs.html#monitor - to do it in a controller action, but since I can''t call multiple renders in an action, I would need to store the progress in the database and call another action from javascript to

Hi there, I''ve been digging around trying to find some information (mostly examples) on how one would handle a progress bar upload using BackgrounDRb and File Column. I did read http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ and Ezra''s blog of course, but I still have a few questions. I made a simple upload form (as a test) that is submitted to the "upload_song" action. def

Hello, maybe someone on this list can help me. I am trying to implement a sort of long database search. In order inform the user about what''s happening, status messages should be displayed to the user while the request is working. e.g. - starting search process - currently searching through database A - found 10 results - currently searching through database B - found 25 results -

Hi all Which is the fastest way to gsub a 5000 char string. i.e. big_string = "i am so <script>..3000char...</script>big<noscript>...2000 char...</noscript> gsub me!!!" # If i run: big_string.gsub(/<script(.|\s)*<\/script>/i, '' '').gsub(/<noscript>/, '' '').gsub(/</noscript>/, '' '')

Is there a RoR best practice wrt determing in a visitor''s browser has JS disabled? Is there even a way to find out? I''ve got a couple of pages in my app that are not going to degrade gracefully at all. I really need to point a visitor who has JS disabled down a seperate path. Any ideas?

I'm running NoScript because otherwise Firefox freezes up a lot. Recently I've had difficulty accessing a site. I suspect the reason is that it uses redirection in a way that frustrates my efforts to give it permission. To test the notion, I'm considering temporarily allowing script globally. How hard is it to reverse? Will I need to redo previous permissions one at a time? --

Hi, I looked in the documentation but i did not found any answer to the following question: Is there a mean to detect if the browser is actually capable to handle prototype ? I should write an simple HTML loader page (like gmail does) which checks if the browser is able to use prototype and then sets window.location depending on the test result. Is there a "standard" way to do this ?

Hi, folks, After I did a complete reinstall of current 7, with KDE instead of minimal, I'm mostly ok... except for Zoom. Has anyone gotten sound working with firefox? I get video, but it keeps claiming that my browser (the default firefox) can't access the system sound. Given that even as I type this, I'm streaming WUMB through its player.... I have noScript, but I

Hi all, Is it me or there are a lot of troubles with Firefox ESR 52.2.x and javascript ??? I face a lot of troubles with pages I used before correctly running javascript, since the update to firefox-52.2.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 on my EL7 laptop -- (?- Bernard Lheureux //\ Linux System Administrator v_/_ MailTo:bernard at lheureux.be

Previously when firefox went catatonic to the point that I could not even scroll, its CPU usage had gone to 100%+. Now top tells me that firefox, Web Content (with a space) or sometimes kswap... has process state D, uninterruptable sleep. Any suggestions on how to deal? I often have a lot of tabs open, so discovering the right one was hard enough before. Usually, it was something relatively new,
