Affiliate Links using GEM: rack-affiliates with localhost - not working - ruby-on-rails

If one could kindly help or advise me, i would be very grateful. I am trying to get the gem "rack-affiliates" to work but unfortunately it is not working and there is not enough help nor documentation out there.
i have bundle installed the gem "rack-affiliates"
i have created the table "affiliates" with the columns name:string, tag:string
for the table "users" i have the columns ref:string, affiliate_tag:string, affiliate_tag_ref:string
the affiliate_tag is automatically produced when a user signups on the platform with the below method is the usr.rb file
class User < ApplicationRecord
before_create :generate_affiliate_tag
def generate_affiliate_tag
begin
reference_length = 6
self.affiliate_tag = "SPz_" + Devise.friendly_token.first(reference_length).tr('+/=-', '0aZ')
end while self.class.exists?(affiliate_tag: affiliate_tag)
end
end
therefore example when user_A registers on the platform, user_A will receive an affiliate_tag: SPz_bpQFGq
with this the user_A [affiliate user] will have the affiliate link: http://localhost:3000/users/sign_up?ref=SPz_bpQFGq
When user_A gives the affiliate link to user_B. After user_B has signuped, i would like the ref in the url SPz_bpQFGq to be stored under the column affiliate_tag_ref:string for user_B (under the users table)
i have done all that the documentation requested:
bundle installed the gem "rack-affiliates"
updated the file config/application.rb with the below code:
but i am sure why it is not working. If i am doing ti all wrong, you advise and guidance will be much much appreciated.
Or if one could direct me to a better documentation on how to build affiliate links and track them successfully i would be grateful

Try
config.middleware.use Rack::Affiliates, { :param => 'ref', :domain => 'localhost', :path => "/" }
instead of
config.middleware.use Rack::Affiliates, { :param => 'ref', :domain => '.localhost', :path => "/" }

paypal gem multiple accounts ruby on rails

I'm using the paypal-sdk-merchant gem. So far I have set one merchant account with this command:
PayPal::SDK.configure(
:mode => "sandbox",
:app_id => "APP-sdfgjkl",
:username => "lprieto-facilitator_api1.hasu.cl",
:password => "Z7XGVDCHBJN",
:signature => "AFcWxV21C7fd0v3bYYYRCpSSRlXDCFVGBHLBRTnmAzXxHddoa5e",
:sandbox_email_address => "lprieto-facilitator_api1.hasu.cl")
and then create a payment with
api = PayPal::SDK::Merchant::API.new
This have work perfectly so far but now I have to change the paypal account according to the country the person is buying from. If I'm constantly changing the PayPal::SDK.configure will there be any consistence problems??
For example, if a person in Brasil access and the configuration is change. Then a person in Chile access and the configuration is change. After, the brasilian pays. Will it have the brasilian configuration or the chilean one?
What would you recommend for having multiple Paypal accounts in a ruby on rails app?
Thank you in advance.
I recommend taking a look at https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Ruby-SDK because this gem doesn't support rails 4 and will be deprecated.
As for your problem at hand: Seeing the API, you would indeed need to call PayPal::SDK.configure() for each different type of merchant/country. You can create a YML config file for this something like config/paypal.yml:
chile:
mode: sandbox
app_id: APP-123
username: user1
password: pass1
signature: ABCDEF
sandbox_email_address: test#example.com
brasil:
mode: sandbox
app_id: APP-456
username: user2
password: pass2
signature: GHIJKL
sandbox_email_address: test2#example.com
and use this in your app like:
#api_chile = PayPal::SDK::Merchant::API.new(:chile)
#api_brasil = PayPal::SDK::Merchant::API.new(:brasil)
Hope this helps!

OmniAuth OAuth 1 strategy for upwork API error

I'm using OmniAuth gem along with the specific provider gems for FB, Linkedin and G+, both for login, registration and information retrieval. I want to offer further integration with other API's in this case with Upwork's api, that uses OAuth 1.
I've set the App with Upwork and have working key and secret. I've set the loader to load my custom strategy (since it's not a gem) and it loads. I've set the provider to pass the key and secret which are stored in an env file.
All of that seems to be working now, after many hours into it.
I tried reading through the sparse information contained in OmniAuth's strategy guide, along with OAuth wiki, and looked into the gem files of other providers. I ended up copying a bit of the code I thought would be enough to work through this, at least, for login but I'm messing something up.
Whenever I go to the callback path for upwork, set automatically by omniauth I get an error.
Started GET "/auth/upwork" for ::1 at 2015-07-29 00:08:12 +0800
ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration Load (0.3ms) SELECT "schema_migrations".* FROM "schema_migrations"
I, [2015-07-29T00:08:12.169605 #24517] INFO -- omniauth: (upwork) Request phase initiated.
OAuth::Unauthorized (405 Method Not Allowed):

