I feel the need to protest about a disturbing trend in the vibrant RoR community - name dilution. ActiveRecord is called that precisely because it is that. The name come from Martin Fowler, and it expresses a class which is a database record, only _active_ - that is with methods & behaviors (unlike a classical database record, which is completely passive.) If you look in the

following the instructions at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUploadFiles, I am able to upload to an explicit and existing directory (i.e. c:\ror\app\public\images\photo.jpg). However, when I try to upload to a folder that does not exist, say, c:\ror\app\public\image\newfolder\photo.jpg, I get the following error: Errno::ENOENT in Images#create No such file or directory -

My apologies if you will receive this twice as I posted it to the RForum forum yesterday. My understanding is that it is a separate forum. Gently disabuse me of this notion if I am mistaken. [paste] Thanks for allowing me to post to your community board. First, let me just say that we are looking to hire someone who is interested in and has been delving into RoR. However, we are not looking

We are close to releasing a high-volume, multi-lingual, e-commerce site in Ruby on Rails that has previously been written in an alternative Java framework (e.g. servlets and JSP). This is a real-time 24/7 betting and gaming web site based out of Gibraltar in Europe. When we embarked on this project, we really wanted to find examples of other high-volume web sites that had adopted RoR. We did

I''m looking for a virtual private server to run a RoR site accessing a database on a different machine. This is a small application - basically a form to add records, and a few summary screens. What are the minimal requirements for a vps? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I would like to offshore the development of a brand new web application to a few engineers in China and am wondering if I would be able to find RoR developers there. Since it''s a fairly new framework, maybe there are people who are learning right now. My aim is to find people who are very experienced with J2EE web application development and have a strong interest in working with

Hi all, please forgive me for such a newbie question, but I thought it would best to tap the wealth of experience here. I''m a new Rails guy but I''m evaluating frameworks for use in an intranet at a back whose internal systems are Oracle on linux. For now all my data will be on a dedicated box but down the road I may need to make calls into other databases hosted on other

I am having a few RoR apps developed by a programmer. They deal with private information and I want them to be very secure. I have confidence in my programmer but nobody is perfect. :) Is there any company that specialises in checking this type of code for stuff that could be a security leaks? They are not very complex apps. Thanks, NK -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to get some answers as to why I (my company actually) would go with RoR over TurboGears. The developer staff is fluent in both Ruby and Python so that is not an issue. Rails is well into its release cycle whereas Turbogears won''t be at 1.0 until later this week. They both do essentially the same thing and they both have cool features unique to themselves

Hi, I have the following situation: I have developed something using ROR. The data that is being displayed by the view needs to be refreshed periodically - The data pertains to the state of machines in a cluster. I dont want to query the state in my model, because it may take a long time to do that. I want to have a thread running (in the background) which is constantly checking the status

Hey guys, I''m new to the world of web site development. Although I''m in the process of learning RoR, I''m not a graphics artist nor a web developer or web site designer. With that being said, does anyone have any suggestions for tools to use to create the actual interface for a web app based on a RoR framework? Obviously the default output of RoR is fine for

Hello, I am currently working on a project using Ruby on Rails. So far, I have a well-populated mySQL database the RoR refers to and the basic scaffolding functions implemented. I also designed views/layouts that furthers the basic scaffolding interface. No problem and no big accomplishment by any means. Now, I want to pull user information from an already existing LDAP server and put that

Hi there ! I am currently investingation ROR. I really like the idea of specifying my database schema via Migrations, but one questions came to my mind. How does one specify Table relations in the migration ? 1. There is a fancy way of doing it with Active Records. 2. I just add manually some Integer ID columns etc... and lateron add the Foreign Key semantic via SQL.. Which one of the above

Hello fellow RoR users, I am a newbie and I thought RoR is so easy to set up and that I would be saving so much time -- but I am still waiting to save time because I simply couldn''t get Ruby/Rails to talk to MySQL (5.0.18) at all. Here are the steps that I have examined: 1) I look at dabatbase.yml and put in the right information to talk to the database I have set up (the

I have Ruby on Rails setup on a server using the guide for cPanel from the wiki at the RoR main site, but it does not work properly. I ran the test.fcgi file I found on a page on the wiki and it just loops. The default test controller dispatch.fcgi also loops. I see a FastCGI error along the lines of "has failed to remain running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has

Hi All, We are considering using RoR as the framework for our collection of sites. Everything looks good so far in our evaluation of RoR, except for one issue. We have 1000+ sites that are all identical except for their database and a few customer media files. We would like to have one install of RoR serve all of our sites, rather than creating 1000+ RoR installs. For some context,

Hi, I am trying to learn to use RoR by making a simple social networking example. Given a user id, I am trying to make a query that finds all of the group that user belongs to but also rank the groups by one of the groups'' parameter like group.size. Pretend group.size is a number from 1-10 and is precalculated. Can I do this is one query? Here are the relationships I set up: class

Found a great link (http://blog.eleventyten.com/2007/6/8/embedding-swf-content-with-ror/) describing adding Flash content (in my case playerMultipleList.swf) in a "rails" webpage. I''ve followed the instructions to a "T", however the player doesn''t display on the page ... just the words playerMultipleList.swf appear :-( Everything else is working great after
