photographer-io

Hi, I know of https://coderwall.com/ open source their app recently. Also http://yumhacker.com/ and https://github.com/afternoonrobot/photographer-io Those are big Rails project (to me), real world application that I can learn from. It's better than watching sometime outdated screencast, book, tutorial. Do you know any of other on Github? Thanks.

Sorry for the slow reply! I somehow totally missed this one. I've just pushed up what are hopefully some useful instructions on getting it running, so the README should now be a little more helpful: https://github.com/afternoonrobot/photographer-io#developmen... It's not entirely straightforward to set up, and I must confess that it has been a while since I did it from scratch. Assuming you already have Ruby installed, then you would definitely need the following: PostgreSQL 9+ (probably 9.2+), Redis, Memcached. Solr probably won't break anything if it doesn't exist, except for the search. If you have any trouble getting it going or need a hand, give me a shout on Twitter (@robotmay) and I'll open up an IRC channel to help you through it. I might need to do that anyway actually, as I suspect there'll be a few people with issues :D

Ah ha, that's actually not the doing of Slim but rather my usage of I18n, the localisation system used in Rails. Whenever you see t("something.stuff") or I18n.t("something.other.stuff") it's looking for those keys in YAML files under config/locales, primarily in en.yml at the moment. So the text you're looking for is here: https://github.com/afternoonrobot/photographer-io/blob/maste... I'm not sure my way's the best, but I'm passing two generated links into that t() call which are then interpolated into the string in the YAML file. If you've not used I18n before then it can make the views really confusing to read through without the text to reference! :)

Congrats on the wonderful job. So I guess my first question about Slim is how does it work? For instance, I am trying to figure out how on your home page, you have the following copy: Upload, organise, and share your photographs alongside others, like Robert May did with this superb image. Where 'Robert May' and 'superb image' are dynamic links - that correspond to the image below it (although maybe you may want to change the copy to "the superb image below" or something of the sort, because it took me a while to realize that image showing on the page is the same image you were talking about and linked. I thought they were 2 different images). So, I guess just to start off...where is the actual copy of "Upload, organise, and share your photographs...." actually stored. I don't see that copy in the .slim file at all. It seems to be abstrac
