App dev 1

Write the App from Scratch

Steps done on 1/17/12

$ rails new bridgetroll -T
$ cd bridgetroll/
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git status
$ git commit -m "brand new rails app"

add this to the Gemfile

  gem 'devise'

Then on the command line:

$ bundle

$ rails g scaffold event title:string
$ rake db:migrate

$ rails generate devise:install
      create  config/initializers/devise.rb
      create  config/locales/devise.en.yml

Setup you must do manually if you haven't yet:

1. In config/environments/development.rb development environment:

   config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }

   This is a required Rails configuration. In production it must be the actual host of your application

2. Ensure you have defined root_url to something in your config/routes.rb. For example:

   root :to => "events#index"

3. Ensure you have flash messages in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb. For example:

   <%= notice %>

   <%= alert %>

$ rails g devise:install

add this to config/environments/development.rb config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }

add this to config/routes.rb root :to => "events#index"

$ git rm public/index.html

add this to app/views/layouts/application.html.erb (under the yield)

  <p class="notice"><%= notice %></p>
  <p class="alert"><%= alert %></p>

add this to config/application.rb config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

$ rails generate devise User

uncomment out some of the features that you want in the user model (app/models/user.rb) and the migration file (in my case db/migrate/20120118045557_devise_create_users.rb ) see http://blazingcloud.net/2011/01/08/devise-authentication-in-rails-3/

$ rake db:migrate
$ rails generate devise:views
