Hi there, What are you using for text search engine in your rails applications ? I have been using simple search for simple applications, but then I need to search text in model instances inside collections such as user.documents and the like. I believe that simple search does not support any sort of ranged queries, and sql like might be overkill for tables with lots of records. Bests, Sergi

I am using ferret right now, and it works great for all my regular text documents/information. My problem arises when I want to index/search all of our assets (mostly pdf files). Currently, there is no way to READ pdfs from Ruby. Because of this I have to resort to using Java to read the PDF''s and then Lucene to index them. My problem here is a couple things. One, to index a asset I have

I''m trying to figure out how Ruby in general, and/or anything extra Rails may have, can talk to Java APIs of third party server apps. After quite a few search attempts net-wide and on ruby forums, and with "Programming Ruby" in hand, I''m coming up with zilch. Either I''m not finding it, or I''m not recognizing it. I''m assuming there has

All, I am attempting to use RJB (Java-Ruby Bridge - see: http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?RubyJavaBridge) in my Rails app. The documentation says: "Both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and JAVA_HOME setting required in environment.rb file of RoR." However, it doesn''t say _how_ to set these variables in environment.rb. I''ve tried JAVA_HOME =

I figured I pose this to the list and see if any one can build a better mousetrap. The problem: 1. Store hierarchical data in a database, but without knowing the hierarchy beforehand. 2. Allow the user to define there own hierarchy, and allow the system to support multiple hierarchies. Call it a cataloging system, we have an object and we want to add data about that object to the system. Now

This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.

I tried to keep track of the number of access to a specific controller. I declared ''@@mycount = 0'' in the controller class. The methods in the controller will increment the @@mycount (@@mycount = @@mycount + 1) and print the value to the html page and show in the browser. The value is always 1, no matter how many times I access the controller and its action(s). Is this

Hello all, I am new to this list and hopefully I am at the right place. Firstly, thanks to everyone involved in this project. You do a great job! Now, I use "net" to join Windows AD domains and was wondering where I can find out more information on what happens during a "net ads testjoin". The information I found on the documentation pages of net or smb.conf on the website

I''ve looked for DIFF tools for OSX but haven''t found anything good yet. Tried guiffy (http://www.guiffy.com) but it''s very slow and the folder comparison doesn''t indicate a change until you drill down to the level with the difference which kinda defeats the purpose. I''m missing TortoiseSVN and the diff tool that comes with it. Any suggestions for

Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to select (a) specific IP(s) for a "net ads dns register" call. The reason for my question is that we have setups with several interfaces, a few of which are "internal" interfaces but technically they're ethernet interfaces. Adding all those internal interfaces to a Windows AD server leads to the DNS server giving out the

I am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype

Hi, Is there a way to test if a certain (local) variable has been initialized? I''d like to do something like if isset(myvar) and myvar.true? #some code else #default behaviour end I have a lot of shared views that I call with params such as { show_pager => true Instead of having to explicitly say show_pager => false it should be possible to make false a default value, right?

Hi, I''m a little confused about sessions. I have two objects, object "Apple" and object "Banana". These two objects have an N:M relationship. What I am doing is listing All of the Banana objects that are associated with a single Apple, then below that listing all of the Banana objects not associated with that same Apple. The user is then allowed to change the

For the last few days I've been thinking about my company and what it really should do, and as much as the current plan seems reasonable, I think in good conscience I really can't help but to bring up an alternative plan: The support for Dovecot is quite good already, but wouldn't it be better if it was GUARANTEED that your email server was ALWAYS working with zero downtime or other

Is there support yet for adding something to a list in sorted order? For example, you have a form to add a new item and you want the new item to be inserted in the list in the proper order. I''ve noticed the :position option in the form_remote_tag but it doesn''t seem like you can use it to keep things in sorted order. Rod Schmidt http://rodschmidt.blogspot.com "Do or

All, Just musing about this whole FastCGI thing (that I hadn''t even thought of since 1999 when looking at OpenMarket for a customer and even then it was "old"), and wondering when we might see projects/products that attempt to provide Ruby application services in a J2EE-like container. I see the Cerise project - any interesting information on that? I''m assuming

That code should do it, but I realized you only detect setjmp functions by name. My code is calling "__sigsetjmp" not "segsetjmp". You only support these functions: static const char *ReturnsTwiceFns[] = { "_setjmp", "setjmp", "sigsetjmp", "setjmp_syscall", "savectx", "qsetjmp",
