My problem is that I cannot seem to find a good place to put this logic. I''ve tried to

Dear List, I''m using Edge Rails. I have a Model with Items for purchase. Each Item is of a certain brand.

Hi list, first evening of playing with rails, so please forgive me if I ask something stupid. ;-) I created a User model and tried to use ActiveRecord callbacks to convert the password to sha1 just before saving it. For some reason postgresql gives me a error because the given password is null. To test even further I tried to change :login too, same error happens, :login is empty too. I am sure

I work at an organization that is very wrapped up in Microsoft products. I am trying to get a test application put in however I''m not sure what to do about the infratstructure. If it were up to me we would put in MySQL and Apache or Lighty, however its not up to me.

I installed 1.1.3 on my OS X Tiger machine and now I''m seeing very strange results.

anyone been successful with implementing code hints in the Views folder with radrails in eclipses?

Workshop has_many :presenters, :through =>:presenterships, :source=>:user

I just spent the last two days trying to get Rails on IIS to work with Windows 2003/IIS 6.0. I think I''ve finally got it working, but it took more googling than I care to describe. Now I''ve got a few questions: 1) Is there some ''official'' Rails on IIS guide on this site on another official ruby site that''s known to work well? 2) If not, can someone

Does anyone know of any services that could be used to authenticate a user that would be a member of the general public? One of the projects we''re looking at here needs to have forms signed by parents of students.
