Hey everyone, I''m still getting up to speed with Rails and Ruby. Is there a best practice technique for kicking off a thread to work on an activity in the background? Here''s the scenario: the user performs an action that triggers e-mails to be sent. (I''m using ActionMailer). My app acknowledges with a message to the user that the messages have been sent. I would

Hi everyone - sorry if this is a bit OT, I''m not subscribed to the ''ruby-talk'' list, but if anyone wants to cross post this over there... This is just a quick announcement to let people know that I''ve built a basic RDoc Dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger. It''s still beta-ish, but seems to work okay for me - and it''s a convenient reference

Hi guys, got this problem with creating such a thing... hope anyone could help.. the problem: ok, now i have this mock object that would simulate a external rpc call. eg require ''models/xmlrpc_agent'' class XmlrpcAgent def create(params) 200 end end but the value of the value returned is fixed. which is quite hard for me to test the controller when different

I have two local variables: startTime and expectedStartTime. Both are chron related objects. When I look at the class for the objects I can see they are of class "times". When I print them to the console, they both read: "09:30:00" When I print them as.numeric(), they both read: 0.3958333 When I try and compare them: (as.numeric(startTime) == as.numeric(expectedStartTime)) it

I go thru this every few mnths it seems. Rsyncs exclude rules are very sophisticated but because of that somewhat unfathomable at times. Simplified: I want to exclude directories named no_bak anywhere in the tree but only the files under them, not the direcrories themselves. My exclude rules look like: no_bak/* /no_bak/* The first one does catch directories by that name on the first level but

In my model I''d like to write a method that accesses the attributes by name. A very simple implementation would be class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base def get_value(attribute) return value_of_attribute end end Then I can call it with m.get_value(:name) to get the value of the name column in the db. I''m not sure what to put in for

I am stumped here. I am a novice at using samba to do MS Active Directory stuff, but I have read everything I could find in the HOWTO collection and on the linux.samba cache of the list and am still stuck. A bit of background... I have set up a Windows 2003 server as a domain controller here and configured it to be the DNS for a ficticious domain for internal use only. The domain functional

Hi all, This is just another quick email to let everyone know that I''ve updated the RDoc Dashboard Widget to fix all the reported bugs and add most of the requested features. The changes include: * Bug fixes for erratic scrolling and ''stuck'' navigation panes * The ability to have multiple instances of the RDoc widget on your dashboard * Bookmarking functionality for

Thank you in advance. Although I have many years of experience in general, including cross- platform processing, I am not an HTML/Javascript programmer. As a result, I do not have certain specific baseline skills and/or knowledge that are presumed in the Rails and Ajax documentation. I am experienced with DOM manipulations, so the bare mechanics of manipulating the browser GUI via Javascript

I found this from ocfs1.4 document: g) NFS OCFS2 volumes can be exported as NFS volumes. This support is limited to NFS version 3, which translates to Linux kernel version 2.4 or later. Users must mount the NFS volumes on the clients using the nordirplus mount option. This disables the READDIRPLUS RPC call to workaround a bug in NFSD, detailed in the following link:

Hi xen developers, Does any of you know how to disable the cirrus-vga emulation for hvm in xen? I have been trying to disable that from the source codes, but even with that, I still see a VGA controller when I boot up my guest domain. In particular, I would like to do this because I am passing through a graphics card to my guest domain using direct pass through. Thanks, - billy

Howdy, I am using Apple''s Terminal and Rails 1.0 on Tiger. I am tailing my log files and it seems with one of these updates things changed a little. I see all these ''ESC'' codes all over. How can I make the output prettier? I''d rather not move to iTerm, not one of my faves. Cheers.

I think they are called tool tips... I have view code that looks like this... <%= link_to ''I'', :action => ''edit_innoculations'', :id => personnel %> Is there an option (I don''t see it in api) to have tool tips for a link_to ? Craig

Dear Marc, Thanks for your feedback! 1. I store it in MySQL. 2. I will add a cronjob to run Solr if I can figure out why its not working on test runs. Maybe I might try to setup a cronjob for solr to avoid having to manually start it everytime. 3. Will turn on the mail_debug in dovecot.conf . Where will it log the problems?

Hi, I was having problem with the tdbsam backend in which a particular user got listed twice with pdbedit. (http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg109110.html) Without much hope in fixing it, I am planning to re-generating passdb.tdb on my PDC by: (1)exporting tdbsam to smbpasswd backend (2)delete passdb.tdb (3)re-import smbpasswd to tdbsam backend With the command `

Hi I''ve got the error in the log file "marshal data too short" after I try to store some data into session. After doing some research on the internet, it looks like the problem was caused by pstore.rb. It is there way to solve this problem? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m working in a complex web app that could have 1000+ users within the next year. It must be run on Windows 2003. Current db is SqlServer 2000. Company is deciding between Rails and ASP 2.0.

Hello colleagues, I am a novice with R and am stuck with an analysis I am trying to conduct. Any suggestions or feedback would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I''m working on a Ferret-based application which indexes content in all European languages. Thus, I have to deal with those funny European characters. After googling a bit, I decided to move on with a custom European analyzer based on MappingFilter, as suggested in the Ferret rdoc. Everything works fine with Ferret 0.11.3 on Mac OS X. But this application needs to run on both