By the documentation this seems to be when I either try a GET to a POST only, or a POST to a GET only endpoint.
In Upwork's API reference they explicitly say that:
Get request token
Endpoint
POST /api/auth/v1/oauth/token/request
My strategy is currently as this:
require 'json'
require 'omniauth-oauth'
module OmniAuth
module Strategies
class Upwork < OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth
option :client_options, {
:site => "https://www.upwork.com/api",
:request_token_path => "/api/auth/v1/oauth/token/request",
:authorize_url => "/services/api/auth",
:access_token_path => "api/auth/v1/oauth/token/access",
}
uid { request.params['user_id'] }
def request_phase
request_token = consumer.get_request_token(:oauth_callback => callback_url)
session['oauth'] ||= {}
session['oauth'][name.to_s] = {'callback_confirmed' => request_token.callback_confirmed?, 'request_token' => request_token.token, 'request_secret' => request_token.secret}
if request_token.callback_confirmed?
redirect request_token.authorize_url(options[:authorize_params].merge(:oauth_consumer_key => consumer.key))
else
redirect request_token.authorize_url(options[:authorize_params].merge(:oauth_callback => callback_url, :oauth_consumer_key => consumer.key))
end
rescue ::Timeout::Error => e
fail!(:timeout, e)
rescue ::Net::HTTPFatalError, ::OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError => e
fail!(:service_unavailable, e)
end
def raw_info
#raw_info ||= JSON.load(access_token.get('/me.json')).body
end
end
end
end
I tried changing "consumer.get_request_token" to "consumer.post_request_token" but I think that has nothing to do with it.
The request_phase was ripped off of a gem I found and the JSON.load from a different one. I thought it would work with only these 2 but it seems not. I'm learning slowly how to use all this and would like to build first a usable strategy and then provide it as a public gem for omniauth.
UpWork has an API documentation, and they even have a gem for ruby, but I would like to use OmniAuth for everything, plus, I'll need to figure out other API's in the future so I would like to know how to do this well.
https://developers.upwork.com/?lang=ruby#authentication_oauth-10
Anybody can help with this? Or with creating an OmniAuth gem for Upwork.
Thanks!
(edited to change the error - now it's much thinner output but it's the same error)
The request_phase method is actually a method that belongs to omniauth-oauth which you required on top of the upwork.rb and your class Upwork inherits it (OmniAuth::Strategies::OAuth). you don't have to override it.

How to integrate SoundCloud in Ruby on Rails?

I am new to RubyOnRails and SoundCloud.
I want to integrate SoundCloud API in my ruby on rails application.
For this I have registered on SoundCloud And I got the ClientID and ClientSecret. Also I have downloaded the SDK.
Now I have copied the files and folders from lib and spec directory to my applications lib and spec directory. Also I have added gem 'soundcloud' in the Gemfile.
After this I made simple code (copied from doc) in My Interactor:
# register a client with YOUR_CLIENT_ID as client_id_
client = SoundCloud.new(:client_id => YOUR_CLIENT_ID)
# get 10 hottest tracks
tracks = client.get('/tracks', :limit => 10, :order => 'hotness')
# print each link
tracks.each do |track|
puts track.permalink_url
end
But here I'm getting the error -
uninitialized constant MyApp::Interactors::MyInteractor::MyAction::SoundCloud
I followed the steps from APIDoc. Is there any step by step example for integrating SoundCloud in Ruby on Rails so that I can follow?
How can I resolve this error?
MyInteracor.rb
module MyApp
module Interactors
module MyInteractor
class MyAction < Struct.new(:user, :params)
def run
# SoundCloud
# register a client with YOUR_CLIENT_ID as client_id_
client = SoundCloud.new(:client_id => 'my-client-id')
# get 10 hottest tracks
tracks = client.get('/tracks', :limit => 10, :order => 'hotness')
# print each link
tracks.each do |track|
puts track.permalink_url
end
end
end
end
end
end
There's a typo in the soundcloud github page change the line:
client = SoundCloud.new(:client_id => 'my-client-id')
to
client = Soundcloud.new(:client_id => 'my-client-id')
[notice the lowercase c in Soundcloud]
Also you are going to need your client secret for SoundCloud's API to verify you.
Perhaps put client method and in it have client = SoundCloud.new(your-client-id,your-secret-key-your-redirect-uri) in a controller or helper with your client_id, client_secret, and redirect uri values protected in a .env file.
I think by leaving out your redirect_uri and client secret you might be getting this error in MyInteractor.rb
Hope this helps

