Rails
1

Hi all ,
In the below code am trying to upload file to a folder and if
file is already there it will generatr a messagebox(wn32) where it will
ask for overwrite but when i run my rails application on client machine
this messagebox is not displaying on client machine

require ‘dl’

button

constantsBUTTONS_OK = 0
BUTTONS_OKCANCEL = 1
BUTTONS_ABORTRETRYIGNORE = 2
BUTTONS_YESNO = 4

CLICKED_CANCEL = 2
CLICKED_ABORT = 3
CLICKED_RETRY = 4
CLICKED_IGNORE = 5
CLICKED_YES = 6
CLICKED_NO = 7

class UploadController < ApplicationController
def index
render :file => ‘app\views\upload\uploadfile.rhtml’
end

def message_box(txt, title=APP_TITLE, buttons=BUTTONS_OK)
user32 = DL.dlopen(‘user32’)
msgbox = user32[‘MessageBoxA’, ‘ILSSI’]
r, rs = msgbox.call(0, txt, title, buttons)
return r
end

def uploadFile

name=DataFile.save1(params[:upload])
puts name
$t=0

k = []

File.open(“d:/dm/aan.txt”).each do |line|
k << line.chomp
end

puts k
#puts line.size
$s=k.size
#puts $s

for i in 0…Integer($s)

if $L=(name.eql?(k[i]) == true)

response = message_box(“Are you sure you want to OVERWRITE”,
“Proceed?”, BUTTONS_YESNO)
if response == CLICKED_YES

post = DataFile.save(params[:upload])

render :text => "File has been uploaded successfully"

else

render :text => "File cann't  successfully"

end
end
end
end
end

How should i make this messagebox appear on client side

This code is in the controller and so runs on the server. There is no
way it can appear on the client machine.

You will have to do the upload as a multi-step operation, maybe using
AJAX. For example you could first post just the filename, get the
server to check the name and send the result back to the client to
display the overwrite question if necessary. Then do the upload if
appropriate. You may have to re-check the filename again of course in
case another file of that name has been uploaded in the meantime.
