Hi there I''ve been running BackgroundRb in production for a few months now. Recently we added encryption onto some of our ActiveRecord fields by hooking in the before_save and after_save callbacks, like: class MyCallback def initialize(attr_names) @attr_names = attr_names end def before_save(model) @attr_names.each do |attr_name| next if

For example, given the following: class Message < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :sender, :class_name => ''EmailAddress'' composed_of :recipient,

This is probably a Ruby questions but since my issue exists in a Rails validation I thought I''d post here. I have the following validator validates_each :thumbnail, :regular do |record, attribute, value| unless value.nil? && value.valid? record.errors.add( attribute,

Hello, I'm wondering if the following situation is valid (though I think it isn't since I still cannot authenticate with ldap pass/userdb on test67 running on FreeBSD-5.3).

Hello all. I don''t know how to get all symbols passed to method validates_presence_of in model.

All, I have a RXML template which renders partial RXML templates within it. A snippet is below. The "xml" variable is the parent template''s Builder variable. It is passed into the partial under the name "parent_xml". Why can''t I use :locals => {.... :xml => xml ....} in my call to render the partial? It seems like if I do use :xml => xml, it

Hi, I had successfully set up dovecot-1.0-test62 + ldap pass/user db, but now I'm encoutering a SIGSEV problem with a similar set up of a brand new dovecot-1.0-test65 installation.

Hello, I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with authentication against an ldap pass/user db with test67 as test62 was working fine. [ The problem is the same as previously described in this list : - FreeBSD-5.3 - dovecot-1.0-test67 - openldap-2.1.27 --> "ldap(dovetest,127.0.0.1): No password in reply" --> "NO Temporary authentication failure." or --
