[Rails] Re: mysql gem install not happening on Mac OS Leopard - any inputs at all??
Hello Marnen, On the contrary, I find hivelogic's logic (:P) quite sound. I understand that the possibility of software updates breaking the environment is kinda remote, but learning to build from source and knowing exactly where your software is helps a lot. Whats the point in developing in RoR but having little knowledge of where your components are installed on your machine or how to update them? I help maintain a couple other Macs where we followed hivelogic's article the very day the Macs were opened from their boxes, and they have no issues whatsoever in maintenance. In contrast, my setup has been giving trouble regularly. Still remains to be seen though, whether having hivelogic's setup on top now on my machine will work consistently :). Besides, gem install mysql simply dint work in my older setup. Spent couple of weeks on it. On Jul 7, 1:28 am, Marnen Laibow-Koser wrote: > Ram wrote: > > Okay ...

[Rails] Re: Is this book dated?
About RadRails: Why should I spend my time with syntax controlling, checking, if I should spend my time with the customer? I think it is agile attitude, right? :) I use RadRails as an Eclipse plugin (for free), and it helps a lot! Mostly if you are not a real expert, many helpful features, text high- lighting. Maybe basic stuff, but also terminal, project viewer included, so I do not need to change the window 4 times if I change a little chunk of code, or I do not miss to restart the server... Later it will help me in refactoring, if I need, and many other little stuff. It was a good choice I must say! But: I also tried NetBeans, and its Rails plugin. The same, I think that is also terrific! :) Give them a try, these are free, and never believe those, who wants to work too much! ;) gezope On júl. 6, 09:41, Angel Robert Marquez wrote: > http://apress.com/book/view/9781590597811 > > I acquired this book and it has the info I thought I wanted; but, I'm not > sure. > > Is there something better more current out there?

I am currently reading this one: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition it helped me to build a webshop from totally 0! :) But as someone else also suggested, the 4th edition coming soon: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails4/agile-web-development-with-rails (they wrote in October, and they won't be late I think!) and it is about Rails 3! :) It also helps me to get involved into this agile method. Also their other books are similar in this point, for example using Github is only 150 pages or like that, and extremely useful, alos for a beginner like me, absolutely understandable!

I agree the file browser side pane is nice.

[Rails] Re: Is this book dated?
Sorry but the advice to "don't use an IDE because Rails doesn't need one" is as dated as this book. Today's IDEs give you significant advantages over a text editor, to name but a few: Visual debugging. No Rails configuration required, already understands the Rails structure for easy navigation. Integration with Rspec et al; run tests with a click, visual debug again, etc. Integration with Git; browse your changes, 1-click to diff, etc. Netbeans is good I agree (plus has an awesome flawless Vim plugin), but I now use RubyMine which is better (although the Vim plugin blows), but it's not free though.

Re: [Rails] Help - Google Charts on Rails Plugin
Sorry, I'll explain it better. Well, I'm starting in rails now and was testing some things with plugins. I wanted to create some graphs in my plugin to generate reports using the google charts to show the data that was saved in the db. I was not able to generate the chart, but I managed to run one of an example. Only now I have a new problem, my plugin needs to access a data class from another plugin so I can take the data bank, but when I try to see if they sought the data only appears so: #. For example: @dados = Resposta.find(:all, :conditions => ["nota = ? AND pergunta_id = ?", "1", "2"]) This class 'Resposta' is another plugin, how do you get these figures in my class the plugin I'm doing? I need them so I can use in my chart. Since already many thanks to all! Me desculpe, vou me explicar melhor. Bom, eu estou iniciando no rails agora e estava testando algumas coisas com plugins. Eu queria criar uns gráficos no meu plugin de geração de relatórios usando o google charts pra mostrar os dados que foram salvos no banco. Eu não estava conseguindo gerar gráfico, mas consegui rodar um de um exemplo. Só que agora estou com um novo problema, meu plugin precisa acessar uns dados de classe de outro plugin pra poder pegar os dados do banco, mas quando eu tento ver se buscou os dados só aparece isso: # . Por exemplo: @dados = Resposta.find(:all, :conditions => ["nota = ? AND pergunta_id = ?", "1", "2"]). Esta classe 'Resposta' é de outro plugin, como faço pra obter estes dados na minha classe do plugin que estou fazendo? Preciso deles pra poder usar no meu gráfico.

