I was looking to add a feature that allows my users to send money to one another via PayPal or some other popular source that could handle such a request. As this is something I have yet to implement to a website I'm fairly new and would like to see if anyone could guide me in a direction with some suggestions/ideas on how to realize this. I thank all those in advance who take the time to try and assist in my learning the implementation of a new feature such as this.
Please refer the screencast & the article listed below:

I am building an application which will require to accept online payments from users. The library that I am trying to implement is Braintree Gateway.
Instead of just solving my issue I have I prefer to understand how exactly does Braintree handle the money transfer. If someone could recommend a source where I could learn this or explain it to me that would be great! Thanks.
This might be helpful.
It has a whole section on how braintree works.
Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact support.
Looking at our getting started guide will give you a nice overview of how payments work from a non-technical perspective.
If you are looking for a more technical perspective of how things work, you should visit our developer page and read the source code of our client library.
I'm looking at integrating a message board for a site I'm developing in rails. The new discourse board looks interesting http://www.discourse.org/ but there isn't much information about integrating into another site either via oauth2 or sso or perhaps using a rails engine type system. Has anyone succesfully set this up with an app like this?
thx

Is there a roadmap for how this integration could take place in the future? Parts of it look really intriguing but would like some more info on how this use case could be handled.

Since this question is getting a fair amout of traffic, I want to add this post http://meta.discourse.org/t/integrating-discourse-with-current-user-database/6669 which goes over the SSO attempts going on at discourse currently. I have also been in contact with the people at thougtbot about their implementation.
I was interested in the same issue but here's what I found on Github issues:
The easiest way to get it running would be to install Discourse
outside of your app. We do offer the full source code if you want to
integrate with your existing login system, but I imagine it would be a
fair amount of work at this point.
Right now we haven't focused much on production deployments since
we're pre-beta and want to make sure people have a super easy upgrade
system in place to stay on top of security holes.
Not done any app with Discourse, but if their site does not provide a lot of info did you browse the Git Repository https://github.com/discourse/discourse it provides plenty of information and resources links like these ones :
Discourse Developer Install Guide (Vagrant) :
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md
Developer Advanced :
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPER-ADVANCED.md
Admin quick Start : https://github.com/discourse/discourse/wiki/The-Discourse-Admin-Quick-Start-Guide
Hope it can be of some help for you
Cheers
I am doing a project on creating a lab application for a next generation sequencing data using ruby on rails.
The main idea my boss suggests me to do is to have users fill in their details and submit to us. After the submission, the administrator, i.e. me, would send them a password which they can use to login my application. could some one help me with the idea of development. I am naive to ruby on rails and would be very grateful for people who help me.
thank you and cheers
I would start with Michael Hartl's RailsTutorial. Not only did I find it the best way to get started - the application he builds includes a bombproof user security model, just as you require, and so you'd be both learning and developing something relevant at the same time.
I'd also recommend buying the videos, as well as the book. They make all the difference.
Are you new to the whole web development thing or is it just Ruby on rails that you have no knowledge of?
If the former, I'd suggest googling some Ruby tutorials on how to make a simple web application and build from there. Start by a simple "Hello world" application, then proceed to handle submitted forms, then install and use a database and by then you should have the basic knowledge to build what you want.
If the latter, could you specify, what parts you need help with? Ruby is syntactically quite easy to learn if you just take a look at some tutorials, so that shouldn't pose any problems. You have described a simple use case which I'm sure you can handle in a new environment, if you just have the patience to try and learn.
I need to add a customer support function to an existing Rails 3 app. I want to enable the users to submit a support ticket and answer back and fourth until the issue is resolved. I am currently using Zendesk.
Does anyone have any knowledge of something I can use? Or should I just develop it myself?
Regards,
Jacob
So you essentially want to be able to create a system to manage issues? Checkout Redmine. It has the ability to manage issues. However, I'm pretty sure that the way it looks isn't the way you want yours to look.
You can lift the generic code from Redmine and apply it to your app. I doubt you'll find a gem that does all the magic for you the way you want it to look and act, so you'll need to do programming.
I haven't tried this. I saw it listed on Open Source Help Desk List where both Redmine and Big Help are mentioned. I am also looking for a help desk gem and stumbled upon your question here.
Big Help: A help desk portal built with Ruby on Rails
Can you one please guide.... i want to implement Testing in my Rails application.... i never do that before.... so i don't know how to implement testing. can any one please tell me is their any link should follow for step by step process ... please.. Thanks in advance
Ryan has some excellent railscasts about testing:
http://railscasts.com/tags/7
I recommend you start there. He has a very easy to follow style, and is a great teacher for new users and old users alike.
You could also take a look at RailsGuides' guide on testing in Rails:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html
and various testing framework options here:
