I found this. It seems kind of ugly to just throw this into environment.rb. The question is kind of old. I just wanted to ask if there was a better way to do this now.
The problem (if you don't want to click through), is including your custom log message formatter. (The problem I'm solving is that I want to assign a guid to every request, prepend all log messages from that request with the guid, and then return the guid in meta data to the client a.k.a. request id)
Rails logger format string configuration
You can put it in an initializer.
Initializers can be any name and go in config/initializers. Every file in this directory is loaded at startup; it's a great place to put miscellaneous startup code that doesn't seem to fit anywhere else.

I'm updating some older code that uses System.IO.Packaging to programmatically create Excel files. It ultimately calls CreatePackage on various bits of internal state to build out the documents. CreatePackage takes a ContentType parameter, and the existing code contains a list of constants like:
Const cxl07WorksheetContentType = "application/vnd...."
I'm trying to add support for PivotTables, which require a PivotCache. I cannot find the appropriate ContentType. I thought I might be able to discern it from within the file, looking in _Rels for instance, but these are always in URI form and bear no obvious relationship to these constants.
So...
is this even required? I passed Nothing and "" but that did not work.
does anyone know where these might be defined? I looked on the mime database, and the MS website, but nothing came up on either for "pivot"
where are these even used? they do not appear in the resulting Package as far as I can see.
We are trying to build a Rails web-application, and there has been this weird issue with random string being inserted to the URL right after the host domain (haven't seen it happening anywhere else in the URL). One example is like this:
https://www.<domain>.com/ZQpfZ/<some route>
This bug/error doesn't seem to be happen every time, but definitely a bit unpredictably as we generate this URL using path helpers from Rails. Another occasion that this would happen is I would directly type into the URL bar: www.<domain>.com, and it occasionally would insert some random string right after I press enter (with no auto-fill) as such:
https://www.<domain>.com/d4rsQf
What would be the reason for this and how should we go about solving this? It has been causing a lot of problem as we have been sending email with account confirmation link embedded, and sometimes the link won't work just because of the random string being added.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What is the method I need to call to find the root URL for a rails application. For example, I have a site where the address is "https://host:1234/foo/app-main".
What method should I be using to get "https://host:1234/foo/images" to get the absolute url for images in the public url?
image_path(image_name)
Edit: Steve has a good point, this will only get you part of the way there. To get the rest you must be inside of a request (you probably are)
In that case though, you can combine the above with Justice's approach,
"#{request.scheme}://#{request.host_with_port}/#{request.script_name}#{image_path(image_name)}"
This question makes sense only on a per-request basis, since your one process might easily be listening on multiple domain names and on multiple schemes.
"#{request.scheme}://#{request.host_with_port}#{request.script_name}"
See Rack::Request.
I'm considering using the hash method to create static urls to content that is managed by ajax calls in a Asp.Net MVC. The proof of concept i'm working on is a profile page /user/profile where one can browse and edit different sections. You could always ask for the following url /user/profile#password to access directly to you profile page, in the change password section
However, i'm wondering if i'm not starting this the bad way, since apparently i can't access the part after the hash in any way, except by declaring a route value for the hash in global.asax. So i'm wondering if this is the right way to access this part of the url?
Am i supposed to declare a route value, or is there another way to work with hash values (a framework, javascript or mvc)?
Edited to add:
In pure javascript, i have no problem using the window.location.hash property, i'm not sure though how standard it is in today's browsers, hence the question about a javascript framework/plugin that would use it.
The thing is that the part that follows the hash (#) is never sent to the server into the HTTP request so the server has absolutely no way of reading it. So no need to waste time in searching for something that doesn't exist.
You could on the other hand tune your routes to generate links that contain the hash part so that client scripts can read it.
Send the hash value document.location.hash as a parameter to the controller action of your choice.
This can be done in the code if needed...
RedirectResult(Url.Action("profile") + "#password");
should work fine
I want to use a database of URLs present in DMOZ ODP for my application. ( an array of URL strings OR a file containing the same ). Is there any way of obtaining it , ( other than the manual copy-paste ) ?
EDIT :
Is there any script / code to parse the rdf file..
Take a look at http://rdf.dmoz.org/, you'll need to find a way to parse the RDF into your database.
I did this the other day using the odp2db scripts from Steve's Software. They're old, but the format hasn't changed significantly so they work fine.
I found I didn't need to do the iconv and xmlclean.pl steps suggested in the readme, just uncompressed the dumps and ran the structure2db.pl and content2db.pl scripts. You'll need to create the database tables manually (see the SQL at top of script for that) and modify the connection details in the scripts before you start.
With the mid-January 2009 dump I used, there's 756,962 categories and 4,436,796 websites. It took a while to run through them all, but not excessively long, though I did dispense with the site descriptions as I didn't need them. Also, may be worth adding database indices after creating the tables to speed access up later. The raw structure and content files were 75MB and 300MB compressed respectively. 848MB and 2GB respectively.
I've actually done this in java. I just used the SAX API to read through the RDF files. It was pretty straight forward. In my case I wanted to pull out every URL that was in a topic with "Weblogs" in the topic name.
Basically what did was implement a org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
Then to setup the code you do:
InputSource is = new InputSource(new FileInputStream("filename.rdf"));
XMLReader r = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
r.setContentHandler(new MyHandlerClass());
r.parse(is);
and that's pretty much it. In my handler class I had to implement:
startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) then I had an if statement to see if it was an "ExternalPage" tag, in which case I went to another state to look for "topic","Title" and "Description". I had another
characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) where I read in the topic, title, and description text depending on which one had been most recently sent to startElement
endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) where I checked to see which element was ending, and if it ExternalPage, that meant the end of the current element.
The whole thing was 80-90 lines of code for the basic parsing. So pretty easy to write. It was able to chew through the multi-gigabyte files in... I don't remember maybe a minute or two? If you just want to query out some specific data, it might be easier just to write the code to do that in your handler, rather then trying to load it into a DB.
If you find a tool that works well, that's obviously better then writing your own code. But writing your own code isn't hard! RDF is just an XML format, and it's not nested or anything. A simple SAX parser is easily doable in a day or so.
You could always pay one of the currupt editors there and they will help you out :)