Note that, depending on the company organization, a title like "project manager" may not actually be a vertical promotion from "developer". At the company I work at (a digital services wing of an adverstising / PR business), project managers are the principal liaison to clients and handle a lot of the tedious parts - collecting requirements, chasing down documents, tracking deadlines, triaging incoming "OMG THE SITE IS DOWN" calls, etc. However, as a developer, I don't "belong" to a particular PM and work with several depending on load and client needs. You may also want to expand your search beyond "Rails-only" shops; there's an awful lot of places that are carrying around legacy PHP, etc. systems but want to develop with the "new hotness" for new work. Being somebody who can handle dealing with both would seem to be a significant advantage. BTW: if you were in Ohio, I'd be wanting your resume. We're currently looking to hire a developer with (mostly) PHP and a little Rails background.

Add to that bonus nasties like directly frobbing the core of a running VPS instance from the hypervisor, and you're back in security hell again. BTW, .Net code is similarly not "secure", since you're handing over binaries with the setup program. The real question is not "is the code 100% secure" - it's physically impossible for that to be the case unless the server itself is somehow locked up, etc etc etc. The real question is, "is the code worth stealing"? If it is, then the best protection to invest in is the oldest: LAWYERS. The reason that (for instance) stolen copies of the Windows source aren't available has nothing to do with l33t security on the code repository, but rather the army of rabid lawyers bound to descend on anyone that posts it.

Period. That's all. OK, I now have to modify my answer. With Ralph's latest question, I see what you're getting at. So, here's the modified answer: In Rails, every public controller method can, by definition, *behave as* an action -- that is, it can be called with suitable use of render :controller, :action. It can also be called with a regular Ruby-style method call, in which case it does not behave as an action. Whether a public controller method behaves as an action depends not on the method itself but on how it's called. That said, if you have a controller method (such as Ralph's fetch_logged_user) that is not meant to be called as an action, it is an extremely good idea to make it non-public (that is, private or protected) so that it cannot be called as an action accidentally (or maliciously).

You're quite right. When you do a straight method call, the filter chain is not invoked -- after all, it's just a straight method call, and it works just like it does anywhere else in Ruby. It's only invoked when you call a controller method *as an action* -- that is, when you go through the whole Rails stack, as with a Web request or with render :controller, :action -- that the filter chain is invoked.

Couldn't an unauthorized user create the > session[:user_id] = user.id and then get access? A good question! You are thinking the right way. Fortunately this question has been asked already and the answer is that the session is a signed piece of data using an HMAC. This means that if an attacker tries to change the values in the session store that the signature will fail. The signature check in Rails will catch this and the user will see a 422 error. Try it! Note that the session is only signed and not encrypted. So don't store anything there that you don't want the user to be able to see. It is only protected from modification and not protected from being seen.

And what are your plans if the user's browser isn't running

[Rails] View Path and Plugins
I have a plugin. I want to include some baseline views for the app code
to "just use" -- meaning no need to copy files into /app, and no need to
specify a path in the controller.
Is that possible? If I *have* to add something to the controller, that's
fine. The more important need is to have files reside in the plugin
folder.
I've googled and played with various blog tips, but nothing is working
the way I am wanting. This is not a case of applying skins or themes. I
just want a set of default files to be available to the app.
The closest thing I found was this post, but it doesn't work.
http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/2/4/new-feature-for-rails-2-0-multiple-controller-view-paths
The key piece that confuses me is the line
ActionController::Base.view_paths.unshift File.join(directory, 'views')
-- it's not clear where "directory" is being defined.
I tried this with no joy:
plugin_folder = "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}"
ActionController::Base.view_paths.unshift File.join(plugin_folder,
'views')
I must be missing something, because the above blog post seems like this
should be fairly simple.

