There's a project I'm currently working on, which is right now hosted on shared servers. I worked for a little while before on this project, but just to add some tiny features and fix some bugs, so I didn't have the need back then to have a deployment process all set up.

It's been a while since my last post. I've had a busy couple of weeks. But here I am again :).

As I explained before on the Rails 3.1 - Adding custom 404 and 500 error pages post, sometimes you might want to have a custom way to handle your not found and internal server errors. In that case we wanted to show the error with a custom template.

One thing that tends to happen with Git, is being careless with what you add to your repository.
I've seen this happen since I began using Git, a couple years ago, and it stays happening over and over again, for various reasons.

As I said in my last post, for our new site, we changed our blog engine from WordPress to the Postmarkdown gem. At the end of that post, I mentioned that we had to migrate the old posts from WordPress to Markdown.

• upmark
• ruby
• rubygems
• instructions

Another thing we added to our new site, uploaded back at the end of December, was the ability to write our blog posts in Markdown, which is a text-to-html tool that allows you to write formatted text without actually having to write all the corresponding HTML. Markdown is used for the project wiki pages on GitHub, and can also be used for the project's readme file.

This week, I've been deploying one of my current Ruby on Rails projects to WebFaction.
For what we found, it's definitely one of the best options out there for shared hosting with Python and Ruby.

As you may know, we've been using HAML lately for our views.

Long time no post! I've been really busy these days with some projects. Yet, here I am again, so here it goes.

One of the core features added in version 0.2.0 of the jQuery Rambling Slider is the ability to customize the transitions between images, between flash elements and between an image and a flash element.

• instructions
• plugins-and-libraries

One of the reasons that didn't allow me to release version 0.1.3 of the jQuery Rambilng Slider earlier this week was a really ugly bug with IE, flash and transitions from and image to a flash element and viceversa.

The current project I'm working on is not using Ruby on Rails, but I still want to use ActiveRecord Migrations for the database changes.

The jQuery Rambling Slider v0.1.2 was released a couple of days ago. One of the features added was the ability to start and stop the slider like this:

• custom
• image
• instructions
• jquery
• methods
• nivo-slider
• plugin
• plugins-and-libraries
• rambling
• rambling-slider
• slider

For a project that I'm currently working on, I have a couple of list views that needed pagination. So I went with the ol' will_paginate gem (which I first saw years ago when I didn't even consider myself a developer) to take care of this.

• jquery
• rails
• rails3-1
• ruby-on-rails

In order to continue to add tests to the jQuery Rambling Slider, I needed to test something against the DOM. Problem is, you don't count with the DOM when you're running the Jasmine tests from console. So what should I do?

• coffee-script
• coffeescript
• image
• instructions
• jasmine
• jquery
• jsdom
• nivo
• nodejs
• plugins-and-libraries
• rambling
• rambling-slider
• slider
• unit-testing

As you may know, I have been working lately on the jQuery Rambling Slider. One of my personal milestones with this project is to write as many unit tests as possible, so I began my research.

Today, I was wondering if there would be a way to add translated routes automatically in Ruby on Rails. This is for a project I'm currently working on, whose users speak mostly spanish, so I want to make them happy with urls like "/contacto", "/quienes-somos" and "/trabajos/1" instead of "/contact", "/about-us", and "jobs/1".
