Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:12:30 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/552/reward-40.00 I am looking for an online knowledge base solution for my workplace. The requirements are... 1. Delivered over the web (no downloads, no installs, no flash, no plugins) JavaScript is ok 2. Must work in latest IE+Firefox Features it should have... 1. search the knowledge base 2. some sort of rich text editor or similar 3. add attachments to articles I'd like a list of suitable solutions (and a link to the site) with a quick comparison of the features vs price. Let me clarify some points.... The solution MUST be hosted by the company offering the solution. (So no downloads or installs to get it up and running). The solution itself must also not require end users to have to download/install or use any plugins. I'd prefer an application/ajax look and feel vs page based refresh. The question asked to compare suitable solutions. Tue, 28 Aug 2007 15:40:31 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/532/reward-25.00 I want to nest a GWT application inside rails.

Tue, 24 Apr 2007 10:13:34 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/490/reward-20.00 I need to make a simple rails app where an admin user can create "recordings". Each "recording" has the following types of information: * Title * URL to a .zip * The number of "editions" to make of this "recording The idea is that for each "edition" there is URL generated (for instance, mydomain.com/85876) that takes you to a page where you see the Title and a download begins of the "URL to a .zip" mentioned above. The person that goes to the mydomain.com/85876 should never see the original URL of the .zip, that should be obscured. And that /86876 link should expire within a week of being visited. This a simple scheme for selling music (or other media) by means of selling people the unique URLs (mydomain.com/85876). The more help, the better. Help could be in the form of advice, code snippets or the actual code to build such a system. I've set the reward high, but if only partial help can be offered I'll set a slightly lower reward and pay that. Sat, 17 Feb 2007 12:08:36 -0800 http://guruza.com/question/437/reward-5.00 I'm a newbie to RoR's and I'm having fun with it. My question has to do with how to configure a RoR CMS that allows users to publish pages from the CMS to their hosted domain. I want users to be able to login to the CMS to enter their site content. When they create/update information for their site, their domain should be updated as well. NOTE: All users will share the same db tables for storing their information. Originally, I wanted to create static pages in the users domain directory because their pages wouldn't change that often. The static pages would be cached and changed when updated. Now I'm wondering if I should allow users sites to be dynamically generated. I'm not sure which approach would be better or easier to implement. I need to know how to setup or configure my CMS that allows a user to publish to their domain if I decide to publish flat pages to their domain. If I take the dynamic approach, I need to understand how to configure a users domain so that it logs into the database for th user and use their date and the templates that have selected for their web site. Although I'm new to RoR, I'm not new to programming and understand a little bit about servers. It's okay if you get technical.

My host doesn't support replication (e.g. publishing). I'm primarily interested in doing this to allow me to failover to another server at another host if our site goes down.

I followed the directions here: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPlugins without success. I got the following error when I ran ~/.system/bin/trac-admin my_proj initenv: "Repository type darcs not supported" Tue, 17 Oct 2006 15:11:18 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/423/reward-50.00 If a variable is set to 0 and they try to exit the webpage I want it to let them leave unimpeded but if the variable is set to 1 I want a function to confirm that they want to leave and if they click OK they go on their way, but if they click Cancel they stay on the page. This is the simple function that I expected would work: window.onload = function() { if(!confirm("Cancel the file transfer in progress?")) {return false} } But it lets them leave either way. I looked toward gMail's code for a guidance or a clue but found nothing that made sense to me. A solution would have to avoid leaving the page even for a moment or file transfers will be interrupted. Wed, 04 Oct 2006 22:13:20 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/418/reward-25.00 In a RoR application I am making I have a sortable table made using a technique similar to this: http://dev.nozav.org/rails_ajax_table.html This is a two part question: Normally the table is 'unsorted' when you get to it even though the items are alreay in alphabetical order according to the first column. Because of this, the first time you click title to sort by name it appears to do nothing because it was going from 'unsorted' to 'sorted by name' and both are identical. On the first click it should go from 'sorted by name' to 'reverse sorted by name' and the sort_td_class_helper should have the 'sortdown' class applied to it when the page loads. **A solution would either include sample code or enough explanation that I can get it to work.** The other part of the question is how can I make the sorting case-insensive? **A solution would either include sample code or enough explanation that I can get it to work.** Thu, 21 Sep 2006 10:55:10 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/417/reward-50.00 I'm building a RoR application that uses sever Ajax.Updater's that load partials into DIVs on the page. Unfortunately is the user's session expires it loads the contents of '/user/login' into the DIV that was updated by the Ajax.Updater. Furthermore, this login for doesn't work like the one at '/user/login' **What is the best way around this problem?** A valid answer would include some sample code or a link to some. Ideally the solution would happen on the Rails side of things, but if there is an elegant solution in the form of modify the prototype.js I would accept that as well.

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 21:16:47 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/358/reward-20.00 *Rails Output Streaming* I am revisiting this again because I am in a situation where I need output streaming. Rails has two methods that utilize streaming (send_data, send_file) I've modified this to meet my needs, along with the help of people on the mailinglist. However the code below which should work, does not provide output streaming. I know in the past output streaming has worked within rails, I am wondering if in a current release it has been broken. Whatever the case is, I need to determine why I cannot get the output streaming mechanism in rails to work. I'm using lighttpd on fc5. I've used mongrel with the same results. class TestController < ApplicationController def index render :text => Proc.new { |resp, out| out.puts 'start' out.flush 10.times do out.puts '.' out.flush sleep 1 end out.puts 'done' } end end Tue, 29 Aug 2006 14:02:10 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/298/reward-0.00 My 1998 Jaquar is beginning to rust in many areas underneath the car (i.e. exhaust sytem, etc.). is there a rust removal application, a dealer that provide this service, or is it better to apply it myself?

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 18:24:31 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/274/reward-10.00 I'm pretty new to development for mobile devices (ie: cell phones) and bluetooth so please bear with me. I'd like to know if this is currently technically possible. I'd like a certain device (lets say a computer) to send a bluetooth signal to a nearby cell phone (or any similar device). When the phone receives the signal, a Java app would take over the screen and display some information (based on what was sent from the computer). This would most likely imply that the Java app would always be running in background on the phone. Am I 20 years ahead of my time or this is already possible? Thanks! Wed, 26 Jul 2006 20:27:25 -0700 http://guruza.com/question/250/reward-5.00 How can I do an OnClick call using AJAX and Ruby on Rails? I have an application that allows you to ping an ip address by clicking on a link called 'ping'. When you click on it, the ping results get set inside a div tag. This works just as intended, however I would like the ping link to become unclickable and for the text to be changed to 'Pinging'. The problem is when I do the ajax call, the link gets updated at the same time as the div does. My intention is to prevent users from clicking on the link more then once, so by updating the link they can see that an operation is occuring in the background. In my mind I envision that the onclick would update the text of the link and commit the ajax call that would update the results div, does this sound right at all?

Can rails handle this?
