 Hi Folks,

 worked my way through a lot of resources (screencasts, forums,

 My problem is, the massive amount of information is overwhelming. I
 still look for a good point to start a project that enables me to

 would you suggest to be a good application to start with as a
 beginner? A project that is quite easy to setup, and makes sense for a
 Designer.

 This is the $64,000 question.  If create a new page each day just

[Rails] Re: Overwhelmed with choices concerning Rails best practices

2009-05-18 Thread Sazima

Hi Wayne,

I think you're too anxious. Software development best practices are
not so specific to RoR, you can follow well established patterns
independent of the language/platform of choice. Regarding new
technologies and Rails-specific techniques, I just tend to ignore them
if they are not particularly useful/necessary to the project at any
given moment.

Cheers, Sazima

On May 17, 8:45 am, Wayne Molina wayne.mol...@gmail.com wrote:
 As someone who has repeatedly tried to sit down and really pick up
 Ruby on Rails, the one deterrent I continually find is that the best
 way of doing things seem to change on a daily basis, and half the time
 nobody can agree with it.  Since my programming background is largely
 self-taught and without any formal CS education, I like to make a list
 of the right way to develop applications in a particular language/
 framework so I know that I'm going to be starting off on the right
 foot; this is in direct opposition to something like picking up a book
 on PHP, say, and cranking out junk sites and learning bad practices.

 In effect my problem is that whenever I sit down to really learn Rails
 (and I have almost a dozen books on it I've gathered over the past
 year, although a lot are from the prior edition - I have:  AWDWR 3rd
 Edition, Programming Ruby 2nd edition, The Ruby Way, The Rails Way,
 O'Reilly's Learning Rails, Ajax on Rails, Enterprise Rails, Apress
 Social Networking Sites with Rails, and RailsSpace) the community
 seems to have charged forward and changed its best practices, so it's
 just added a whole bunch of things I need to learn as well.

 For instance, the new thing seems to be BDD and RSpec, so I have to
 learn RSpec in addition to Rails and Ruby.  Git is used for version
 control, so that's something else.  RJS is out and unobtrusive stuff
 is in, so that means jQuery.  Hosting is now typically done with
 Phusion Passenger, so I have to learn Apache and that.  Finally with
 the Rails+Merb merger things are going to get shaken up even more so.
 I really want to learn Rails but the community seems to just keep
 jumping from one bandwagon to another without staying put long enough
 for somebody who didn't come aboard in 2005-2006 to ever get to
 speed.  Like I said I like to follow best practices because I come
 from .NET and I've seen what just slapping together code can do, and
 it's not pretty, so I feel like if I'm going to learn Rails, I need to
 learn it right from the start, not learn the obsolete way of writing
 it and then upgrade.

 Can somebody knock some sense into me in this regard?  I've been
 trying to learn Rails for over a year now and this is the main reason
 why I can never get more than basic tutorial-style stuff going on.

[Rails] Re: Sending messages between users

Why don't you use (or check how it's done) restful easy messages?
Alternatively, LOVD (lovdbyless.com) does it all.

 - content

 As i saw in some screencast the association use the user_id to connect users
 to something. But in my model there would be 2 user_id column which
 obviously doesn't work. So how do I do it?

 My workaround was to create a receiver and sender model which contained a
 user_id and a message_id. Then the message contained a sender_id,
 receiver_id and the content. However now I'm stuck somehow. *Maybe it's
 because 2:30am here and I should be in bed*. I don't know. Is there an
 easier workaround? Some tutorials, maybe?

 How do I collect my mails? Have a controller named messages where I tried
 this, but it doesn't work (I thing my association declaration are the
 cause):
 @inbox = current_user.message.find_by_receiver_id(:user)

 *The Models:*

 class *Message*  ActiveRecord::Base
   belongs_to :sender
   has_one :receiver

   validates_presence_of :sender
   validates_presence_of :receiver
   validates_length_of :content, :maximum = 4096

 class *Sender*  ActiveRecord::Base

 How do you post to an external form?  I think the easiest way would be
 to do a GET on the URL with the query arguments but I don't know how
 to do that in a Ruby on Rails controller.  And it'd be cool to figure
 out if the form submitted correctly.

