After a couple of months of intense coding Robert Loch and I launched RecommendBox yesterday. Its a site based around requesting and giving recommendations to your friends. There were a few immediate issues!! IE 6 is not yet fully supported, but on the whole it went ok. Now, sleep…….
Due to the incredible amount of spam it was getting I added a captcha today to the fckeditor demo using Captchator which is a pretty easy and quick way of doing it. It means you have to enter the text to create a new note but hopefully will mean things are a lot better.
I should [...]

I was looking for a neat way to crop images last night and had originally planned to use the excellent jsCropper library from Dave Spurr, which I have used on projects before. When, during a bit of googling about I came across Kropper from Jonathon Wolke. It takes a slightly different approach to Cropper with [...]
Ben Smith who I work with over at Cominded has put up a good article on getting your site to work with the iPhone. Definitely worth a read (as is much of his blog), now all I need to do is find a way to get one – I knew I shouldn’t of been tempted [...]
I have just completed (well apart from moving any assets over) the switch from Typo to Mephisto. It was fairly painless. There was one :dependent declaration that needed fixing in the converter code and other than that pretty much everything I needed to know was in these two posts.

Out of the box acts_as_paranoid comes with the ability to define a belongs_to relationship as including deleted records (although to get it to work you need to add require File.dirname(FILE) + ’/lib/caboose/acts/belongs_to_with_deleted_association’ to the init.rb file):
class ModelA < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :model_b, :with_deleted => true
end
This works quite nicely for that ModelA, but what happens if [...]
So after a lot of work (mostly done by the three other members of the team – Richard White, Lance Ivy and Ed Moss) the new shiny version of AjaxScaffold has reached RC1 and is available under its new name ActiveScaffold.
Richard White gives a bit more info about it on his blog.
This will pretty much [...]
We released a new version of AS today which fixes the issues with prototype and rico when using Rails 1.2.1. For details of the issue you can see my previous post.
This is simply a fix for the v3 plugin and contains none of the new (and very exciting stuff) coming in v4. It should be [...]
