Comment on Installing a Private Git Repository on your Shared Hosting Account, BlueHost by Robert

Robert — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:57:10 +0000

Thanks! Great article.
I’d like to make one correction: for the git clone command, in order to git it to work for me, I prepended ssh:// to the url, such as:

git clone ssh://username@domain.com/~/git_project

I would recommend taking a look at the Money gem. It handles money, currency and exchange *extremely* well. http://github.com/RubyMoney/money

Comment on Using lambda with named scopes in Rails 3 by megatux

You can also use a class method like this

def self.search(query)
where(["name LIKE ?", "%#{query}%"])
end

if you don’t like the lambda syntax

configure: error: invalid variable name: –with-unix-socket-path

Comment on Scriptaculous Effect.BlindUp and Effect.BlindDown by scotty

scotty — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 04:58:54 +0000

Very nice instructions. I used your suggestions and made a slight modification, since I need multiple show/hide’s for different divs:

function show_log_div(log_div, hide_button_div, show_button_div){
Effect.BlindDown(log_div);
$(hide_button_div).style.display = ‘inline’;
$(show_button_div).style.display = ‘none’;
}

function hide_log_div(log_div, hide_button_div, show_button_div){
Effect.BlindUp(log_div);
$(hide_button_div).style.display = ‘none’;
$(show_button_div).style.display = ‘inline’;
}

This brought me from 12 functions to 2 (6 divs with show/hide functionality.

Also used rails instead of link_to, per your suggestion.

Comment on How to upgrade/update the sqlite3 version on your Mac by RonOnRails

RonOnRails — Wed, 11 May 2011 08:11:38 +0000

There are a couple of gotchas:

curl http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.6.18.tar.gz | tar xvfz

delete the f switch otherwise tar expects an argument to follow.

./configure –prefix=/usr/local

The long dash before should be replaced by –(double dash).

This works:

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
curl http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.6.18.tar.gz | tar xvz
cd sqlite-3.6.18
autoconf
./configure –prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

# check what version of SQLite is installed
sqlite3 –version
# 3.6.18

Comment on Creating a MySQL Database from Terminal or Command Line by Vladimir

Thank you! It’s exactly what I was searching for.

Does exists any command available in Terminal to list all available databases?
