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

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, I''m new to Rails. I''m building a candidates tracking system for recruiting. I have a List page, but instead of listing every candidate, I only wanted to list the candidates in certain statuses. The first time List page is hit, by default, it lists candidates in status < 9. But on the List page, there is a dropdown where all the statuses are listed, so that when user

I have a User model and a Status model. Each user is given a certain status, either "Accepted", "Rejected", "OnHold", "Declined", etc. I need to find all users with a status of "Accepted", so I''m doing the following: in User.rb: belongs_to :status def accepted_users status_id =

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''ve been struggling a bit trying to figure out the best way to design/implement a system with authentication/authorization, and was hoping some of you may be able to offer some advice.. At the moment, I have a system with 4 different types of users - clients, administrators, sales_reps, and public_users. I''m using "Authorizing Users with Roles" from the Rails Recipes

Hi all!

Sari, I got the list display working without doing an explicit find. It took a bit of a conceptual convulution to get it to work. I was thinking of it has Many Cases have One status. There is no support for Many-to-One so I was a bit stumped. Then I realized you just have to turn around your thinking to say One Status has Many Cases. Thus it is a One-to-Many relationship. That is descriped

I''ve had a number of occasions now where I want to find something in my model that is not on the primary object. For instance I''ve got a class Alert that has_one Status. Status has a "label".

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.

I''m curious what would be the best way to represent people and whether the person has someone marked as their friend. Here are my thoughts so far: People table - id - name Relationships table - person_id - friend_id Now my problem is I don''t know how to set up these associations (if this is even correct). Friend_id would be an id to someone else from the people table.
