Hello to all Rubyist and Railist ;) I''m looking for people to start a blog-project, write about Rails and with its related subject. Or if anyone have a blog that I can join in and write some articles? Greetings, Chris Dorner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

Using File.size(myfile) I can get the size of the uploaded file in _bytes_. Does anybody know of a function to convert bytes into a more human readable format? If I had a wish list for a "file_size_in_words()" function, it would do this: 10752 bytes becomes "10.5 Kilobytes". 2213814 bytes becomes "2.1 Megabytes". 238 bytes becomes "Less Than 1 Kilobyte".

Hi Everyone, This is a small release that fixes a little bug, some of the documentation, and adds the new RedirectHandler code and a @redirect@ call for the mongrel.conf files. It''s fresh so don''t rely on it. Everyone should upgrade with the usual *gem update* command (which tells you it''s "Upgrading...") and tell me how it works. This release fixes: * The

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

Hello, I have a fresh install of Mandrake 8.2 which comes with Samba 2.2.3a. I wish to upgrade to Samba 2.2.5, however, I cannot find the correct RPM to do so. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Robert Dempsey

Hello all, An interesting problem, I am developing on Windows, another developer is using Unix, and our app and svn repository are running on a Linux box. We need an easy way to not keep breaking our app and each others development environs when we check in the code. The piece in question is the dispatch.fcgi. The path to ruby is (obviously) different in Windows and Unix. Has anyone run into

Can someone who knows please explain how compatible with AD Winbind is and specifically what advantages the new 3.0 version of Samba provides. I've looked at the release notes but I appear to be able to quite happily access domain accounts/groups etc, browsing and so on with a RH 7.3 machine on my Win2K domain using winbind and am not sure whether it is worth trialling V3. regards, Toby

This is a little off topic but someone here knows, I''m sure... Does anyone have a good site to find freely available standard icons for things like add/edit/delete/save? I''m looking for a set of clean and simple matching icons that capture that Railsy-Web 2.0 feel... Maybe icons aren''t Railsy... Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello all, I''m looking to setup a simple network "pasteboard" for files within my organization, to circumvent people trying to email 50 meg files and me being unwilling to open up our mail server for massive email transfers. I''ve seen the pasteboard idea elsewhere where you can go and paste code or log files or whatever, and then they just fall off an hour or a day

Hi, I''ve been learning about building Rails apps for about 8 months but I don''t really know how servers work or how to build a server. I have an old 450 GHz Pentium computer I can play with. Since I use OS X, I was thinking about installing a BSD system and trying to make a MySQL/Rails server. That is about all I know about servers. How does a server in my house get connected

Hello all, Thank you in advance for your help with this. I am trying to implement the user authentication method from Ruby Recipes which calls for the use of SHA 2. Here is the code for the password: def password=(pass) salt = [Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack("m").chomp self.password_salt, self.password_hash = salt, Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt) end I open

Hi. I''m a fairly new mongrel user and have a scenario that I wanted to run by you all, see if anyone''s synapses connect -- mine def. aren''t! I''m running a fairly simple rails app through a mongrel cluster (2 mongrels). This site is consistently sloooow -- memory on the server is regularly paging (and shouldn''t be). ssh-ing in and running top shows

Hello all, Again, thank you all in advance for any help here. I am trying to figure out how to show the role associated with a user, in a template. I am using the LoginGeneratorACLSystem along with the LoginGenerator. I can show the first name of the user by writing "<%= session[:user].first_name %>" but when I write "<%= session[:user].roles.name %>" it spits

Hello all, I am developing an online store and would like to keep track of how many times each product was viewed. While I can keep track of page hits using something like webalizer, this won''t really work (I don''t think) as the pages are not going to be static. Has anyone else implemented this and if so could you please point me in the right direction. A potential solution

Hello everyone, I am not sure if this question belongs here but I will take my chances. I am creating a little app to keep track of my homework and when it is due, and I would like to send myself email reminders within x amount of the due time. What suggestions do you have for accomplishing this? I am running the latest versions of Ruby and Rails on a Fedora Core 5 box with qmail. Thanks for

Hello all, This is an interesting problem I have been working on. What I have is a little multiuser project request tracking application. What happens is that I log in and create projects and assign people to the projects. Each project has steps associated with it, and the steps need to be done in a certain order. Now, I have to request that the assigned person perform each of the steps, and

Hi, I am trying to include lightbox functionality in my app, but there is a slight complication. Apparently lightbox initializes all the links to lightbox events on page load. However, in my case, some new links to lightbox events will be rendered to the page through ajax events (obviously this means after the page loads). So I figure I need to find a way to call lightbox''s

Basically, we needed to authenticate against the cookie written by Ruby. It turns out that you can write a cookie for the entire TLD of *.example.com from Instiki (Rails). So, I changed the cookie writing code in the wiki_controller to the following. # app/controllers/wiki_controller.rb cookies[''ldap_username_2006''] = {:value =>emailaddress, :expires

Hello, I am wondering if Samba cares what types of files you are putting onto the server and if this effects the performance of the server. Attempts to copy various file types to my Samba 2.2.5 RH7.3 server have given mixed results. I appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, Robert Dempsey Atlantic Dominion Solutions