Actually it could be as simple as adding some constants to represent
your states.

Example:
STARTED = 1
PROCESSING = 2
COMPLETED = 3
BILLED = 4
PAID = 5

if self.state  COMPLETED

You just want to avoid the use of a magic number by giving it clear
meaning.

 I like some of Vista's toys. Things like a functional Hibernate mode.

 So I tried qemu-puppy on a USB drive. It worked great, but SeaMonkey,
 the only functioning browser, instantly died with a silly .so file
 error as soon as I ever tried to do anything. So, instead of
 dedicating the rest of my career to learning how to mix and match
 puppy sfs files (with the usual impossible online forum support), I
 just switched to a dual-boot with Kubuntu. It will do fine with half a
 hard-drive.

 When puppy, in qemu, possibly with kqemu, was doing things like
 building Ruby in less than a minute, instead of 15 minutes or so. Of
 course the Kubuntu is faster.

 Any volunteers to go work for MS? To help them clean up their
 codebase? I didn't think so... (-:

  The actual tests themselves run between 2 and 3 times faster, but it

 Right - the program loader is pathetic. It assumes we want to load MS

[Rails] Re: Insight on creating an online file editor (create, edit files, browse tree structure)

2009-02-09 Thread Sazima

Well, you could try to 1st implement a remote shell, that is, you
submit a command (like ls -la), your controller executes it and then
you display the result in the browser. Maybe Capistrano gives you a
start on that.

After that you can work on the user interface (file tree, etc).

You then start working with file editing: you need to read the file
(maybe lock it), display to the user in a text area (possibly with a
WYSIWYG editor like www.fckeditor.net) and then submit the contents to
the server and save the file (check if it still exists) and so on...

After everything is working, you might find it appealing glue it all

[Rails] Re: What is the url for my public folder

2009-02-06 Thread Sazima

Shandy,

Phlip is too concise, but right. The URL of your public folder is
www.mysite.com/

So www.mysite.com/images/1.gif is the URL for the file 1.gif in the
images directory of your public folder. Got it?

Nonetheless, your public folder is just for your static assets. Rails
actions are handled dinamically by the appropriate controller in the
app/controllers folder.

Cheers, Sazima

 Feel free to alter the first, second and/or third terms until the
 equation balances.

 It sounds like you have the correct processes in place, you just need
 some scope management.  With the idea that less is more, fewer bugs
 attempted should yield less rework, and less missed dates (and maybe get
 you home in time for dinner).

 Prioritize the bugs that are on the list, and don't be afraid to start
 tossing low priority bugs off the list if the scope of a higher priority
 change is larger than anticipated.

 Overtime may work for short bursts, but fact is fact... tired
 programmers make mistakes.

  Exactly.

 I feel compelled to point out that this is only part of the story.
 First of all, it is always possible to specify a weird font as first

 font.

 Second -- and more important -- is the fact that more and more
 browsers support dynamic font embedding as specified in the CSS2

 Regarding the religious war you are referring to, I don't know why
 you say that. As a Merb team member I can assure you that there is not

 there is no war. And it is certainly not something personal. As
 mentioned before, we have a lot of respect for DHH and the rest of the
 Rails team. Without them, I wouldn't do what I do now and Merb would
 not even exist. So, please don't mention some crazy sabotage theories
 and maybe people will stop thinking that there is a war going on.

[Rails] Re: What's this called (nuby on rails question)

2009-01-13 Thread Sazima

Sam,

I performed an analysis on background processing alternatives (see
below). I greatly recommend rolling out your own daemon for recurring
jobs, or using starling+workling for offloading jobs from your rails
app. Both alternatives are covered in excellent railscasts by Ryan
Bates.

