Projects


I will be lisiting information about personal projects (Ruby and Rails) related here. Additionally I will be (occasionally) posting about the progress of the projects as they are worked on.

Yale CAS/RoR Integration

Ruby/Rails/Yale CAS integration. A simple client :before_filter interface is desired.

Typo Rich Editor

  • Inclusion of FCKeditor or TinyMCE.
  • Looking at this for my sister, also it is Typo #787.
  • File Management needs to be ported from PHP for these.
  • TinyMCE has a fix for being hidden (display: none) that FCK doesn't have.
  • Found a project that sits on top of these editors to allow switching between them. (Don't Use)

Rating (Inactive)

A plugin is completed but requires some hackery to make workable, I will look at a rewrite in the next few weeks and a public release

  • Rating plugin
    • Enable rating of arbitrary ActiveRecord objects
    • Use the acts_as_* paradigm
    • Permit configuration of range (i.e. 1..10,1..100, etc.)
    • Methods for average rating, total "votes"
    • Provide ajax helpers for input of ratings:
      • Stars ranking selection
      • Thumbs up/down style

Polling (Inactive, dependent on Rating)

  • Polling plugin for Typo
    • Allow polling in sidebar
    • Support rating of both articles and comments
    • Grant/deny multiple "votes"
    • Track IPs and convert to geo location?
    • Afford multiple result types
      • Horizontal CSS bar graphs
      • Vertical CSS bar graphs
      • Pie Charts (drool)
      • Possibly Integrate Sparklines
      • Possibly integrate Gruff Graphs
