Comment on How to use Redmine when your Ruby is too new by DaijoubuKun

DaijoubuKun — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 02:21:27 +0000

Well that figures, once I finally work out all my typos and such, get this posted, I see that Redmine 1.3.0 is out. Well if you followed this not realizing what was going on, I’m sorry.

If you already followed this before seeing this comment, I have a simple fix. It’s quick and dirty (which is the way I like it).

First, download the new version. You can get 1.2.3 or 1.3.0.

Next, make a backup! Then go to where you extracted redmine and rename it to redmine-1.2.3 or redmine-1.3.0 depending on the version you are upgrading to.

Extract the new tar.gz file. It will overwrite many files, but not the ones you renamed from .example to … well, removed the .example from. The only difference is config/environment.rb. You will still need to uncomment the line listed above.

Rename the redmine folder to redmine/ and change ownership of all files to the redmine user (just like before).

Next, su to the redmine user: su – redmine

If you can not login as the remine user, change your /etc/passwd file! Did you remember from what we did above?

type gem install rails -v=2.3.14 only if you are running Redmine 1.3.0. Otherwise you are all done.

Login to Redmine and go to Administration –> Information. If you do not see the new version listed you need to restart Rails. Try killing the process and then access Redmine. It will fire right back up.

EDIT: I should have read the upgrade information on Redmine’s website. I missed a couple steps: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineUpgrade

Comment on ShopSavvy, Compare Everywhere, and SnapTell for Android by DaijoubuKun

Update as of Aug. 16th, 2011. Compare Everywhere no longer appears in my market place. It may be gone. Shop Savvy, my previous favorite, has turned to the dark side. With version 4.5.0 it wants access to your contacts. The about page says this is to pre-populate shipping data. I call BS on it. Until it is fixed, if it ever is, I will go back to SnapTell and one I didn’t mention here (I wrote this a long time ago), barcode scanner.

UPDATE! Aug. 24th, 2001. Shop Savvy has removed the request for contact data as per the request and feedback from many many users. Good job guys! We all appreciate it and look forward to using your product again.

Comment on Hacking moviebeam by DaijoubuKun

Unfortunately it seems that the hardware itself can not take any video in, and the antenna is designed for their system and not the current ATSC signals. Your best bet it to either buy a DVR (TiVo, a DVD burner with built in tuner, or something like that) or you can build one out of an old computer.

Comment on Dynamically add form fields using javascript and DOM with dynamic post method by jcode

jcode — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:13:57 +0000

Hey I was wondering if you could help me out. I am creating a form where people can add more crates to their order by clicking the "add" button. When they click it, I would like it to return my unique_input field. Any thoughts?



    Crate
    
 


Next Crate (Width x Height x Depth):

function add(type) {
 
    //Create an input type dynamically.
    var element = document.createElement("input");
 
    //Assign different attributes to the element.
    element.setAttribute("type", type);
    element.setAttribute("value", type);
    element.setAttribute("name", type);
	 
    var foo = document.getElementById("unique_input");
 
    //Append the element in page (in span).
    foo.appendChild(element);
 
}

add “user” or “users” to the options in your fstab and it should let your users mount it as well.

Fixed it! I had the add_barcode() function called by an onChange event in the text fields. Setting it to onFocus fixed it. Thanks for the code and your help!

Yes, I tried manually keying in numbers and hitting tab and it does the same thing in Firefox and IE - skips the new field and goes to the button. Just realized that the code for the form got left out of my post above. Again, I really appreciate your help with this! Barcodes:
