My question is how have people implemented different types of users in their Web applications using user-engine? As for my application, I use single table inheritance in order to derive several different types of users, such as "moderators," "editors," etc ... For example, let''s say that I want to create a moderator. I define a new moderator class and Controller like

Hello, The problem I am having is I have a form where a user can edit their data that does not include their password. I have another form that I allow them to change their password. Both forms use the before_update method that hashes the password. There is no password in the first form. Am I making this too complicated? How do I call the hash_password for only the second form? Both forms use

Hi ! I was talking to a seasider and he asked me if it was easy to do the following thing using rails : 1) ask a number to the user 2) ask a second number 3) give the addition of the two number and a link to be able to replay All these things have to be done in one controller and one action, there is no need for verification and other stuff. I tried but I''ve got some problems

All, I'm trying to install R-base on RedHat Linux 7.2. Rpm complains that libreadline.4.1.so is needed; the problem is that I have libreadline4.2.so.

I am using read.csv to read a CSV file (produced by saving an Excel file as a CSV file). The columns containing dates are being read as factors. Because of this, I can not compute follow-up time, i.e. Followup<-postDate-preDate. I would appreciate any suggestion that would help me read the dates as dates and thus allow me to calculate follow-up time. Thanks John John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Chief,

Hi all, I have deployed my Ruby On Rails application on TextDrive. At first everything seamed to be fine. However, lately, response time of my application is incredible slow. Worse, lately there is also a lot of downtime. I have contacted their support desk, however, they do not respond (at all, or very, very late). Has anyone else these experiences with TextDrive? And if so, what did you do

All, I''ve been looking switching hosting providers, and have been strongly considering TextDrive. Doing a little Googling turns up a fair number of complaints that seem to be centered around server performance, stability and uptime. Since I know a poorly written app can contribute to all of these, I thought I''d pose the question to all of you. Does anyone here host

Hi, I''ve just deployed a basic ecommerce site on textdrive.com. The application has been stress tested on our local development machines and appears to be running fine (no memory leaks). However, on textdrive the fcgi processes are being killed after just a few requests apparently because of cpu usage (The log says the processes exceeds 17% average cpu usage in the last few minutes)

As anyone deployed on Textdrive using Apache + Mongrel? If so did you just install the GEM locally? I have filed a support request with Textdrive querying when we will see the Mongrel GEMs installed but have received no response yet... Thanks!

I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

I''m doing some searching for deployment options, and I feel like I''m getting buried in a lot of new technology and assumptions that I know all that it''s dependent on. In the past I''ve done small things with PHP where I just dump the app in a folder and everything works out of the box. I found that everyone is using Capistrano, which relies on Subversion

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

Hi everyone, Yum on one my CentOS systems has decided to stop functioning after an upgrade to CentOS 4.6. It's complaining about errors with Python-SQLite packages? Any ideas anyone?

Issue: I am trying to get a good quality search capability across our site. I ran across ActiveSearch (http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/simple_search/) which seems to be a better solution for us than SimpleSearch (and SearchGenerator) as it is more than just word based. However, I am unable to get the project built and being fairly new to Ruby / Rails I''m a little

Hi, I was wondering, does anyone have experience with deploying rails application(s) on TextDrive. At this time, I''m only seeing an index page remotely but on my system, I would type the following and obtain the expected result: http://localhost:3000/visitor/list However, when I perform the same operation on textdrive, I''m getting the following message on the screen:

Hi, I''m looking at getting some hosting to support RoR development. Thus, how would you rate Dream Host?

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

Hello, I am interested in fitting a generalized nonlinear regression (gnlr) model with negative binomial errors. I have found Jim Lindsay's package that will do gnlr, but I have having trouble with the particular model I am interested in fitting. It is a threshhold model, where below a certain value of one of the parameters being fitted, the model changes. Here is a sample: Cones:

Way to go YubNub! It''ll be interesting to see: 1) What so many people have to say and 2) How your rails app holds up to the slashdotting. Great work!