In fact would it be true to say that no method of a controller is inherently an action or not an action? An action is a verb not a noun so it is not correct to say that a method is or is not an action. An action (initiated via a url or redirect_to for example) results in calling a method of a controller and it is under these circumstances that the filters are called. Calling a method directly from code will not result in filters being called. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Polymorphic abstraction of Models, design help needed
We have Models like Supplier, Distributor, Vendor, Buyer in our
schema. These entities have some common attributes ( like name,
description, sales offices etc.) but mostly they have a divergent
schema with different has_many :through associations ( a vendor has
many stock_keeping_units , others do not) because of which they needed
to be collapsed to separate models.
We also have various types of Events in the system, for example, a
partnership event, a distributorship event, a procurement event, etc.
How can I create a is_a relationship and abstract these buyer, vendor,
etc models to a Company Model and when creating an event , like say a
partnership event, simply say Company 1 partnered with Company 2
without worrying what the company type is, so that I can do something
like this on my form partial for an Event Submission:
<%= f.label "Company 1" %>
<%= f.collection_select :partnering_company_id_1,
Company.all ,:id, :name, { :default => true} %>
I am willing to share more details of the schema in case its needed.
Is this possible? I recently came across this blog post (http://
mediumexposure.com/multiple-table-inheritance-active-record/) which
goes ahead and describes some smart Mutiple Table Inheritance but I am
not sure if this is applicable to the current problem statement.

Hi Tino, Thanks for using VirtualRails :) you're right, there was a mistake in our documentation, now the Rails version mentioned vor virtualrails 1.1 will be everywhere 2.3.4, and we will soon release a new version with rails 2.3.5 rails. with the actual 1.1 version, you can open a terminal and run the following command : sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.5 it works just fine, and you will have the followinf output : virtualra...@jay ~ $ sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.5 [sudo] password for virtualrails: Successfully installed activesupport-2.3.5 Successfully installed activerecord-2.3.5 Successfully installed actionpack-2.3.5 Successfully installed actionmailer-2.3.5 Successfully installed activeresource-2.3.5 Successfully installed rails-2.3.5 6 gems installed Installing ri documentation for activesupport-2.3.5...

For example, if you have class PlaysController < ApplicationController def write_shakespeare ... end end then (unless I'm badly mistaken) you can get to the write_shakespeare method by (say) calling redirect_to :controller => 'plays', :action => 'write_shakespeare' regardless of what's in your routes file. There may not be a direct URL to that action, but that doesn't prevent it from being an action.

Hi Ralph, Good question. Methods in controllers are considered actions only if they're connected to a url. Urls are connected to controller methods by using routes. The routes.rb file lists all of the routes that will connect urls to controllers and actions. In your routes, when you use map.connect (in Rails 1.x, 2.x) you directly connect a url to an action method. In Rails 3.0, this is done with match() instead of connect, but the idea is the same. If you use map.resources then you're connecting a whole slew of urls to a certain actions in your controller. Check the docs for details, but this is the "restful" style of URL handling, and means that these methods in your controller will become actions: index new create edit update show destroy Finally, be warned that in Rails 1.x and 2.x, when you generate a new Rails app, by default a pattern-match connector is written for you, exposing ALL of your methods as actions, which is probably not what you want. You should remove or comment those out. Jeff purpleworkshops.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

[Rails] Re: using ajax in nested attributes form
yes I'm currently using those last railscasts methods but it's getting
pretty difficult to use the method in the edit form.
I am trying to follow an ajax method that should insert a new nested
attirubte form upon clicking a submit button in a form_remote_for. I
put this in the create.rjs
association = :treatments
new_object =
@sample.class.reflect_on_association(association).klass.new
fields = :new_sample.fields_for(association, new_object, :child_index
=> "new_#{association}") do |builder|
render(association.to_s.singularize + "_fields", :f => builder)
end
page.insert_html :bottom, :sample, fields
but I don't know how I can refer to the parent object's form in order
to call field_for. ":new_sample" doesn't work. Any ideas?

[Rails] Re: how to make confirm boxes conditional?
Peter,
Actually, the matter is simpler than either of us seemed to
anticipate: the :confirm helper option just isn't very helpful. In
other words, all :confirm=>'Are you sure?' does is produce the raw
html onclick=>"return confirm('Are you sure?')". I had assumed that if
it were a helper, I should want to use it, not duplicate it, ergo my
post.
So, if anyone ever wants to make conditional the :confirm option of
the link_to/button_to erb function, use :onclick=>"if(...)
{ confirm('whatever text');}" -- involving whatever conditional logic
you like in the raw javascript.