Cheers, Sazima

BACKGROUND PROCESSES
-

http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToRunBackgroundJobsInRails

== Asynchronous Tasks

Launched from Rails request/reponse cycle + optional Message Queueing

- Options
. ar_mailer (only for emails)   = GOOD (only email)
. starling + workling   = EXCELLENT
. Ap4r
. Spawn / background= SIMPLE
. ActiveMessaging
. BackgroundFu
. WorkerQueue
. Rake in Background= SIMPLE
  (http://railscasts.com/episodes/127-rake-in-background)

== Recurring Jobs (cron-style)

Scheduled or permanently running in the background

- Options
. daemon_generator (rails_cron) = SIMPLE
  http://railscasts.com/episodes/129-custom-daemon
. BackgrounDRb
. rufus-scheduler   = GOOD
. Taskr
. UNIX Cron and Runner (simple, but consumes resources and you can't
controll well)

[Rails] Re: Rails Hosting

2009-01-07 Thread Sazima

Pete,

Since you have multiple apps, you should look for a provider that
offers Passenger. I had a similar setup whith 3 apps, each run by 4
mongrels. Result: out of memory! With Passenger you don't waste
resources on apps without traffic at any given moment.

Cheers, Sazima

 Hi-

 I've done some searching, but since there are many options, I'd like
 to get some feedback from the group at large.

 I have a couple of Rails apps that will likely not see too much
 traffic and I would like to find a public home for them.  Since these
 sites are not generating any revenue for me, I'd like to find a less
 expensive home.

 Anyone have a suggestion, or know of a good resource, for a good, less-
 expensive hosting service to get up and running?

 Thanks!

[Rails] Re: Quick one! -- Project Messages!!

2009-01-06 Thread Sazima

Ryan,

If I understood correctly, he already has an index action that shows
truncated messages. He asked for a 2nd page to show the whole content
of all messages.

He would probably be better off using a nested route for only 1 action
(index) and retrieving the rest of the message asynchronously with
AJAX on-demand, but that might be too much at once.

Cheers, Sazima

On Jan 5, 7:05 pm, Ryan Bigg radarliste...@gmail.com wrote:
 Woah.

 Firstly, why are you calling .collect on project.messages and  
 everything? This is unnecessary.

 Secondly, if messages is an association for a project it would be  
 better if you used nested routes, as explained 
 here:http://guides.rails.info/routing_outside_in.html
 . Your controller would be called messages_controller and the action  
 would be called index, not messages.

 In my project view page you can see the messages (but they are truncated

 Do I create a page called messages.html.erb?

 I would also like to be able to comment on each of the messages on the

If this 2nd page you want will contain only 1 message, then it is the
standard show action + view... Otherwise you can add a named route and
use whatever name you want for the action and view. But it can be
trickier to add comments.

After a LOT of struggling, I managed to install REE + Passenger on
Solaris and everything seems to work when Passenger serves the
applications. But there's one annoying details still pending: when I

rubygems load error (require 'rubygems'). Why does it work under
Passenger and not in the cmdline? Any clues on what's wrong?

 If I'm not wrong, relational algebra doesn't identify a sequence between
 the elements of a row, i.e., I don't think it gives you the ability to
 select a column specifically.  That said, you could probe for the schema
 and get the elements using that - something like how the dynamic

[Rails] Re: News Roll

2008-12-11 Thread Sazima

Jaikishan,

There's no such thing in HTTP. The server can only answer client
requests, not the other way around.

Your 1st approach is correct, except your assumption of needing a
separate thread. What Fred meant is that exactly that, you don't need
a separate thread. Your regular Rails app should be more than capable
to respond to these AJAX requests.

Cheers, Sazima

[Rails] Re: New to Rails... Help!

2008-12-02 Thread Sazima

Jay,

You're confusing Rails with InstantRails. Rails is the web framework,
Instant Rails is a package containing Rails + web server + DB, etc.

Google for Rails books, there are also plenty of suggestions in other
topics in this group. Finally, if you have the time, I would start by
1st learning Ruby and then moving to Rails with AWDR, The Rails Way,
etc.

[Rails] Re: Database password encryption

2008-11-27 Thread Sazima

Pepe,

Unless you have a secure dedicated HW (something along the lines of
the HSMs used in the financial industry), just encrypting the password
is no better, as the encryption key must be stored somewhere and you
end up with exactly the same problem...

Cheers, Sazima

On Nov 27, 2:08 am, pepe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Thanks Brian

 Like you said, it's not the best answer in this case. The company
 policy has changed and these people are scrutinized by the government,
 so the encryption is pretty much a must do.

