As a newbie to RoR, I ran into some predictable and frustrating blocks while building the onemonthrails' project.Thankfully, they were solved with the help of Lee Matos who should be given an award for patience in dealing with beginners. The replies were almost always quick except for the last query about Glyphicons not displaying properly on Heroku but I guess that needed a bit of time as quite a few people had that issue and Stackoverflow didn't have the answers for me, meaning the fixes suggested there didn't work.
Error #1: Glyphicons on Heroku
If you have a problem with the glyphicons not displaying on being deplyed to Heroku, here's what I did based on Lee's suggestion, which worked:
"@import 'bootstrap-sprockets';" should be added to the bootstrap.css.scss file and "config.assets.precompile += %w( *.svg *.eot *.woff *.ttf )" should be added to production.rb. The precompiling of bootstrap changed in recent versions and interacts differently with Rails 4.
Error#2.Update button not working.
This was laughable because I went through my code and Mattan, the instructor's code placing them side by side and found nothing, and as is often the case, I had forgotten to close a piece of code. (The most important lesson in coding: close what you open.)
Tip#1
Amazon S3 has a free basic plan, in case you guys are looking at a storage format.
I'm looking to take up Ruby seriously now. After sifting through many reviews online, I'm settled on Tealeaf Academy. There's something straight and honest about the way they've presented themselves.
I'm off to my first Meetup in a few hours, will post the details. Happy coding!
