Is there any ruby gem/ rails plugin available for parsing the resume and importing that information into an object/form ?
I may be wrong, but I don't think you'll find anything completely automated to do this, because a résumé (or CV) can be structured in so many different ways and can contain very different types of data. Any completely automated solution is likely to have accuracy problems, since it is technically a difficult problem to solve.
You may find this answer useful.
Here are some other suggestions that might help :-
Require a user to enter their details into a form on your website instead of uploading a Word document. You'll then be able to explicitly ask for the data you want and you'll be able to store the data in a structure that suits you. However, this may be too much of a barrier to entry for your users.
Allow a user to submit the URL of their résumé published using the hResume microformat. Sites like LinkedIn already publish résumés in this format. There is a Ruby gem mofo which can parse microformats including hResumes. However, not all users will have an on-line résumé like this.

I'm helping develop an online ordering process for a local business, and they are offering food delivery to their location from specific partnered restaurants. The problem we're looking to solve is making the experience as smooth as possible for the user, so we're aiming to fill out these specific data fields to make the process smoother. They have QR codes on their tables, that link directly to their websites ordering page, from there the user can select from a few local restaurants, and are linked to their online ChowNow menus.
Does anyone have any experience using ChowNow, and knows if there is any way to pass off specific delivery instructions to ChowNow, specifically an address, from the link provided to the users from the QR code on their table?
We haven't found anything too helpful on this problem from ChowNow's official documentation or support. There are alternate ways that we have in mind to solve this problem if need be, but this is the desired solution from the client, and we would like to have stick with this method if possible.
I would like to analyze the search terms submitted by our JIRA users so we can formalize best practices for creating subjects and descriptions.
I'd like to avoid having to pull the search terms out of log files, where I believe they live if the right log levels are set.
I am familiar with jira-python and server-side JIRA customization, but this one's stumping me.
Is there a programmatic way to generate a list of the search terms submitted to JIRA? (Client-side/API is ideal, but server-side is okay too.)
Appreciate any advice folks can share, pointers to references, and so forth!
There is no API for this, but you can get this information from the webserver logs or by looking at saved_searches directly in the database. Clearly these would be only the saved filters, not all queries performed.
What about catching everything that is submitted to search field (client-side) and log it on server side (POST to servlet).
i have a website, its to exchange links, files... to say it quickly it's my 'version' of twitter+megaupload,
Well, users add links all the time and so on, but i would like user be able to syinch his bookmarks from the browser to the ones he has at his profile of mywebsite,
Where should i look into?
Basically i need to be able to:
- Acces bookmarks file (1)
- being able to send the urls to my service ( 2 )
- maybe adding the login feature (in the future)
I was google'ing about this for ages few weeks a go and i kind of give up, because i'm ok with PHP and JS, but with this plugin languages i'm very lost. So i decided posting here, wich always brings positive answers
(1) - > I don't even know where to start
(2) -> i was thinking to have a website.com/auto_import_no_confirm.php?url=[URL] and put it in a for each.
how many different languages and extension files do i have to work with? I really need any kind of tip with point (1)
feel like?
-edit-
Just found This -> https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Code_snippets/Bookmarks
wich really looks like i need, but where do i place this code?
thanks!
Might not be a bad question, but there are too many subtopics raised to answer that. (And there is too much tagspam as well. Break up your question into PHP- and Javascript-specific tasks, when you have devised the general application scheme.)
But to get started, download similar Firefox extensions (.xpi) and unzip them to inspect the general structure. You'll find examplary code for bookmark handling and invoking remote APIs pretty quickly. And basically you only need Javascript for the extension itself. (It sounds like your extension does not need much UI.)
And there are many tutorials on designing Firefox addons: http://roachfiend.com/archives/2004/12/08/how-to-create-firefox-extensions/ or http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox+develop+an+xpi
The good news first, you won't need much more than javascript if you just want to access bookmarks and send them to a server, neither on firefox nor on chrome.
But still you'll have to make yourself familiar with the apis of the browsers and learn how to develop extensions.
However, both Mozilla and Google provide all necessary information on their developer sites.
For Chrome, this is a good place to start, you'll find the api for bookmark access here.
The Corresponding site for Firefox can be found here, with information on bookmark access here.
I have noticed that some applications provide functionality allowing the user to pull down transaction records (usually for credit cards) from an online banking system. Usually specific banks are supported.
What is the general method to achieve this (i.e., using an API, or something else)? I have seen a web app that supports the bank that I want to pull down transaction records from (ANZ), so I know it's achievable - but have not been able to find any references to any kind of online banking API.
I intend to implement a solution in Ruby on Rails, but I imagine the underlying method would hold regardless of the language used.
Perhaps the bankjob gem might be useful:
http://bankjob.rubyforge.org/
Contact the bank in question and ask them for their API - most of the information you want relates to the security/automated logon issues. the actual data is usually just transferred as a CSV file.
I know easier said than done, but be persistent until you actually are talking to someone in the IT area who can answer questions and not just lawyers and front people. It helps to do some of this in person rather than by email or phone - banks are conservative organizations after all (and if your money is in that bank you want them to be).
EDIT:
Now when dealing with banks don't be surprised if you run into stuff like this:AMEX Security - what's behind this jaw dropping stupidity? - a legacy mainframe system that only accepts 6-8 character, lowercase, alphanumeric entries with no spaces and no special characters. This is why most banks are reluctant to let people know about any outward facing APIs.
Hi I know this is 6 years later but... I thought i would answer it so that future users(like me ) could come up with a solution.
Banks now have api's so you could use something like httparty gem to parse api data.
A simple option is yodlee and their api, or if using rails the Yodlee-icious gem.
hope that helps.
I just have a link to a product page, at amazon. How do I get all the information (photo, price etc), in my ruby program, just using this link?
Here's the list of supported urls as disclosed by amazon for their oembed, product advertising API would come to picture only after parsing through these URLs and getting the ASINs
http://*amazon.*/gp/product/*
http://*amazon.*/*/dp/*
http://*amazon.*/dp/*
http://*amazon.*/o/ASIN/*
http://*amazon.*/gp/offer-listing/*
http://*amazon.*/*/ASIN/*
http://*amazon.*/gp/product/images/*
http://*amazon.*/gp/aw/d/*
http://www.amzn.com/*
http://amzn.com/*
I found this library (I'm using Rails)
amazon-ecs
I'm experimenting with it. Still, I'd require some kind of ID (product id?) to get details of a particular product. For example, consider this link to kindle
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Generation/dp/B00154JDAI/ref=amb_link_84372271_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=06JJGQP9J3BHKPE38SXP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=478184871&pf_rd_i=507846
In that link, I noticed ASIN, which is B00154JDAI.
Looks like I can use this ID, to get product information (using amazon-ecs). I just need to parse the URL, to get ASIN.
Is there any other way to do it?
No, I am not going to do screen scraping, that is not a good idea anytime.
If you want to do this, the Nokogiri or hpricot libraries both allow HTML parsing and searching. However, this kind of screen-scraping is notoriously unreliable (as it may break any time Amazon decides to reorganize their HTML), so if you're planning to do this sort of thing for any length of time I'd recommend leveraging the Amazon Product Advertising API instead.
In your program: fetch the page and parse HTML. Filter out the required information. There may be some libraries in Ruby (that I am unaware of), which parse HTML.
hpricot seems to do what you want.
You should use the library Ruby/AWS (google for it, my karma is not high enough to allow external links...). It has been written exactly for that.
You might need to use the built-in Search to find the item you're looking for. After that, the API gives access to pictures, links and all usable information.
