[Rails] [JOB] App re-write
I have an application that needs to be rewritten in Rails and am beginning the process of identifying potential vendors and obtaining bids. The app is currently written in Perl / Catalyst though I do not believe that a lack of experience in that language / framework will be an obstacle. The objective of the re-write is to reproduce the app's existing functionality from an end-user perspective. Bidders will be able to use the existing app and will have access to a set of training videos. I'm interested in getting this done quickly, so one-man-shops will not be considered. If you're interested, please contact me at my business email address: bill at raybec dot com. Replying to the list, rather than to the email address given in the last sentence, will be taken as evidence of an inability to follow simple instructions. If you do so, do not not expect a reply.

Hello all,
I am writing an app to stream log files (or any files) on the browser as
they grow. The idea is that the rails app should do a 'tail -f' on the file
and keep sending the data to the browser. I was thinking if there was any
way to achieve this in rails.
Through googling, I came across the 'streaming' support in rails. But, I
didn't get it working. Here is what I tried
class LogsController ApplicationController
def index
headers['X-Accel-Buffering'] = 'no'
self.status = 200
self.response_body = Streamer.new
end
end
class Streamer
def each
10.times do |n|
yield Streaming...#{n}
if (n % 1000 == 0)
sleep 1
end
end
end
end
The browser time outs waiting for the data.
Can you please let me know how can I achieve this functionality in rails?
thanks
ravi

Re: [Rails] How to allow the user to user their own domain name
Hi Loganathan, On Thursday, December 6, 2012 4:12:22 AM UTC-6, Loganathan Sellappa wrote: Please have a look on to the www.shopify.com, where each user can create a store with unique domain(subdomain) name like www.logan.shopify.com. This is the stereotypical Rails approach to multi-tenancy. The database contains, in the case of Shopify, the products of many stores (logan is a store). The key to multi-tenant apps is to ensure that all requests are scoped to a specific store. In order to accomplish this in a Rails app a before_filter is used in application_controller.rb. It typically looks like this. def current_store @current_store ||= Store.where(subdomain = ?, request.subdomains.last) end The request to retrieve products (current_store.products) will retrieve only those records that belong to the correct (per the url) store. Currently I creating the same kind of application but I need an extra feature where user can choose their own domain name while store registration process like www.logan.com instead of www.logan.shopify.com http://www.loganathan.shopify.com. The thing is user can point their store with their own domain(can be registered with any providers like Godaddy,Dreamhost) instead of subdomain. I'm assuming that you mean you want the user to be able to choose to use one or the other. You'll probably get more readable code by adding a domain field to the stores table and have it default to your app's domain. The current_store method could end up looking something like... def current_store unless @current_store if request.domain == 'shopify.com' @current_store = Store.where(subdomain = ?, request.subdomains.last) else @current_store = Store.where(domain = ?, request.domain) end end @current_store end HTH, Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Talk group.

Hi Pierre, On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 11:23 AM, PierreW wamre...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi Colin, Bill Here is what we are doing: - we pass to our service the Model objects (we Marshal.dump them in the main app, enqueue them, and the service Marshal.load them) instead of their unique ID. - in the service, we just need to access some of the models' methods. We know these methods don't need a DB connection. The reason we have it setup like this is initially, we were running these tasks in threads within a background job (threads caused a bunch of issues when we were using the DB, so we made sure what we passed to the threads would never use the DB). Bill: we run this service completely independently, on a different box. So it does not have access to the app. Maybe we should not be doing something like this? If the methods don't need access to the DB, then the question is do they need access to the AR object? Or are they being passed the data they need to work on as arguments? If the latter, then they're more 'helpers' and could be re-factored out into a module to be included in the model and, independently, in the service. If that doesn't sound feasible, post some code so we can see better what you're doing.

Re: [Rails] Eager Load Grandchilden w/o Children

end
class Appointment AR::B
belongs_to :claim
belongs_to :student
end
class Student AR::B

My users that administer these accounts want to be able to look at claims
in the index but need to know who these claims were for. My first attempt
building the view resulted in 2*N + 1 queries for getting the student's
name, the second implementation paired that down to N+1 but obviously that
still sucks. To totally avert the N+1 query problem typically I'd just
eager load what I needed via Claim.includes(:appointments = :student) but
I'd really like to avoid this here since I'll never actually use the
appointments in the view. I've tried a has_one :through but rails doesn't
allow a collection to then point at a single record this way, I've also
tried just loading them via: Student.joins('join through to
claims').where(claims.id in (?),claims.map(:id)) in the
presenter/controller but since everything is lazy loaded the query never
gets executed and then the N+1 loads start. The third though I had was
doing a belongs_to with conditions but there isn't any way to include
joins in there so that's out. My last thought is to do something like:
class Claim AR::B
has_many :appointments
has_one :appointment
has_one :student, :through = :appointment
end
but that clutters up the methods and would leave us open to the mistake of
looking for the collection and getting the single. Are there any
suggestions out there aside from loading the whole tree?
If it were me, I'd get rid of the student method and just put a has_many
and belongs_to relationship directly between Student and Claim. You can
have both that and the relationship through Appointment.

