  • Redboxing with Rails: Modal Windows FTW

    There’s a great lightbox plugin for Ruby on Rails called Redbox. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work out of the box, but here’s the patch for redbox.js:

    Replace:

    Element.setTop(window_id, boxTop);
    Element.setLeft(window_id, boxLeft);

    With:

    $(window_id).style.top = boxTop + “px”;
    $(window_id).style.left = boxLeft + “px”;

    Remove or comment out:

    Element.hide(‘RB_loading’);

    Remove:

    <div id=”RB_loading”></div>

  • Part II of NoobWatcher: Automatically Reporting Server File Changes

    With Noobwatcher, I’m now able to be really on top of subversion commits. But now it’s time to start working on part II, the part that keeps track of my server configuration and makes sure that it’s correct for all the servers that I want to use.

    I’m taking a look at Tripwire. Are there any libraries that you use for automatically checking if files have changed?
