Standup 06/26/2009: Poor ScrewUnit...
edit Posted by Joe Moore on Friday June 26, 2009 at 01:45PM
  • JQuery Events/live + ScrewUnit = :-(. ScrewUnit swaps the DOM "out from under" the elements that Events/live is watching, which messes with ScrewUnit. Call die on the DOM elements that live events are watching.

  • ScrewUnit + CI + IE = :'-( Also, When ScrewUnit suites become large, they trigger IE's "slow script" warning, which can freeze your continuous integration build. Check out the Registry Hack to set your own timeout.

  • We have a fan of Thor in the house: "Map options to a class. Simply create a class with the appropriate annotations, and have options automatically map to functions and parameters." Which, as is (not) obvious, indicates that Thor is a replacement for rake.

Standup 06/23/2009: Multi-table Inheritance?
edit Posted by Joe Moore on Tuesday June 23, 2009 at 04:29PM

Ask for Help

"Has anyone implemented mutli-table (class table) inheritance in Rails, as apposed to single table inheritance (STI)?"

  • There are some plugins that nobody has tried, such as inherits_from
  • What about a view to represent the super set of tables and rows?

"We're looking for a dead-simple, drop-in JS rating or 'starting' plugin."

Check out the start-rating jQuery plugin. Any other suggestions?
