Hi Everyone,
I have four problems which I haven’t been able to solve for a while,
and would appreciate any help:
-
Autocomplete question:
I moved an application I started in Rails 1.0 (rriki.sf.net) to Rails
2.0 by looking at all the deprecated warnings. I no longer have the
deprecated warnings, but auto complete no longer works. I installed
the plugin, but it still does not work. ANY pointer as to how to get
it working will be helpful. -
Cross-platform question
I generated the scaffold on a windows machine. I was really happy to
see that the same exact code worked on Mac OS X without any
alteration, right off the bat. Go Ruby!
However as I was fiddling with autocomplete installation I realized
that the scripts had been coded to invoke ruby the windows way (e.g. c:
\Programs\ruby) rather than the linux way (/usr/bin/env ruby) which
was an easy fix:
Is there a way to convert a windows generated project so it will work
in linux?
-
Directory access question
Is there a way for the application to serve up files that exist out
side the folder tree of the app?
I use the app to access papers in pdf format and right now I have
stored the pdfs inside the source tree, making it inelegant: my
research papers are mixed in with the source code of my reference
manager (rriki) and I find that not so good. -
Database migration
I started off using MySQL. I think however, I would like to use
sqlite-3 and store the database outside the source tree, along with my
research documents.
Does any one know of a proper way to move all the data in a MySQL
database into a sqlite-3 database?
Many, many thanks to anyone who can help be a little bit with these
things.
