Demo App Posted

Posted by rrwhite March 21st, 2007

It’s still pretty raw, like a lot of things around here, but demo.activescaffold.com finally resolves to something. In th e future it will be a little more refined and we’ll provide a link to download the source but you can always get it via svn: 
svn co http://activescaffold.googlecode.com/svn/applications/demo

    Uhm.. the installation instructions in “getting started” are far from complete. Can you add a scripts/plugin friendly tag to the SVN repository? Nothing I try seems to work.

    Michael: Can you be more specific about the problems you’re having.

    After reading my own comment, I realized how horrid it sounded. “Far from” is not the term I should have used. They’re nearly complete, I’m just having trouble with installing the plugin. There’s an install.rb, but I seem to be ignorant as to a way of installing a plugin from the local filesystem. If there’s a way to do it with the svn url that you’ve posted, and I’m just doing it wrong, I’ll gladly look in that direction. :)

    Thanks for the rapid response!

    I don’t have SVN. How do I get the plugin to work? I’ve downloaded the zip file and yes there is an install.rb. But now what? I’m puzzled…

    We set up a tags/active_scaffold that will play nicely with script/plugin, so now you may:

    ./script/plugin install http://activescaffold.googlecode.com/svn/tags/active_scaffold

    As far as installation goes all you need to do is put ActiveScaffold into your vendor/plugins folder. Whether you download the zip and extract it there or use SVN to get it there matters not.

    Lance and Richard:

    Thanks! It had an install.rb, and looking at it implied that some stuff needed to be copied to the public directory, so I was doing that manually. I’m still a bit new to rails, I’m guessing the plugin would automatically copy the files as needed, with or without the “install”?

    thanks for the source of the demo! i am about to go grab it now so i can figure out how to make my ActiveScaffold look pretty. Before i go though. For those trying to figure out how to use SVN. The easiest way that i have found by far for rails development in windows is to use eclipse with radrails and subclipse

    get this http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/eclipse-SDK-3.2.2-win32.zip

    then do this http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Integrating_RadRails_with_Aptana

    then do this http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html

    eclipse was very easy to learn, though a bit intimidating at first. There is some excellent documentation at the site roots i pasted above. Especially http://www.aptana.com

    Anyways hope that helps some.
