Hi, I''m looking at ways to encrypt email addresses rather than storing them directly in the database. There are several ways that it could be done. I could make an Encrypter class and use before_update, etc. Or I could set up an updatable VIEW in mySql. (I guess triggers might be another possibility.) However, what I would really LIKE to do is use the handy AES_ENCRYPT and

Hi, Can someone explain the proper use of the use of perform_deliveries in the environment.rb file?? ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = false I just moved a new controller to the production version of an app, but wanted to be sure everything was properly configured before sending out a big mailing, so I set perform_deliveries = false, believing that would prevent mail from being

I have an e-commerce site and users check out with a form. The results of that form are sent to a "confirm your order" page via POST. I take great pains to NEVER store the full credit card number on my server--just the last 4 digits. I was very surprised to find that by default Rails will record POST requests with parameters in the production.log. And those parameters

I''m looking for a good web-based to do list app. Essentially, I''d like to use Basecamp''s todo management system, but that''s not an option since I can''t install Basecamp on a server I own. The information being tracked in the list cannot be sent out of my intranet. I would imagine that there are a couple of open source rails apps that would meet my

Why is RJS so dependant on programatic creation of Javascript? RHTML is a great implementation in that it puts HTML first, and Ruby second. I would have thought RJS would be the same way: a .js with ERb helpers for generating Javascript functions. RJS putting Javascript second means: - I have to learn a whole new set of commands to use Scriptaculous. - Developers have to constantly chase the

Hi, Going through the archive, and just keeping a general watch on this list seems to indicate that there are some issues using scheduling with backgroundrb. I need a worker that will perform some actions on an hourly interval. These actions will require access to several of the models in my application.

I''ve decided to dive into page caching for my rails app. I''m doing my testing with webbrick and it refuses to display the cached page for a particular action. I''ve modified my paginator helper to put the page parameter in the url so that the paginated page can be used with caching.
