I installed the draftsman gem on a new install of jumpstart pro but it is conflicting with Activerecord.
Is their a workaround?

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "activerecord":
In Gemfile:
draftsman was resolved to 0.8.0.dev, which depends on
activerecord (>= 4.2, < 5.3)

rails (~> 6.0.0) was resolved to 6.0.1.rc1, which depends on
  activerecord (= 6.0.1.rc1)

I've finally resolved this problem by updating Chrome to the latest version.

Yes, the select menu items overflow outside the border of the box.

I agree it may be a css issue.

This is the css code for the select box shown in the image above.

          <div class="form-group">
            <%= f.association :categories, as: :select %>
          </div>

Yes, the bordered box doesn't contail all the items. It might be a css issue but the box shows correctly in firefox and safari

This is annoying.
The select menus are overlapping in Chrome.


Has anyone run across this? How did you fix.

I just finished adding a feature to review a web page and extract names of people.
I used the alchemy-api-rb gem.
which allowed me to make an easy request to the AlchemyAPI - one of the API's fed by Watson.
The call to the API return a JSON file which I parsed for my app.

I'm not sure how cost effective will (you get charged per API call) but it's neat to use Watson for a feature!

Perfect. Thanks dude.

I'm trying to extract the "text" element if the "type" is "Person" from this JSON output.
I''ve been able to store the JSON in an instance variable @output and am using the following to begin iterating it
<% @output.each do |item| %>
<%= item %>
<% end %>

But - stuck there.

Here's a sample of the JSON output:

[{"type"=>"Person", "relevance"=>"0.896887", "count"=>"14", "text"=>"Gloria Etting"}, {"type"=>"City", "relevance"=>"0.35271", "count"=>"4", "text"=>"Los Angeles", "disambiguated"=>{"subType"=>["GovernmentalJurisdiction", "OlympicBiddingCity", "OlympicHostCity", "PlaceWithNeighborhoods", "FilmScreeningVenue"], "name"=>"Los Angeles", "geo"=>"34.05 -118.25", "website"=>"http://www.lacity.org/", "dbpedia"=>"http://dbpedia.org/resource/Los_Angeles", "freebase"=>"http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.030qb3t"}}, {"type"=>"City", "relevance"=>"0.347755", "count"=>"4", "text"=>"Philadelphia"}, {"type"=>"Person", "relevance"=>"0.32636", "count"=>"3", "text"=>"Betsey Cushing Roosevelt Whitney", "disambiguated"=>{"subType"=>["Collector"], "name"=>"Betsey Cushing Roosevelt Whitney", "dbpedia"=>"http://dbpedia.org/resource/Betsey_Cushing_Roosevelt_Whitney", "freebase"=>"http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.06czgg", "yago"=>"http://yago-knowledge.org/resource/Betsey_Cushing_Roosevelt_Whitney"}}, {"type"=>"Person", "relevance"=>"0.290267", "count"=>"2", "text"=>"Emlen Etting", "disambiguated"=>{"name"=>"Emlen Etting", "dbpedia"=>"http://dbpedia.org/resource/Emlen_Etting", "freebase"=>"http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.0b6hzqr"}},

Thanks John for the thorough answer. I'm going to have a go at rolling this from scratch.

I would like to offer people x views of certain pages then prompt them to pay for access.
I was looking ot use this gem acts_as_paywall - https://github.com/BarefootCoders/acts_as_paywall
but wanted to know if there was an easier way to do this.

Thanks?

I found the answer.
The date range parameter is handled by the groupbydate gem.
I needed to do this:
line_chart User.group_by_day(:created_at, range: 1.month.ago.midnight..Time.now).count

This is my helper:
def core7_by_month

line_chart User.group_by_day(:created_at).count, library: {
title: {text: 'Church members by month', x: -20},
chart: {
type: 'spline'
},
yAxis: {
crosshair: true,
allowDecimals: false,
title: {
text: 'Church Subscribers count'
}
},
xAxis: {
crosshair: true,
title: {
text: 'Year'
}
},
plotOptions: {
line: {
pointStart: 1.month.ago
}
}
}
end

This is in the view
<%= core7_by_month %>

This is driving me nuts.
I'm trying to set a dynamic start date of 1 month ago for a line chart using Chartkick / HighCharts.
But can't find the right syntax.

Thanks!

I have a simple blog setup with a posts model. Is there a gem that can publish a feed or should I create thus from scratch?

Hey Chris, I've set up Notifications for 3 models. How do you configure the json.url to route to the right url?

I love this nifty bit of code. I'm wondering how would you go about using will_paginate to paginate the comments?

That works.
I overlooked that their is a comments model to pull from.
Thanks!

I should have mentioned that I'm showing the comments on an dashboard view that shows info from multiple models. So what you provided throws a 'undefined local variable or method `commentable' error.

For example I have a contacts model that is commentable and I would like to show the comments from that model on the dashboard(index)

Question Chris - I'm trying to show the last 5 comments in the show view. I can't get the query string right. Thanks for your help!
