I'm having some trouble finding the right approach for this problem.
Background
I'm developing an application using Ruby on Rails and I have to query a vBulletin database to fetch, for example, the last posts.
The forum is not mantained by me, but I can ask the owners for information.
Problem
The problem is I can't find a vBulletin API or ruby gem that allows a connection to the database and I'm not getting useful results from my google searches.
If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Hopefully this will help. Checking GitHub is always a good starting point.

I have now build my first Ruby on Rails site and I want to publish/deploy/show it to the world on internet. I have access to space on a web server trough a university that I am associated with. But after some searching I realized that publishing a Rails site is slightly more complicated than publishing a regular html production.
Is there any way to use the space I have? How can I know if the server I have access to is up for the task? Is there any guides on how to do this via SSH or git or whatever? I have search a lot but not found anything useful. It doesn't have to be easy, I just have to work. And it's good if I can learn and understand what I am doing.
I have tried quite extensively to make it work with Heroku (everybody claims it to be so easy) but failed since it will not accept my push. Probably because I use Rails 4.2.2 (I don't want to change this, too many things stopped working when I tried to update) and Paperclip which seems to be known issues.
Please, I'm getting desperate, any help pointing in the right direction is very appreciated.
I am trying to find a gem that will help me get the search ranking of a URL with the popular search engines. I've done a little digging and found some outdated ruby gems - namely:
Keyword Ranking: https://github.com/crowdint/keyword_ranking
Rankstar: https://github.com/crowdint/rankstar/blob/master/lib/rankstar.rb
Both seem to be over 2-3 years old and don't seem to be working (i.e. when I install the gem, create a ruby script and run it, I get nothing returned) - is there a more recent gem that I should be using for this? Thoughts on how to get this data through ruby / rails?
Thanks in advance!
Scraping Google SERP is not allowed by Google long time ago. They use every methods to stop this kind of actions. There were lots of tools before in different programming languages but none of them could last long. Some tools installed on personal computer could be used but not very stable.
Also, as I knew one years ago, there is no API available for such querying.
I suggest you give up this idea to collect rank data. It's not wise to fight against Google.
Im trying o set up an rails application that handles ticket booking system for e venue.
Does anybody have any suggestions about architecture, gems or general approach yhat could help? Would be grateful for suggestions.
Are you already know RoR yet? If not, try this tutorial Rails turotial, then you can build your application, because only you know what you need, so keep learning and building and if you have trouble or problem then go to stackoverflow and ask, so people can help you.
So far, I only found this one that integrates with the Zendesk site through its API
I have a rails app that I've built that I would like to add an estore too. My plan was to do it using spree. A few considerations:
I already have a user model, and am using devise for authentication
I want to be able to include related products on various point of the
site (for example, if the user is in the 'cooking' section of the
site, show 'cooking' related products.
I am hosting it on heroku, and I'd like for the store to be at:
http://store.myurl.com
Does anyone have a good jumping off point? I've never worked with spree before, and it seems that most of the documentation is oriented towards people starting an app from scratch with spree. My google searching hasn't yielded too much that is useful.
Can anyone give me tips or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
I think you may get stuck trying to stick two apps together, particularly if you have two authentication systems running.
I might consider getting Spree up and running first then adding the functionality from your existing app in bit by bit ensuring you 'extend' Spree so upgrades don't break your customisations.
And if you think your custom code may be useful to others you could make it into a Spree plugin.
I am trying to do something in Rails and will admit that I'm no genius programmer, but I'm attempting to learn.
I want to create a database with user-generated entries of no specific number. The best example of what I am trying to do can be illustrated by twitter. I assume every time the user adds a new tweet it adds a row to the users tweet database.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find resources to help me do this?
Thanks!
Teach me to code has a series on creating a Twitter clone in Rails. That might be a good start.
This is a very broad question. Have you tried some of the Rails tutorials? The main Ruby on Rails website has recently put up a bunch of new guides that you might want to start with.