Maybe I'm missing something but ... You say 'everything' is working fine without Ajax which, to me, means that you already know the user id and are sending it to the view when you render the 'new' view. The user object is available to you in that view. So there are a couple of 'easy' approaches to your problem. If you're doing a full page render then you can do an erb substitution into the Ajax url in your jQuery. If you'd prefer to grab the user id via jQuery for whatever reason, you can put it in the page via a hidden_field_tag when you render the form and use that to construct your Ajax url, perhaps by binding a function to the .submit.

There was a time when there were a lot of postings from recruiters and several list members voiced a preference for this approach so that those posts could be filtered. There are a number of Ruby / Rails -specific job boards now and I guess the recruiters are getting sufficient response from those that they're mostly leaving the list alone. WRT, postings for availability, I don't recall it ever being clearly resolved. There was, iirc, a general feeling that shops advertising their services was both inappropriate and a waste of effort since the audience here was / is individual developers. I recall a discussion wherein the recommendation was that notice of individual availability be handled via a sig line.

Try giving it an id of a different name. My guess is that jquery is

I think so... I've been staring at firebug and even copied the errors out of

fact, I enabled it to 'render :partial = permissions' and it clearly wants
to respond with html and not js.

The Accept header content is on the 4th line of the request section. In this case, the client is telling the server that its first preference is for html and you can see from 2nd line in the response section that that is what the server sends back.

This bit me yesterday. You've told rails that you're going to respond
differently depending on what format the client requested by using
respond_to. But then didn't tell rails what those response options
are. You need to put a format block around the response.
Function
-
def import

@details = JSON.parse(json)
@profiles = Profile.where(@details)
respond_to do |format|
format.js{
puts(render :json =@profiles,:except =

Re: [Rails] Ruby adoption statistics
Hi Andrew, On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Andrew misbehav...@gmail.com wrote: Do you know where I can find articles/statistics on Ruby adoption It's going to be difficult to get good data. The biggest reason, IMHO, is that companies that do adopt RoR are going to be doing so for the productivity. If it works, they're not going to talk about it. That's what 'strategic advantages' are all about. Keep your mouth shut and hope your competitors don't figure it out. If you're convinced that you need hard data then I'd recommend looking for secondary indicators: growth of hosting providers is one. How many are there today vs. 2 years ago. Do they say anything about customer base? What about financial condition? There are tertiary indicators as well. Of those hosting providers, how many moved into new digs this year? They moving up? Or scaling back? I doubt very seriously that the leg-work will pay off (see below for why) but it would be an interesting exercise. If you do undertake it, I'm sure you'll be able to find a publisher who'll pay you a small amount (way out of proportion if you do the per-hour calculation, so don't ;-) ) to publish it. and how I can convince my co-worker(s) that Ruby is the way to go? You probably can't 'convince' them. The choice isn't so much rational as it is personal preference. There are, IME, two ends to the programmer-preference spectrum: Java and Rails. The spectrum is most easily characterized by the individual's tolerance for delay in the gratification / feedback loop. I liken the Java end to the guys who build the huge, elaborate domino knock-down displays. Please understand that I am not criticizing at all; simply making an observation on human nature. The domino guys get a big dose of gratification when the dominoes all fall. But it's not about the dominoes falling. It's about the validation that all the setup steps were done perfectly. It's the validation that counts. If the dominoes all fell because the ground shook, there'd be no joy. So if I were you (embarked on organizational change) I'd ignore the developers who've already expressed a preference for Java. Focus on the ones that may be more attracted to a rapid-feedback model. Introduce them gently; perhaps via your local ruby brigade. Get them around some folks who are clearly having more fun than them. In any event, they'll get some free pizza ;-) Good luck and best regards, Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Talk group.

[Rails] actual request-received time?
There are a number of 'layers' a request must pass through before it actually 'hits' a Rails app (e.g., Apache receives a request, Apache starts a new thread, new thread processes the request and determines that it's for a dynamic resource so Apache thread passes it to Passenger, Passenger passes it to or starts a new Rails process, Rails app begins processing request. ...)

[Rails] is Rack right for this?
Greetings, My 2.3.2 app has 2 components. It serves a browser-based client, and it serves a web service client. Each client has its own set of controllers to separate authentication / authorization cleanly and clearly. The web service client sends gets, posts, and puts, some with xml bodies, and the app responds with status / location and xml bodies where appropriate. I'm in the beginning stages of moving the app to Rails 3. One thing I'd like to accomplish is to reduce the start-up overhead associated with the web service requests if possible. I really don't need / use the erb functionality in constructing the responses, for example. The thing I don't have my arms around at this point is how to get the controller and model 'stuff' loaded without the bulk of the view 'stuff'.' Anybody got any experience / insight to share.