Twitter User Hash for Sorcery Authentication

I'm using the Sorcery gem and their external module to authenticate with Twitter. I've got the authentication working, but I want to store the user's Twitter profile image URL in my database after a successful log in. Sorcery seems to have a configuration option that's meant to do exactly what I want:
config.twitter.user_info_mapping = {:nickname => "screen_name"}
Maybe I've missed something in the Sorcery documentation, but I can't find any information about what "keys" are available. I tried this to no avail:
config.twitter.user_info_mapping = {:nickname => "screen_name", :avatar_url => "profile_image_url"}
Has anyone found documentation about this?
That is just what you get from twitter in json format.
Here is a twitter documentation about it https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/account/verify_credentials
config.twitter.user_info_mapping = {:username => "screen_name",
:realname => "name",
:location => "place",
:web => "url",
:bio => "description"}

ArgumentError on application requests

I've written a basic Rails 3 application that shows a form and an upload form on specific URLs. It was all working fine yesterday, but now I'm running into several problems that require fixing. I'll try to describe each problem as best as I can. The reason i'm combining them, is because I feel they're all related and preventing me from finishing my task.
1. Cannot run the application in development mode
For some unknown reason, I cannot get the application to run in development mode. Currently i've overwritten the production.rb file from the environment with the settings from the development environment to get actuall stacktraces.
I've added the RailsEnv production setting to my VirtualHost setting in apache2, but it seems to make no difference. Nor does settings ENV variable to production.
2. ArgumentError on all calls
Whatever call I seem to make, results in this error message. The logfile tells me the following:
Started GET "/" for 192.168.33.82 at
Thu Apr 07 00:54:48 -0700 2011
ArgumentError (wrong number of
arguments (1 for 0)):
Rendered
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.6/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/_trace.erb
(1.0ms) Rendered

within rescues/layout (8.4ms)
This means nothing to me really. I have no clue what's going wrong. I currently have only one controller which looks like this:
class SearchEngineController < ApplicationController
def upload
end
def search
#rows = nil
end
# This function will receive the query string from the search form and perform a search on the
# F.I.S.E index to find any matching results
def query
index = Ferret::Index::Index.new :path => "/public/F.I.S.E", :default_field => 'content'
#rows = Array.New
index.search_each "content|title:#{params[:query]}" do |id,score, title|
#rows << {:id => id, :score => score, :title => title}
end
render :search
end
# This function will receive the file uploaded by the user and process it into the
# F.I.S.E for searching on keywords and synonims
def process
index = Ferret::Index::Index.new :path => "public/F.I.S.E", :default_field => 'content'
file = File.open params[:file], "r"
xml = REXML::Document.new file
filename = params[:file]
title = xml.root.elements['//body/title/text()']
content = xml.root.elements['normalize-space(//body)']
index << { :filename => filename, :title => title, :content => content}
file.close
FileUtils.rm file
end
end
The routing of my application has the following setup: Again this is all pretty basic and probably can be done better.
Roularta::Application.routes.draw do
# define all the url paths we support
match '/upload' => 'search_engine#upload', :via => :get
match '/process' => 'search_engine#process', :via => :post
# redirect the root of the application to the search page
root :to => 'search_engine#search'
# redirect all incoming requests to the query view of the search engine
match '/:controller(/:action(/:id))' => 'search_engine#search'
end
If anyone can spot what's wrong and why this application is failing, please let me know. If needed I can edit this awnser and include additional files that might be required to solve this problem.
EDIT
i've managed to get further by renaming one of the functions on the controller. I renamed search into create and now I'm getting back HAML errors. Perhaps I used a keyword...?
woot, finally found the solutions....
Seems I used keywords to define my actions, and Rails didn't like this. This solved issue 2.
Issue 1 got solved by adding Rails.env= 'development' to the environment.rb file
