UPDATED for HAML 2.0 and RSpec 1.1.5 - Changed open to haml_tag, prefix helper. to all rspec calls...
The most recent release of HAML introduced a neat feature that allows you to use HAML-like syntax in your helpers to generate HTML HAML#haml_tag.

For my social networking site snowdogsr.us I decided to escape all user input that gets displayed. I know people like to trick out their profiles with HTML but I want to avoid the various hacks that it allows.
So thinking I had done a good job of using h everywhere I output user input fields, I decided to see if I could actually test this with RSpec view tests.

This one is so blatantly obvious it bit me in the Butt at 4am this morning when I had to get up and fix it! I am so embarrassed, luckily no private data got out, as no-one has entered any private data yet.
I used the script/generate scaffold_resource to get started, and I left in those nice format.xml things in, thinking I may use them in the future. For the most part this is not a problem, but one of my controllers is a profile table. Much of the data in there is public anyway so no big deal, but a few columns are private data like email, date of birth, phone numbers etc. These are specifically private and not viewable publicly. This is enforced but not having a view that shows any of that stuff to the general public.

This is a simple one.
I use the excellent acts_as_taggable plugin, and I wanted to have a
tag cloud like everyone does.

In part 1 I outlined my project to implement snowdogsr.us a social networking site for snow dogs.
I am pleased to announce that version 1 of this site is up, however I had to make some trade-offs to get it up this far. I needed to prioritize my goals and just get the essentials implemented.

I have been using JEdit more and more for my rails development, I have gone back and forth between it and Epsilon, however JEdit is starting to win out. I have upgraded to the latest pre version (4.3pre9).
I have modified a number of macros to do my bidding, and I dumped the Ruby Plugin because I kept running into things it did that I disliked, and it still seems a little buggy.

I have started a new project for myself and a few friends, Snow Dogs R Us. This site just went live! (on 6/20/2007). It is a full blown Web2.0 (insert other buzz words here), social networking site for Snow Dogs and their (human) parents.
It is certainly a challenging project and taking much longer than I anticipated.

I've just started a new RoR project and thought I'd try out HAML for the views instead of rhtml.
Seeing as I just switched to JEdit, I looked for a HAML language mode, and to my surprise no one had done one yet.
