I''m using the subdomains as accounts method fine on a project, but I''m wondering what is the best way to differentiate between account subdomains to access the app using an account, and www.domain.com and domain.com in order to show normal site content. I''ve noticed that on Backpack, it seems that when you leave the information pages and start using the app,

Hi mongrel-herders, I''m just wondering what fellow railsers use to rotate their logs in an orderly fashion? I''d like to do something lightweight, i.e. (1) rename the logfile (2, optional) create a new empty logfile and (3) send a signal to each mongrel in the cluster and have them understand it''s time to reopen their log file handles. This is what I do with apache and

I need to process some text files quickly. I''ve not been able to find the answer in the archive. The Ruby Standard Library site times out. Can someone tell me where to find info on how to: 1.

Hi! There''s something I don''t understand yet about static/private methods. I hope someone can explain... E.g.: class SayHello def hello(who) puts "Hello, " + who + "!" end def self.say(words) puts words end end hello = SayHello.new hello.hello "World" : Hello World! hello.say "hi" : Error SayHello.say

I''m just at the "reading various rails tutorials" stage. One thing that has puzzled me a couple of times so far is the fact that the creation of the database is not part of the "migration". The steps as I''ve seen them are always: 1) $ rails myapplication 2) $ mysqladmin yadda yadda to create a table 3) $ script/generate migration myWickedTable 4) put rows

Hello, If anyone could help me out with this problem I''d appreciate it... I''m making a database of event bookings, I have an events table and a clients table. I''d like to include a form to create a new client in the form for creating a new event. This would update the parent form with the new client_id using AJAX methods (see previous e-mail) so you''d

i realise that this goes against the basic idea of the MVC architecture, but i''ve found myself in a situation where i need to get information about the current user in a model & i''m not sure how to do it. Basically, we have a product where each customer has their own profile with data stored in a separate database. There are some tables in a common

I''m trying to set up shared rails websites, so every user has its own public_html for rails scripts. I''m not really satisfied with the fastcgi approach (cgi scripts can sometimes be nasty security problems) so I''d like to try the another approach. (If someone knows a good tutorial on installing rails on FreeBSD including the fastcgi configuration that would be nice).

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

Is there any way of sending a set of keystrokes to a window, from a command line function. Eg. $ wine "c:\MyApplication.exe" &> logfile.log & $ send.key.shell/perl.script where send.key.shell/perl.scrip will send keystorkes to the wine program depending on the results of the log file.

I need to set the session_domain option (to the subdomain) dynamically so the cookie can be read when the user arrives

I still want to get this into Rails for all connection adaptors, but for now I''ve hacked my own addition on for just PostgreSQL. The following code extends every Column object returned by MyModel.columns to support a new #required? method, which indicates if the column may or may not be null. The following is a huge hack - suggestions on a cleaner way to add this functionality
