Hello Community, is it possible to include perl scripts into a ruby view (.rhtml)? If yes, the structure has to be /public --> /cgi-bin like in a web application with cgi scripts? Best regards, Mathias -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a terminal editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and maybe syntax highlighting? Anyone know os a good Ruby/Rails editor or IDE, one that runs on OS X, possibly in Java? -Josh ----------- Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity.

I figured I pose this to the list and see if any one can build a better mousetrap. The problem: 1. Store hierarchical data in a database, but without knowing the hierarchy beforehand. 2. Allow the user to define there own hierarchy, and allow the system to support multiple hierarchies. Call it a cataloging system, we have an object and we want to add data about that object to the system. Now

I tried to keep track of the number of access to a specific controller. I declared ''@@mycount = 0'' in the controller class. The methods in the controller will increment the @@mycount (@@mycount = @@mycount + 1) and print the value to the html page and show in the browser. The value is always 1, no matter how many times I access the controller and its action(s). Is this

This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.

Hello, I just started playing with RubyOnRails. It is indeed fascinating! I have a question about using rails models to connect to backend Java (i.e. EJBs) instead of database. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Khaled -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve looked for DIFF tools for OSX but haven''t found anything good yet. Tried guiffy (http://www.guiffy.com) but it''s very slow and the folder comparison doesn''t indicate a change until you drill down to the level with the difference which kinda defeats the purpose. I''m missing TortoiseSVN and the diff tool that comes with it. Any suggestions for

Hi, Is there a way to test if a certain (local) variable has been initialized? I''d like to do something like if isset(myvar) and myvar.true? #some code else #default behaviour end I have a lot of shared views that I call with params such as { show_pager => true Instead of having to explicitly say show_pager => false it should be possible to make false a default value, right?

I am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype

Hi, I''m a little confused about sessions. I have two objects, object "Apple" and object "Banana". These two objects have an N:M relationship. What I am doing is listing All of the Banana objects that are associated with a single Apple, then below that listing all of the Banana objects not associated with that same Apple. The user is then allowed to change the

Hi all, I wanted to announce on this list that I have launched http://myowndb.com which is a web database built with Ruby on Rails. The application lets the administrator users define the data structure through a web interface like in a normal database, with: - tables - enhanced datatypes like emaili, web URL, and a choice in list - relations (one to many, one to one) between tables Once the

Hi, I''m putting the finishing touches on a multi-lingual application, and just posted a blog entry on how I did translate validation errors generated by ActiveRecord at: http://www.myowndb.com/blog/?p=4 I found it surprisingly easy, and thought I''d document it. The translation is based on a plugin I plan to publish really really soon, more info whith the upcoming announcement.

I can''t think of a good reason, other than it''s legacy code which hasn''t gotten around to being changed to RoR. http://rubyonrails.org/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://37signals.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://basecamphq.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://backpackit.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

Can I get some opinions on which free DB to use with rails for a virtual server that will eventually be doing lots of heavy database lifting? Not a lot of heavy duty querying per se. Think multiple simultaneous forums and blog sites and the like. I know each of the different DB possibilities such as MySQL and PostgreSQL has plus points and minus points. I''m particularly interested

Is there support yet for adding something to a list in sorted order? For example, you have a form to add a new item and you want the new item to be inserted in the list in the proper order. I''ve noticed the :position option in the form_remote_tag but it doesn''t seem like you can use it to keep things in sorted order. Rod Schmidt http://rodschmidt.blogspot.com "Do or

I''m using Ajax.Updater to update a select element, and have just discovered that IE doesn''t like having its innerHTML set. I figure instead of a bunch of option tags I can return JSON and parse it to add the options, but I''m not quite sure of the best way to do this.... or any way to do it really :) Could someone point this out to me? Or am I using a totally antiquated

Hi, I needed to be able to add actions to be taken during the lifecycle of ActiveRecord object, but needed to configure it dynamically. Observers were not flexible enough and I ended up developing ArEvents, which lets you easily attach and detach event listeners, the events correspond to the active record callbacks. If you have an existing model, just include the ArEvents module:

This is a very basic question but I cannot find the ''right'' answer. What is the best way to traverse an object / array with ROR. I need to look at the structure of some of the objects/ arrays but not sure how to go about it. I appreciate your assistance. Thanks Frank --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!
