Hi, I am a very new to ruby on rails so please forgive me if someone has asked this before. I need to make a form with many checkboxes. Sometime ago I was using Coldfusion and I chanced upon this great article on how to store flags using binary numbers. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/41674.htm Just wondering if there is something similar in RubyOnRails that I can learn from and use. That

Our group has several web apps developed in ColdFusion, PHP, and Rails. The ColdFusion and PHP apps are on an older server, and the Rails apps on a new server. Ideally, we''d like them all to share the same server. Our current setup for the Rails server is Apache2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer and mongrel_cluster. We''d like to have specific directories be processed and served by

Hi All, I have a CentoS 5.3 Xen Instance at Mosso. I need to run ColdFusion and I have in the past successfully made everything work, but not on Linux rather Windows. I just cannot get Apache and CF talking. I added mod_jrun22, When I try to serve a CF file, I am asked to download binary data. I added .cfm and .cfml to Directory Index for /var/www/html in httpd.conf and nothing still.

In honor of RailsConf, I''m releasing an authorization plugin with 3 test apps that show you how to use the system. A reasonably lengthy description can be found here: http://www.writertopia.com/developers/authorization I will also be talking about the plugin''s architecture in my RailsConf talk on Saturday. Some features: - Nice English-like way of expressing permissions through

I am having problems mounting a DFS share, even though it works in smbclient fine. After mounting, the mount point (in ls) has question marks for everything, and when ls'ing I just get permission denied. Turning up debug and verbose don't seem to help. Any ideas ?

Has anyone found a good method of mass mailing a bunch of people (100k) using RoR yet? I have always used a scheduled task to run a ColdFusion page every x minutes to send out blocks of about 7500 (sending the full 100k crashed the page) and this worked pretty well and now we are migrating all out sites to ruby, I seed to do something similar. Thanks in advance, James

Hello I''m new to rails (just boarded the Train a week ago). I''ve been an elearning developer for about 10 years and for the last couple of years have solely concentrated on adding tools to a proprietary Learning Management System built in Coldfusion. ...But I''m also a Java and ASP.NET developer.

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?

Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

I''m working on a plugin that requires some database support to do its job (adding a model or two). I''d like the plugin to automatically add a migration once it is installed. Is there already a mechanism for this? If so, how do you do it? -- *Berin Loritsch* Owner *Work:* 571-215-7708 *Email:* bloritsch@d-haven.com <mailto:bloritsch@d-haven.com> *IM:*

Hi there, I''ve been trying to paginate over a list of members that all share a tag in common using the acts_as_taggable plugin. The regular way of paginating over a collection doesn''t seem to work with acts_as_taggable. Here''s what my method looks like that takes in a tag name, finds all the members that share the tag and then displays all the members. Nothing too fancy

Can anyone recommend good books, online tutorials, or any other learning materials for Javascript - specifically Object Oriented Programming using JS? I want the rest of my dev team to be able to help me code in JS, specifically using prototype and scriptaculous. I''ve been using JS for so long, and I kinda "grew up" on OOP programming but my whole team is Coldfusion

Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse? Apart from that it''s perfect! :) Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
