I am the developer of FreeMIS - an Open Source management information system for schools. It currently holds the data for one school - so different schools host different instances of FreeMIS. I would like to expand the domain of a single instance of FreeMIS, so that it covers all the schools in an education authority. THis will enable me to implement authority-wide functionality. Is there

I finally managed to use subdomains as account keys, just as in tadalist. Now I have an "account" variable in all my controllers, and was thinking about what implications I''m going to have on security, because the accounts table contains all account crypted passwords (of course). Is it secure or not ? David ? :) -- checking for life_signs in -lKenny... no Oh my god, make (1)

Im writing a app, and i wanted to have something like basecamp urls for a account of the user of the user.

Ive tried multiple ideas to get this to work, but keep hitting a dead end. Has anyone done this before? I want joe.domain.com to display www.domain.com/profile/joe Im using lighttpd. Routes dont have access to the URL string and therefore I cant code in a conditional. lighttpd rewrite seems to really screw it all up. Is there a feasible solution? Thank you, Joe Noon

hi, how to create a subdomain outside the public directory and how to redirect to the subdomain -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

My app uses account_location to set up subdomains as account keys. In my controllers, all my model operations are scoped through the @current_person object. The question is: How do I test this with RSpec''s mocking and stubbing? Basically, I need to test that @current_person.things is getting the find message and returning @thing. I''ve tried stubbing and mocking

I''m using the simple account_location plugin to have virtual subdomains on my app (account.myapp.com - see Basecamp, Blinksale, etc.) How do you go about setting up your OS X system to play nice? I''d like to use Apache & Mongrel. Notes: The only thing I''ve able to accomplish is hardcoding the subdomains directly in my hosts file. I can get

I have tried all night trying to find a way to get the host name which is currently being used within my routes.rb file to do some case/when switching for specific domains such as this cgi = ActionController::CgiRequest.new(CGI.new) case cgi.domain(1) when /www/ map.connect '''', :controller => ''public'', :action => ''index'' when

Hello folks, I''m new to the Rails framework and don''t know where to look to find my answer. Here is the question, Is there a way to set multiple domain name for *a* rails application, and base on the URL do the work in the app. Imagine I have a user based document management system, each user want to access to her docs using her domain, but I don''t like to have many

Hi, I''ve previously described one of my wish list items, http://kleb.tadalist.com/lists/public/427170 in http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/217068 where I basically take a hash of hashes and create a set of tabbed dialogs for each key of the large hash where each tab has a form to set each key-value pair of the embedded hashes. Toward this end I looked

Hello all, There seems to be a bug in internet explorer 5 where a redirect causes the session to be lost. A controller says.... def login case @request.method when :post if @session[:user] = User.authenticate(@params [:user_login], @params[:user_password]) return redirect_to(:action=>''send_confirmation'') unless

Hi. I want to add subdomains like this: Example: http://shirts.myshopify.com , http://computers.myshopify.com Is it something you can do while still in development mode or do you wait until you deploy and configure the subdomain names with your host somehow? Can you help direct me in the right way to do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, Cant find any information this anywhere so was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Basically when you go to basecamp.com it allows you to sign up for a account and gives you a url username.projectpath.com I was just wondering how they do this, and if each account has there own database or if it is all stored in one. thanks scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

So, I have a User has_many :profiles. The most recently dated profile is considered the current one. I need to sort these users by name, but the name attribute is a member of the associated table. Is there any easy way to do this other than with some ugly find_by_sql? Maybe a more general question - is there a common solution to sorting in Ruby? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, This should be really simple, but i cant seem to find the answer anywhere!! In my _form.rhtml I have the following text field, how can I define a default value? <%= text_field ''purchaseorder'', ''number'' %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all - I''d like to implement a lookup table in my app that contains some reference data, just some status codes and their descriptions. What''s the most appropriate approach according to the "rails way" of doing things? Would I just implement a has_many relationship? Let''s say these are Order status codes, would the StatusCode have many Orders? This

I have a simple method in a model, to send out e-mails via the script/runner. def Reminder.dropoff @messages = Reminder.find(:all, :conditions => [ "time < now()"]) @messages.each do |mes| Mailman::deliver_send_message(mes) end end However, it''s not sending e-mails. When this exact code was dropped in a controller, it worked great... is there

So, I''ve written a partial that does some stuff with a given instance of my class "entity". Entity is ActiveRecord. I''m able to retrieve all sorts of data from an @entity, until I do something like: <% for @attribute in @entity.attributes %> <div id="attribute_<%= @attribute.id %>"> <%= render(:partial =>

For a really long time, I''ve been using DBDesigner from FabForce.net. For those of your who''ve never used it, its a freeware visual entity-relationship diagram tool, which allows you to make database designs visually instead of in SQL DDL. You can then use it to generate the SQL to make your databse design into reality, or even run a "synchronize" to make any

If I browse to \myRoRApp, I get the "Welcome aboard" screen. I''ve done the ruby scripts/generate controller MyTest, and "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" tells me I should be able to browse to \myRoRApp\MyTest and see an error page, but what I''m actually seeing is a fastcgi config file! I have installed fastcgi, but apache can''t "see" the