[Rails] Re: flash message not clear
Finally I could reproduce the bug in a freshly created Rails 3
application, requiring one by one the gems I used in my first
application. The bug occurs when both twitter and sg-ruby gems are
required from Gemfile. If only one of both is required, the bug
disappears. Reading through the code of both gems, I could not figure
out how the bug appears. So to avoid the bug I just switched from the
twitter gem to the grackle gem.

If your client is determined to access your code even an encryption of the Ruby source code will not be sufficient. In order for MRI to interpret Ruby it must be decrypted. If the client has full access to the system then this means that they also have access to the encryption keys. This is the same issue that makes decrypting DVDs possible. The keys must be available to the system performing the decryption. Now maybe doing this will discourage a client from making the attempt, but if they are determined then there's nothing stopping them from hiring someone to "crack" your encryption. But, as I said it's not really cracking it since the encryption keys exist in a location where the client has access. Other compiled languages such as Java or .Net don't effectively protect your code either. Java (and likely .Net) can be easily decompiled into amazingly readable source code. In the end the only real solution is to protect your source code using operating system security and by contractual licensing. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you look at the html you should see that all the quantity input fields have the same name so they will all be in the same parameter in params which is no good. Google for text_field_tag array to find examples of how to do pass an array of values. I still don't understand why you have not got an order model (it does not have to map to a table in the db). Where are you putting the business logic for an order if you have not got an order model?

Wow, that's negative. Sure, in some cases people didn't get paid for their last couple of weeks work which is unfortunate, but "screwed"? If you got paid while you were there and learned a lot, what's the big deal? You could as easily come to work at BigCo one day to find out your division was being shut down and poof! there goes that job. How does that feel different? Having gone through both scenarios, I'd say: not at all. Next step in each case: go find some other work. And personally, assuming I wanted a "job", I would far rather be part of a small team at a startup than Anonymous Cog # 389976 at BigCo.

Re: [Rails] Re: Re: Re: How can I hide my Ruby code?
Exactly, proper permission management in Linux is the key to making this work. On top of that, if it's an internet-enabled server, I would never ever ever ever ever allow username + password access to the server unless that user is sandboxed, let alone allow root access (which is like putting a big sign on your porch saying: THE KEY IS UNDERNEATH THE DOORMAT). Use SSH key-based authentication instead. Give your customer an account that has rights to view their own home folder, but nothing else. If you really want to hide the code from the customer, host it yourself and let them pay for the hosted solution. If that's a no go and they don't want to give up their server management rights, then just rely on a very good contract (i.e. let a lawyer make it) that prohibits them from messing with the code. We should all know by know how effective DRM is, in whatever form you want to sell it (hiding code, checking licenses, always online measures, …) The company I work for had the same mindset, since we came from desktop apps where we had set up this whole structure of internet authenticating clients and monitoring systems and license keys and what not. My boss was afraid that our RoR projects would be copied or distributed illegally and he would lose money. Well, we didn't implement any security at all, and we've made a lot more money more than we used to, simply because we could spend more time making a great app instead of implementing great license validations and restrictions (if you can call those great to start off with). If you're worried about them changing the maximum number of users etc in your code, rethink your licensing strategy. On 06 Jul 2010, at 15:39, Jason Michael wrote: You do this in linux - not in ruby.

Re: [Rails] how to make confirm boxes conditional?
On 06 Jul 2010, at 14:47, Lille wrote: I'd like to make the :confirm option in my link_to/button_to erb elements conditional. So, if the page is in some state, no confirmation is requested, but not otherwise, etc. So far, my only (ugly) approach is to replace the linker html itself depending on changes in state, but I believe there must be an easier way to 'toggle' the confirmation option on/off. Can anyone recommend an approach? Write your own Javascript which handles these page state changes and confirmation instead of relying on Rails Javascript helpers. Those helpers were only made for the most basic operations. You wouldn't use a teaspoon to empty a bath either, even if you could put a bigger handle on the spoon. Flow: - Observe link clicks (you can add a class="confirmable" or something to them if you want to apply it only to that element) - Observe the elements on the page that will trigger a state change - If those elements are changed, add the state to window or something - When a link is clicked, it should see if window.state_changed == true and display the confirmation, if not, just window.location == link.href You would be best off implementing this in an event delegated way if there's a lot of elements that can change the page state, as well as new elements being injected into the page via AJAX.

