RadRails 0.6.1 released

a few bug fixes and a few improvemens. Especially switching between view and controller now suppors RHTML, RXML and RJS.

If you’ve created test scripts with 0.6, be sure to delete the scripts and regenerate them. See details on radais.org

I recommand you use the site update as I explained in the 0.6 announcement. This greatly simplifies updates.

RadRails 0.6 released

Kyle just announced the release of RadRails 0.6 (thank you Kyle).

If you are not familiar with RadRails, RadRails is an eclipse based Rails IDE, with syntax checking, testing, WEBrick and LightTPD support, debugging.

Highlights:

  • rhtml editor
  • Keyboard shortcut to switch between the view and its controller (Ctrl+Shift+V)
  • Integrated testing support (Yeahh!)
  • Preliminary LightTPD support

Read the Announcement.

Tonight I upgraded and everything went smoothly using the site updates method (Help Mennu -> Software Updates… -> Find and Install…).

Love the shortcut to switch between view and controller. One of those little things that help a great deal :)

Release 0.2 of BookmarkIt! Sidebar Plugin for Typo

Well, version 0.1 was shortlived. There was a critical difference between running with WEBrick and running in production environment with fastcgi.
The value of env[“REQUEST_URI”] did not contain “http://host”. So I found a quick solution and we’ll see if there is a better solution tomorrow.

Current solution consists of replacing

@article_url = request.env[“REQUEST_URI”]

with

@article_url = ‘http://’+request.env[“HTTP_HOST”]+
  request.env[“REQUEST_URI”]
  if @article_url.eql?(@article_url.gsub(/http:/,”).gsub(/HTTP:/,”))

You live and learn…

Release 0.1 of BookmarkIt! Plugin for Typo

First release (0.1) of BookmarkIt! for typo. Check back for new releases here on blog.nanorails.com

BookmarkIt! is a sidebar plugin for typo. With it, you can let people directly bookmark your blog, or an article dependending on the context. Try it for yourself on the right side of this page.

Installation
uncompress into a temporaty location and move the components and public directory onto your typo installation. On all OS I know, this will add the files in the right location. Then next time you go in the Sidebar section of Typo, you will be able to drag and drop the BookmarkIt! Item onto your Active items. Set the desired title and select the desired services, and then Publish your changes

Compatibility
Tested with typo revision 884. Should work with Typo 2.6.

Not all bookmarking services have been tested yet. I believe that the pages where I got the format for the links to be accurate, but I transcription could be flowed. Only the ones I had an account with. Post a comment on blog.nanorails.com if something doesn’t work.

Download the zip or the tgz file.

The train is leaving the station!

Let’s get this train on the rails and off to some new and exciting adventures. I discovered rails a month ago and I have been dabbling in it ever since. I had been exposed to ruby a while back, but never got interested, and that’s a shame. Now I’m a few trains behind the curve.

This will be a chronicle of my progress, I’ll highlight what I found interesting, post things that I believe could benefit others (See the Quid Pro Quo Section).

Join along for the ride!

PS: Note to self: we’ll see how long that train analogy sticks around ;)
