Hello everyone, I''m trying to migrate a working app from Postgres to MySQL, and I''m trying to use a migration to get it done rather than alter all my database table creation scripts to MySQL syntax. I''ve done loads of work with Postgres, but am a real newbie with MySQL... I did a ''rake db_schema_dump'' from my Postgres app, and got a nice looking

If yes, how do I set it up in the yml file? Thanks. - amateur Railist -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060818/6690a4e2/attachment.html

Hello all, I'm kind of surprised that searching the archives and Googling haven't given me a result for this... I've got a large amount of data that is a good fit for CouchDB; it's reasonably unstructured, and such structure that exists is quite fluid. I want to slice the data in many different ways, some of which really don't fit well with a relational database model. I

I''m getting the following error unexpectedly for my rails app. I just exported the databae from dreamhost and imported it on textdrive for my rails app. Mysql::Error: MySQL client ran out of memory: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE (comments.listing_id = 2666) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:88:in

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. I''d like to get some feedback on which would be the best to develop in. ( I prefer Rails :) 1. Will Rails be stable in that environment? Will it work with IIS? 2. Is it better for

Hello everyone, It''s a particularly slow Friday afternoon here, so time to try stuff out... I''ve just installed Instant Rails on a USB key, thinking it would be a great way of showing off Rails in general, giving a progress update to customers, trying out ideas, and generally all the other benefits that come from having a completely portable environment. However, the 168Mb of

Hi, I just finished writing this plug-in. I''ve been using rails for awhile but this is my first time extracting some code and writing it as a plug-in and I''d love to hear to some feedback. Thanks. http://mitchellhashimoto.com/rails/role-based-access-control-plug-in-for-rails/ -Mitchell -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello everyone, I''ve got an app where, when a user logs out, I want the browser history to be cleared so no-one can go back and see what the user was doing. I remember seeing info on how to do this before - can''t find it in Google (the search terms "clear", "browser" and "history" aren''t that great!), which means I can''t remember

Hello everyone, A new project I''m starting on has a "database" consisting of many 10s of thousands of XML documents. They all conform to a common schema. The project consists pretty much exclusively of searching and presenting existing data - there''s no need (for the forseeable future) to be able to input or update XML documents in the database. Unlike (say) blog

Ok, I think I understand why RoR will flag an attempt double render in an action. What I don''t understand is the philosophy of render and redirect_to. Specifically, why isn''t a return implicit in both those methods? Or, I guess, more to the point ... what are the advantages of writing code in the action after a render/redirect_to? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --

I have a common failure page that I may need to render to upon failing some test that occurs in an after_filter method. I''d like to use the after_filter to take over the control of the rendering, like so: def test_for_validity some_boolean = my_test return render(:action => ''disqualified'') unless some_boolean @success_controller ||= controller_name

I''m working on my personal site. The design is complete and I want to integrate some rails into it. I''ve done a few small things before, but compared to them this is big. I need a simple blog with categories and comments and an archive. I want a nice posting system, but don''t want it in HTML. Is there something I can add or make, kind of like BBCODE? I pretty much know

Hello everyone, I''m looking to produce some graphs broadly like the ones shown here: http://www.dotnetcharting.com/gallery/List.aspx?gal=6 No prize for guessing what type of app it is... This particular graphing library is .NET-specific, but as you can see the results it produces are really nice. More than likely, they''re several notches above what I''ll be able to

Hello list, I think I''ve found a bug in the way Rails is talking to my Postgres DB when recording HABTM data. My join_table looks like this: id serial primary key, tablea_id integer references tablea(id), tableb_id integer references tableb(id), other_attributes... When Rails writes to join_table, I''d expect it to do something like: INSERT INTO join_table (tablea_id,

Hello list, For a school management application, I''ve got three tables: - people - subjects - roles (e.g. ''Teacher'', ''Student'', ''Tutor'', ''Lecturer'', ...) The HABTM relationship is 3-way, with the links being stored in the people_roles_subjects table. A person can have a role in a subject, but may have different

Hello everyone, I just showed a friend a prototype of a site offering a service I''m trying to sell (sorry, not on the Internet yet - he saw it at my house). His comment: "Looks like it does everything, but also looks pretty ugly. You''re not going to wow anybody with that". Sitting back and thinking about it, he''s dead right - it needs some bling to make it

Hello list, A short time ago, I found http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/portable_apps_suite/, which contains basically a complete set of office tools that can be run *entirely* from a USB key. The concept is: - find a Windows PC - put in your USB key - run OpenOffice, Firefox, Gaim, Nvu, Thunderbird, ... directly from your USB key, with no app installation required - save your files wherever

This should be obvious - but I''m a long-time non-web app programmer and new to rails. I simply want to put something in a variable in one action and access it in another. It''s like this, I''m doing a simple photo gallery/managment app, and I have two actions in my picture_controller: The first one scans the picture directory and creates a new object in the pictures

Part of my application should show a list of all users on the system who agreed to have their details revealed. So, I have an action like this: def view_users @users = User.find(:all,:conditions=>"reveal = 1",:order=>"login DESC") end In the associated view, @users is an object of nilclass and the app. breaks as it tries to iterate over the @users array. However, if I

I have a form with about 30+ fields, which the client is wanting to separate into 3 pages/steps - just wondering what is the best way to go about this, specifically remembering data entered, from one page to another, and making sure the various bits of data are validated correclty, error messages outputted etc etc... is there a best practice method for doing this? -- Posted via