[Rails] respond partial content
Hi. This may seem like an absurd request. However it is becausy I integrate with a legacy system. I am in the need to respond partial content (flush) before the action is fully complete. This should prevent the legacy system to timeout. I need to send HTTP headers and some content (to indicate to the client that my rails app is actually alive), and the at the end of the action to complete and close the connection. Something like this def index respond_headers do_something_that_takes_a_long_time #more than a minute render :text => 'DONE' end Does anybody know how to do this?

Is the client trying to keep the code hidden from his own sysadmins or are you trying to hide it from the client?

On 6 July 2010 13:13, Pale Horse wrote: > http://pastie.org/1032538 Once again you have snipped all the content so this will make no sense to anyone reading it without referring back to previous messages. What is this :order that you are referencing? Check the docs on text_field and you will find that it is designed to be used with attribute of an object. You have specified the product_quantity of the order object. Since you are attempting to pass a number of different quantities each must have a different name. In fact you probably want to pass them as an array. As I said before I would use text_field_tag in this situation. Also I would suggest using form_for if you do have an order model, for the attributes. Actually I think maybe it would be worthwhile knowing what your model relationships are. If you have the model relationships right then you can do clever things with nested forms. See http://railscasts.com/episodes/196-nested-model-form-part-1 for example.

[Rails] how to make confirm boxes conditional?
Hi, I'd like to make the :confirm option in my link_to/button_to erb elements conditional. So, if the page is in some state, no confirmation is requested, but not otherwise, etc. So far, my only (ugly) approach is to replace the linker html itself depending on changes in state, but I believe there must be an easier way to 'toggle' the confirmation option on/off. Can anyone recommend an approach? Thanks, Lille -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: [Rails] Re: About "Rails Recipes", Fowler, 2006
Richard, if you don't want to use any plug in and you want to write all the code for an authentication solution, but you can't port a 2006 solution to a 2010 one, you need to get more into Rail's inner workings and understand deeply how Rails work. Taking a look at the question you ask at the end of your original post, I'd say you're in the right path. On the other hand, you can try RestfulAuthentication, which generates a lot of code (models, views, controllers, tests, and more) in your app (on the contrary of Authlogic - which it doesn't) and take a look at that code to understand how it works. Getting a gasp on Rails might be difficult at the beginning if you have experience in other languages / frameworks because of how easy, well structured and thought is, but believe me, understanding how Rails works will save you a lot of time and work in the future. -- Mis mejores deseos, Best wishes, Meilleurs voeux, Juan Pablo -- http://www.twitter.com/eljuanchosf RichardOnRails wrote: Hey Marnen, Suppose someone posted on the Math Forum (if there is such a thing) the question: what are the roots of the following equation: 6x^2 - 13x + 6 = 0, I'd respond "3/2 & 2/3", not: 1. use the Quadratic Formula, nor 2. factor the polynomial After answering the question asked, I'd probably provide links to factoring and the Quadratic Formula. Where's the downside? For this app, we don't want any plug-ins. Discussing AuthLogic is secondary. No one seems interested in helping with the original question. Is that because the question is unanswerable, or because neither of you can answer it with the facts as I presented them? As Hamlet said so eloquently, "That is the question." Best,.

You guys may be right about the best way to add authentication to a Rails app. But that may not be the best way for me to learn Rails development. It probably is: you can do the easy stuff yourself while learning from plugins for the hard stuff. You can look at the plugin code, but in the meantime you know your app works. Where's the downside? I'll take a look at AuthLogic in due time. But right now I'd like some help in fixing a routing problem, so I'm going to post that question on a separate thread without the context of authentication. Thanks for your respponses.