 I have two ideas to solve this:

 1. Hack the 'establish_connection' method (wherever it is. I am not an
 expert...) and before the method is used decrypt the password already
 read from database.yml.
 2. Create a class that would establish the connection from within the
 models I have themselves and forget about going the regular Rails way.

 I don't like either way and I was just hoping that somebody had
 already ran into this and had a better solution.

 Thanks for your suggestion, though.

  If they're asking you to encrypt thepasswordin thedatabase.yml file

  If they can get access to that file and read its contents, chances are
  good that they can also start up the console, modify your ruby code,

  I realize that might not be the best answer, but as I understand it,

 OK, time to come clean.  Right now my app is doing something really
 cheesy.  The first step is alway admitting that you have a problem,
 right?

 So here's the deal.  One of the features of my app is that, based on
 some user settings, it is supposed to send out reminder emails at
 certain times of the day.  Each user has their own time settings for
 these reminders.

 Right now I have a background task that, once every 15 mins, looks at
 every gosh darn user and decides whether or not to send them a reminder.
 Once every 15 mins I hit every single user row in the database.
 brrr.  Yeah, I know, gives me the willies too.

 So is there some sort of a best practice established for how to do
 some caching/intelligent-scheduling to overcome this horrendous mis-use
 of the database?  Is there some sort of a plugin that would allow me to
 sort the database by that time-of-day column and intelligently find just
 those within a certain range of times?

 I'm very nearly an SQL virgin, so if this is painfully simple and I'm
 just a moron, be gentle.

 thanks,
 jp

[Rails] Re: How do I only show items that belong to a certain user?

2008-10-20 Thread Sazima

@user.documents

 I have a web application with users and their documents. Each user can
 have many documents:

 user.rb:

 has_many :documents

 document.rb:

 belongs_to :user

 document_controller.rb:

 I am using the restful_authentication plugin. Here is my question: How
 do I get the controller to only show documents that belongs to each
 user? Right now it shows all the documents for all the users.

 I am using the latest version of Rails.

[Rails] Re: Track number of clicks on a link

2008-09-26 Thread Sazima

Hey Dan,

Why don't you pass an unique ID parameter in each link (either GET or
POST) and use this in a before_filter in the application controller?
The filter would just increment the count for that ID in a separate
table. This is a general design that would work for anything. Later
you can use this information with some sort of mapping that says what
each ID means (or just put a title for each ID in the table).
Something like:

== Links

a href=http://mysite.com?ID=1;Link 1/a

== application.rb

  before_filter :inc_link_count

  def inc_link_count
li = Link.find(params[:ID])
li.count++
li.save
  end


Cheers, Sazima

Hello,

So I am trying to simply track the number of hits a link has received
and display that number on the site so other users can see which links
are more popular. So once the link is clicked on it adds a +1 value to
the hits column in the database and then redirects the person to the
url that the link is supposed to go to. So far this is what I have.

I have a tutorials table in my database and a column for hits and a
column for url.

** tutorials_controller.rb **

def update_hits_count
    [EMAIL PROTECTED] :hits, params[:count].size + 1
   if @tutorial.save
      redirect_to url_for(@tutorial.url)
   end
end

   modify the method so it suits any controller,
   like in self.update_attribute
   add the method to application_controller
   whenever you want to add a hit you call it,
   like in
   def index
       update_hits_count
   end

 it really depends on what you want to track
 hits on a single controller/action (probably writing on a file) or in
 many
 more likely you'll need a tracking model hits
 that has something like
 controller :string
 action :string
 hits :integer

 define a addhit method on the model
 self.hits = self.hits +1

 create a method in application controller
 def update_hit_counts
 @hit.find(:first, :controller = controller, :method = method)
 @hit.addhit

 (you can use the current method and controller form rails environmental
 variables)

 then when you want to register a hit
 inside the method you call
 update_hit_counts

 (ads one query and one write per request)





** view/tutorials/show.html.erb **

% for tutorial in @tutorials %
    %=link_to tutorial.title, {:action = 'update_hits_count', :count
= tutorial.hits} %
% end %

That is what I have so far and when you click on the link the hits
column in the tutorials table just gets set to null and it does not
redirect them to the proper url.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
