similar to: Admin Console

Hey all, I have released some pre-alpha code for my Administrative Console which I''ve been talking about for the past few days. The admin console, autoDB, provides and AJAXed, automated scaffolding-type system that''s pretty and very customizable. More details at http://trac.visualjquery.com/admin_console/ and my original post from last week, which has screenshots and some

The first administrative console screencast is now available at: http://screencasts.visualjquery.com/demo1/ I''ve posted a bunch about the Admin Console, but it''s essentially an automated scaffold that works as an engine. The screencast is a quick overview of the minor things you''ll need to do in models, environment.rb, and others, as well as ::drumroll:: a demo of

Hello, I wish to route a sinatra application in my Rails 3 app. As said by Yehuda, it should be possible. http://yehudakatz.com/2009/12/26/the-rails-3-router-rack-it-up/ However I see the route isn''t recognized and I get ActionController::RoutingError problems. It works well with simple rack apps however (the test in actionpack with a lambda passes well). I''ve written a test

Over the past few months, I''ve developed an administrative console for databases in the process of solving other problems. At the moment, the state of development is: * Going to /admin_panel/model will bring you to a list of items in the model: * Supports acts_as_list via drag/drop sorting * Supports "activated" via an activated/deactivated button * Supports basic

I''m using scriptaculous'' SlideUp and SlideDown effects to animate a menu. Specifically, I SlideUp, make some CSS changes, and SlideDown. All works well, except that for a split second in between, the element''s display becomes ''none'' and the other menu item jump into the space. I haven''t been able to find any way to force an element to retain

Hi guys, I just wanted to announce the imminent release of the next revision of my autoDB Administrative Console. Now with: * Validations * A ton of association-related bug fixes * The ability to include the fields in belongs_to models into the form itself * AJAX improvements * Fixes to activate/deactivate and destroy * Rudimentary support for layouts Also, I made a change to the way

Hi all of both RoR Core and TMail. You may know me better as the maintainer of TMail. However, TMail has been a bit difficult to get working with Ruby 1.9, so in the light of that, I sat down over the past few months and wrote myself an all encompasing mail gem. Mail passes all of its hundreds of specs equally well in Ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1. Mail reads every email in the TMail test suite

I have released a yhtml plugin, which is available at http://http://svn.visualjquery.com/admin_console/trunk/admin_console/vendor/plugins/yhtml You can also get my other plugins, specificlly: the pre-alpha administrative console (AJAX-based scaffolding engine), acts_as_automatic, which allows you to define associations in a single yaml file, and not need to define has_many, has_one,

I''m trying to work out how to use the functionality from a plugin in an engine. It sounds weird, but it''s actually not so strange. I assume I can''t just add a vendor directory to an Engine, so some strategy for getting the plugin in the lib folder is probably necessary (and then requiring the plugin, perhaps?). -- Yehuda Katz -- Posted via

I like the merb-style exception pages where there''re links to open the files listed in the stack trace in TextMate and the source around each line a lot so I stole the idea (and the code!) and made a patch for Rails: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10401 Here''s how it looks like in Merb: http://yehudakatz.com/wp-content/uploads/stacktrace.gif What do you guys think?

I posted the following earlier: "I need a way to do a blind up that makes the element APPEAR and a blind down that makes the element DISAPPEAR. In essence, the opposite of the current blindup/blinddown. Thoughts?" I think somebody responded in Dutch. Anyone else have any ideas? -- Yehuda Katz Web Developer (ph) 718.877.1325 (fax) 718.686.4288

Hello, I''m a complete beginner in Ruby on Rails, so excuse me if this is a ridiculous question. Just to bare in mind, I''m using Mac OSX (Snow Leopard), Rails 3, and sqlite3 as a database. I''ve checked, and everything is up to date (Rails, Ruby, Gems). I am simply creating a test application, and I understand the way to run that is by running the ''rails

For those that missed out joining the amazing turnout of ~70 people here in Vancouver for the mini-workshop I did on the 27th last month, I am making available the 30 slides I used for the presentation. The slides were used in conjunction with me demonstrating it via command line. Alot was learned by both attendees, and quite possibly even more so by myself while teaching the material. I created

Hi, I''m new to this list, new to script.aculo.us but pretty comfortable with javascript. I''m trying to get a combination of Effect.SlideUp and Down and Effect.BlindUp and Down to well... it''s hard to describe, maybe have a visit here (try in firefox first): http://bruno.biosci.arizona.edu/occa/test.html Click on "next month" a couple times, then click on

Acts as automatic has two purposes: 1) provide acts_as_automatic act, which will automatically run the appropriate methods when conventions are adhered to (e.g. if you have category_id, it will assume that the model belongs_to :category). Only belongs_to via something_id is currently implemented. 2) Allow the creation of associations.yml, which will hold associations instead of inside each

Excert from http://www.nshb.net/datebocks-2-0-0-released Woohoo!! Finally released the next generation of DateBocks (aka DateBox) v2.0.0. This was a long time coming, after its initial version release allll the way back in January, this is a nice edition to the popular tool I released before. This version is chalked full of features. Here is the cut out from the CHANGELOG == 2.0.0 - AUGUST 16,

What''s a good solution for fixing character encoding problems for compatibility between ascii and utf-8? The database is postgres and is encoded in utf-8. Once in awhile there will be a compatibility error from strings from a webform. Is there a command to fix this besides using a_string.force_encoding(''utf-8'')? Even this doesn''t seem to always work either.

Community, I have been putting off implementing a Date selector for too long. Tonight, I finally put it in. I made the choice to go with the datebox engine. Once I got it installed and working, I realized I didn''t like the way it required you to call it. Example: <% @dateField = model.date %> <%= date_box %> or... <% @dateField1 = model.date %> <%=

Just trying to implement a simple helper over the past few days had me really confused. messages = '''' messages << content_tag(:p, ''dave'') #=> &lt;p&gt;dave&lt;\p%;gt; Eventually I realised the original empty string was not html_safe message = ''''.html_safe message << content_tag(:p, ''dave'') #=>

My best guess at how to make this route map.connect '':user'', :controller => ''user'', :action => ''profile'' makes my link_to :controller => ''admin'', :action => ''index'' stop working ? I''m needing urls like http://localhost:3000/username but without breaking all my other controller index
