Hello, I am the developer of a fairly major PHP app. It has the full compliment of web application goodies -- email, batch processes, cc transactions, multi-level authentication, security, content management, curl-type interaction with other applications, etc. I am obsessed with the idea of re-doing a year and a half of work in Rails and the more I learn the worse my itch gets. I feel

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, 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

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

I have some classes in my model which use STI and they work as expected in the console. However, when I try to use them in a migration, I get "uninitialized constant OfficePhone", for example. Why doesn''t the migration environment pick up the class defs? OfficePhone is defined in the model/phone.rb. I put model :phone in the application.rb but my migration just

Hello to all Rubyist and Railist ;) I''m looking for people to start a blog-project, write about Rails and with its related subject.

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

I''m doing some testing and want to start WEBrick as a daemon on my RHEL 4 server. How can I start this to run as a daemon from the command line so that I can close my ssh session and leave WEBrick running? Thanks, David

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

Greetings! I''m attempting to use the act_as_versioned plugin to provide versioning functionality for my rails app, but can''t think my way through this: How can you use act_as_versioned to perform versioning on a HABTM join table? It is easy to see how to do so for join models (:has_many :through) but not so for the join table. I want to use act_as_versioned to maintain

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

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?

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

Is there such a thing? I am thinking of an application that has something like this: 1. person has many things - there is a ''persons'' table 2. the things he has are stored in a table that is something like this person_id, thing_table_name, thing_id For example, it may map to person1, books, 23 #Person 1 owns book 23 person1, books, 25 #Person 1 owns book 25

I''m having difficulty figuring out the ruby neccessary to do this so I thought I would try the list. I''m hoping to get a date_select to only display certain days (specifically only fridays) but rails doesn''t seem to have the flexibility so I''ve been going at it in ruby to no avail. I''ve looked on google but couldn''t find it (because it

Hi, So thanks to Zed I was able to get lighty/scgi and a Rails app running. I know this might not be the best place to post this, but I guessed there may be several others with similar experiences here. So, the following step is to have several apps each in its on subdirectory. I tried the following to no avail: $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/tango/" { server.document-root =

Hello, I have found out that a domain administrator is always mapped to root in the UNIX filesystem: drwx------ 2 jive smbguests 1024 2004-12-23 18:59 jive drwx------ 13 salsa smbusers 1024 2004-12-23 18:58 salsa drwx------ 13 root smbadmins 1024 2004-12-23 18:56 tango jive is a domain guest user, salsa a domain user and tango a domain administrator.

Hi, I am running a 3.6.0 server as a member of a Samba4 domain controller and am noticing some behaviour that I do not understand (the domain is FB5, the domain member servers's name is tango) It took me some time to get winbind showing domain users and groups but finally with backend idmap_rid it is _nearly_ working. `getent passwd' and `gentent group' list domain users and groups:
