I have started trying to use Pfeed plugin for my Rails app. Apart from four support pages of wiki on the Github, I only found this blog post helpful for me to start using.
I have managed to get the simple feeds working like "User bought 12 items about 1 minute ago" etc. But when it comes to customize the feed items, that's where I have having issues to proceed. Pfeed uses Model&View items for each feed configuration and I found out that models are working as it should be. Very frustrating.
Has anyone used this Plugin before? If so, please do let me know how it goes. Also if you have ever used any other good plugins for this sort of Recent Activity feature, please show me the way.
Many thanks.

Not sure if it's the answer you're looking for, but I looked through a bunch of timeline generators and settled for timeline_fu
It's quite easy to use (I ended up forking it and making some edits so save some extra variables etc. but it was really easy to do).

I'm a total novice when it comes to coding, so I've build my website in RapidWeaver and I'm happy with the result. But when I try to track clicks on my website I run into a problem with a missing ID. Is there any way that I will still be able to track clicks on my website?
I've tried to look at other answers to this, but it all involves a lot of code and I'm so very bad at that.
My needs are reasonably simple but I cannot seem to find a working solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't want to start implementing something from scratch if I can use a open source solution that is well stablished and I can eventually contribute in some way.
My Requirements
1- I need to have all events stored in the database so I can fetch them (and their content) with a background process for manipulation. I will process all events once/twice a day for any given day. Processing mainly consists of sending out reminders etc.
2- I need to allow recurring events.
3- I need custom forms and application specific custom fields for all events.(this seemed to leave google calendar out)
4- UI needs to display events depending on user logged in.
5- all day events not required
What I have looked at so far:
FullCalendar: Seems the most plausible although I haven't yet figured out how to accomplish #3 above.
event_calendar: I have no idea how to implement recurring events efficiently using this solution. It seems like I would have to implement it from scratch using iCal's standards etc. Does not sound like fun. Any suggestions here?
Ice_Cube: This would potentially help with the event_calendar recurring event implementation.
I have not worked with calendars before so I might be missing something really simple. Please let me know your thoughts.
Env: Rails 3.1, looking for gem/plugin/JQuery solution. If not found will try to implement from scratch. =) Thank you for your help.
Check dhtmlxScheduler, it solves all above requirements.
Also, there is a ROR integration sample
I'm looking for a rails plugin to show request statistics (# of sql queries, time, etc) on each request while in development mode. Something like http://getglimpse.com/ would be great. I've seen one or two of these before but for the life of me I can't find them. Any help?
Ideally, it would show in the header or the footer of every page.
I found a few including the one I was thinking about and some others.
This one is amazing so far:
https://github.com/dsboulder/query_reviewer
This is the one I was thinking of:
https://github.com/josevalim/rails-footnotes
This seems to be a similar but better plugin to rails-footnotes:
https://github.com/brynary/rack-bug
May be best to mix and match these, try rack-bug and query_reviewer
A few others are linked from query_reviewer
i have a website, its to exchange links, files... to say it quickly it's my 'version' of twitter+megaupload,
Well, users add links all the time and so on, but i would like user be able to syinch his bookmarks from the browser to the ones he has at his profile of mywebsite,
Where should i look into?
Basically i need to be able to:
- Acces bookmarks file (1)
- being able to send the urls to my service ( 2 )
- maybe adding the login feature (in the future)
I was google'ing about this for ages few weeks a go and i kind of give up, because i'm ok with PHP and JS, but with this plugin languages i'm very lost. So i decided posting here, wich always brings positive answers
(1) - > I don't even know where to start
(2) -> i was thinking to have a website.com/auto_import_no_confirm.php?url=[URL] and put it in a for each.
how many different languages and extension files do i have to work with? I really need any kind of tip with point (1)
feel like?
-edit-
Just found This -> https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Code_snippets/Bookmarks
wich really looks like i need, but where do i place this code?
thanks!
Might not be a bad question, but there are too many subtopics raised to answer that. (And there is too much tagspam as well. Break up your question into PHP- and Javascript-specific tasks, when you have devised the general application scheme.)
But to get started, download similar Firefox extensions (.xpi) and unzip them to inspect the general structure. You'll find examplary code for bookmark handling and invoking remote APIs pretty quickly. And basically you only need Javascript for the extension itself. (It sounds like your extension does not need much UI.)
And there are many tutorials on designing Firefox addons: http://roachfiend.com/archives/2004/12/08/how-to-create-firefox-extensions/ or http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox+develop+an+xpi
The good news first, you won't need much more than javascript if you just want to access bookmarks and send them to a server, neither on firefox nor on chrome.
But still you'll have to make yourself familiar with the apis of the browsers and learn how to develop extensions.
However, both Mozilla and Google provide all necessary information on their developer sites.
For Chrome, this is a good place to start, you'll find the api for bookmark access here.
The Corresponding site for Firefox can be found here, with information on bookmark access here.
I'd like to write a little book on personal topics together with two friends of mine, remotely located. Do you know of any FOSS content publishing system like the one from O'Reilly (OPFS)?
I saw the one that powers the django book but It seems that the code It's not released yet. I accept any kind of backend technology for this project.
I'd like to:
edit the book on the web and let my friend do the same after authentication.
anyone of us could comment other's entries.
You could use Google Wave. You get the benefit of watching where others are editing / you can roll back the whole doc or specific parts / comment on specific parts plus you can use it from any computer so you don't have to be home or carry a laptop to edit your book when inspiration hits you.
OK, I'm going to roll out my own solution following the direction written here. I like a lot thigs like bitesizeedits or leanpub. The base will be a multiuser platform: mu. I'm quite fond with wordpress and as version control I'm happy with GIT. The commenting system will be digress.it.
