I wanted to allow a user to delete an object, but also to keep the object in the database so other elements could continue to refer to it. Basically, I didn't want ActiveRecord to destroy the object, just hide it. Forever. This is an easy situation to handle. First, add a mark deleted method in the Model. Selfdeleted at = Time.now. For the name, set the uniqueness validation to have a scope. Subscribe to: Post...

There may be others. Monday, July 29, 2013. A Bookmarklet for switching between localhost and production. If you are often going between production and localhost:3000 - you can easily change the domain name with a simple javascriptlet - something like this. Make this the content of a bookmark, and add it to your bookmark menu. Easy flipping. Adjust further if you need to go between a staging environment or another localhost domain.

One way: Create a Github Project Page with a Custom Domain

There may be others. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Create a Github Project Page with a Custom Domain. I found the instructions on Github to be a little difficult to understand at first as they covered all possibilities. It turns out to be very easy to create a static website on github and attach a custom domain. Create a directory on your mac to hold your sites locally - I called mine /pages. Clone the github repository from your pages directory. Go into that directory. Git checkout - orphan gh-pages. All dom...

After doing a quick search on google for this phrase: Makes a change to see someone spell it out like that. You can see a lot of other blogs have received the same post. There's an interesting little code in front of it. It's random, and never the same on the blog. Mine was 'TRuxcI'. Sunday, April 03, 2011. Out array = [].

There may be others. Thursday, December 09, 2010. Heroku pgbackups - Unknown command. This is a short one. If you try to access Heroku PGBackups with an old version of the gem, you'll get something like this. Unknown command. Run 'heroku help' for usage information. You won't see the pgbackups command in the list, either. You just need to update the gem. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ruby on Rails Web App Developer. View my complete profile.

There may be others. Monday, May 02, 2011. Brew/RVM/PSQL/Bundler Installation for a MacBook Pro. If you do this from disc, you'll need to upgrade later (version 3.2 that comes on snow leopard disc has bugs). You can download and start with the new one. It's 3.2 GB and could take a while to download. Do this first. Follow the instructions here (https:/ github.com/mxcl/homebrew). I used the ruby script. If you have permission errors, you may need to do the following:. Sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local.

There may be others. Saturday, March 22, 2014. Collect funds for your group projects. I've been working on a project to help classrooms at my son's school collect funds for end of year gifts, team dues, etc. It's called Sidejar, and it's been working really well. It's motivating to hear the comments from the parents that would not have donated without a credit card interface. I love the convenience of this site. Thanks for coordinating and for the reminder!