Re: [Rails] Re: Need an online payment system - suggestions required

One of the features that is missing at the moment is a way for users to fill in their credit card details and click send to purchase our products that we offer on our website. We are relatively new to this concept, so we do not know where to start? I am guessing we have to open up a merchant account? Is this the right term? Or Is it an online gateway payment system? So far, I've come across the following: Braintree, PaySimple, TrustCommerce, BeanStream, Shopify, Authorize.net Ive also come across a plugin called ActiveMerchant, which, I assume handles the interface to send data to whichever merchant account I end up signing with. Is this correct? What should I look for when considering one of the above services? Fees? Processing fee per transaction? Monthly billings, etc? Any additional information will be appreciated. This question interests me too. Strange not to have got any response to this- I wonder how many people have actually implemented a payment gateway on a rails site - it doesn't seem to appear in posts lately.. The situation with regard to taking credit card payments has changed substantially, perhaps fundamentally is a more accurate word, in the last year. Long-story-short, your best option is to get set up with a Payment Gateway that will handle your interactions with Payment Processor(s). If you Google 'credit card payment gateway' you will find many. The change that has taken place results from legislative action responding to system breaches that have resulted in credit card info being compromised. (http://www.google.com/search?q=credit+card+breach+statistics) What has emerged is a 'system' wherein your site never sees the actual credit card information that the user enters. It gets submitted directly to the Payment Gateway which passes it to the Payment Processor and then passes the response back to you along with a 'token' for that credit card which you can use to make charges against it for future purchases. The token is only recognized as valid by the Payment Gateway if it comes from your system. What that means is that you are not storing anything that could be used by someone who broke into your system. You have no credit card info, and the tokens aren't usable by any system but yours. My experience with this began about a year and a half ago. The company I work for sells a SaaS POS system that provides our customers with the ability to take credit cards. The Payment Processor we initially talked to told us that we needed to either go the Payment Gateway route (which they strongly recommended) or to get ready to spend around $50K, not counting our time, for a PCI audit / certification. In order to deal directly with Payment Processors you now must be certified as PCI-compliant. If you need more help, particularly with respect to the 'what should I look for ...' question, I'd be happy to offer it off-line as this really has nothing at all to do with Rails.

As it stands, I can do one or the other and aren't sure how to get both to work. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html I suspect the answer to your problem lies in the last sentence of the 'Multipart Emails' section which says: Implicit template rendering is not performed if any attachments or parts have been added to the email. This means that you’ll have to manually add each part to the email and set the content type of the email to multipart/alternative. The latter portion of the 'Mailer Models' section addresses explicit template rendering. Googling 'rails mailer explicit template rendering' offered up some links that look helpful.

Probabl, though you'd have to throw an exception for a transaction to be effective. IIRC, Rails3 has support for creating associated records built in but I haven't gotten around to working with 3 and you didn't say what version you're using. The easiest, most readable thing to do might be to just, in the controller... if @user.save and @user.user_site It's probably better, though, to move it into the User model's after_create (untested code) after_create :create_default_user_site_rec def create_default_user_site_rec user_site_rec = UserSite.new user_site_rec.user_id = self.id unless user_site.save self.destroy false end end Tricky thing here is I'm not sure off the top of my head if the failure of the after_create and its returning false will translate into the save itself returning false. Sorry I don't have the time to run it to ground for you. Hopefully this will give you some options to investigate.

What places do you recommend to an add? I would suggest that you need to first identify your needs to decide whether your new site is more web site, web application, or CMS. Much of that decision depends on the type of content (static vs. dynamically driven by database content, how often static content changes, and whether or not you want end-users top be able to make most if not all changes to static content without developer assistance. Having made that choice, you 're then ready to begin comparing options with respect to the tools you'll use to build that site. Ruby on Rails is the tool of choice for most readers of this list. It is, IMHO, the preeminent choice if you need a database-driven web application. It would be a very poor choice if what you really need is just a static web site, and not much better if what you need is an end-user-editable CMS. At this point I think you're looking for someone who can help you identify your needs. I'm afraid I'm not aware of any mailing lists that focus on that space. So the first part of my recommendation would be to reach out, preferably to someone you already know and trust, for help in that. If you don't have someone like that in your 'circle', then feel free to ask here. There are many here who have that experience in their background and this is a very helpful list. A good starting point would be a link to the site you intend to rebuild, along with some explanation of _why_ you're rebuilding it; especially what it is that it doesn't do now that you really need it to do? You might want to start a new thread with a new subject; something that includes 'need advice'.
