Hi all I''m learning to use Rake for migration etc. I wonder if there''s a way to determine the currently used Rails version, so e.g. when installing a new engine using Rake I could check if there''s a version used that''s older as needed and so abort the installation. You know what I mean? ;-) Thanks and greetings, Joshua -- Posted via

Yesterday I got the beta version of ROR recipes book and the recipes are great. For those of you still thinking about it, I highly recommend the book. The only thing I wish is that if there were some more recipes (greedy me), especially AJAX related and installing an application within your current application. For instance, it will be great to see how one can implement the typo blog

Hi! I''ve been using parallels, vmware player, or virtual pc (did not try xen yet) for development, testing and experimenting with new platforms (and I must say I love them - copy paste a few files, and I have a clean deployment box etc) Since the RailsConf and various talks I''ve seen (like Jason Hoffmann''s http://svn.joyent.com/public/JasonHoffman-EuroRailsConf.pdf ,

I have a customer that I''m developing a solution for on RoR. They have IIS today and use Sharepoint for their intranet. Is it possible to have some kind of single sign-on between these systems?

I''m trying to grab a CSV file from a user and let them upload it directly to my database, but doing some minor checks on the data before saving. Which is the easier way to implement this? CSV or FasterCSV? I saw that perhaps there were some issues with FasterCSV and csv files created from Mac versions of Excel. Anyone have any experience with this and can recommend a newbie friendly

Hello all, We've discovered that VoIP (IAX2) + Citrix + Video is pegging the measly CPU on the Netopia router our ISP provided. We've got 3Mb/3Mb and will increase to 4/4 next year. The Netopia simply breaks out our WAN IPs, and we've got a switch hooked up to it on the inside (Actually I've got a QoS box in-between). ------------- | Internet | | on Cat5 | -------------

Hi, I'm considering setting up a small call centre, but I don't want operators to need to use their phone keypads. Supposedly, all required call functions (dialling, answering, transfer, on hold, hang up, etc), should be done via their scripts (be is a web interface, curses or whatnot) and not using either a regular phone, nor a gnome-phone type interface. Also, all this will be happen
