I have a few projects with large directories (say, user-uploaded files) that make using Capistrano a bit awkward. However, I suspect that I may have reached the "write a custom task" level. (I suppose I''m just thinking out loud, here...) It seems as though I''d want this directories symlinked in /shared... Maybe there''s a way to extend the

I have a question about how to implement a design in Rails. I will try to make this as easy to follow as possible. First, let''s say that I have an ''Orders'' table that has different statuses. The 3 statuses that I want to track are ''Submitted'', ''Approved'', and ''Purchased''. I also have 3 users of this application.

Hi all - I know this must be really easy to do, but I can''t for the life of me figure it out. I have about 100,000 rows I need to migrate over into rails using a migration. Right now, I select all of them out of the old database and do a series of: ... new.col = old.col ... new.save ... Problem is each one is it''s own transaction. And it''s slow. I''d

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help with some RadRails guidance... ( on WIndows XP ) I''ve been using UltraEdit and it''s Project management is good, but I feel RadRails should be better with the inbuild Ruby and RoR features... I''ve tried working through the tutorials on the web site for example the CookBook tutorial & it tells me to go the Generators Pane, which

I'm a longtime Samba user and admin (since 1.7) and I thought I had seen just about everything until Active Directory 2003 (native mode) completely took out our Samba user authentication (each server auth=domain to an AD 2000 domain). We have Samba running on a variety of servers (AIX, HP, Linux) and need to be able to provide our users with the ability to access their appropriate shares

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I''m new to Ruby, so don''t be too hard on me. Is there a great visual editor for Ruby? Also can Ruby on Rails (RoR) work with any other databases other than the ones listed in the documentation, I need to connect to SQLBase? Can Ruby be used to create standalone Applications (like Java)? If yes, does it create native looking apps? Can it be use in Client-Side and/or Server

does anyone know of a good place to find an open source / freeware text editor? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to monitor a folder and when someone drops a file in there I can take the files name and add it to a database. My dream is to have a folder always being watched. and if someone drops a file or folders with files into that watched folder, I take the filename(s) and insert them into a db and if the files are in folder I use the folder name(s) as tags for that file. make sense?

now that tha auto complete works (thanks Craig) I''m at a stumbling point again. here''s the situation. I have a text box that gets populated from the auto complete that has "ivanoff, john" and I want to add him to a list of approved users. how do I get the id to add to the employees_users table? do I need to look up the employee in the employee table or can I get the

Caveat: this is not a discussion about *hosting* a rails app on windows. Anyway...Macs are everywhere you look when researching rails (demo vids, tutorials, and pictures from rails training classes). I''m interested in what the pros to using a Mac for rails development are (besides textmate). Is it more of a cultural thing, a what would 37 signals do thing, is it a unix thing, or

from the rails recipes i have a has_many through "working". I can list a user and what magazines he subscribes to. but I can''t seem to figure out how to get the other attributes from subscriptions. (like last_renewed_on) reader_controller.rb def list_reader @readers = Reader.find(1) end ---------- list_readers.rhtml <dl> <dt><%= readers.name %> </dt>

Server - HPUX 11.31 Clients - WIN7 WIN10 After upgrading my versions to 4.9.0.0 I've noticed that we're unable to connect to our AD joined SMB HP-UX Server any longer. Could someone tell me where to begin digging in release notes between 3.6.6-4.9.0.0 to find out what changed in the smb.conf file that would be causing our problems? Here's a somewhat similar .conf output global]

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

Hello everybody, I''m a new member on Ruby on Rails. I''m friendly on using Microsoft Visual Studio (VS) IDE. The VS IDE supports for Intellisense coding (that mean it will automatically display a list of member variables or functions for a class, struct, union, or namespace; the names and types of parameters required by a function or attribute; and the complete declaration for

I was wondering if there are any IDEs out there that has autocomplete features for win32. It would be perfect if it could do something akin to what DHH is doing on the screencast hosted on the rails website. http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok I know this is off topic, but since you guys are usualy so helpful, I thought I''d try here first. Building a Rails App and one of the things we''ve done is put a CSS class of; * { font-family:"Lucida Grande",verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; margin:0pt; padding:0pt; } Now the problem is that the padding setting, for one reason or another is killing my select
