Re: Feature: Inline templates?

2011-08-27 Thread Philippe Monnet
I am a bit ambivalent about the new feature. One hand it's kind of cool. But on the other it's something that most experienced campers probably won't use on moderate size apps. And for new campers it's one more syntactic sugar to learn and remember. On 8/26/2011 10:58 AM, Magnus Holm wrote:

Here is my recipe: 1. Setup up up your Gems prerequisites: create a .gems file in the root folder and list each gem version on a separate line. E.g.: rack --version '>= 1.2.1' markaby --version '= 0.5' camping --version '>= 2.1' 2. Create a RackUp script: create a config.ru file

I have never used that feature either. And for my apps I prefer to keep things compartimentalized / isolated anyway. On 12/20/2011 6:09 AM, David Susco wrote: I've never found myself working on multiple apps at once in a dev environment. Dave On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 6:14 AM, Magnus Holm wro

I think it would be fun too. Love meta stuff. In general I think the more tutorials / screencasts / posts / sites on Camping, the merrier. On 3/28/2012 12:40 AM, Dave Everitt wrote: I actually meant a website to do with camping (the outdoor pastime) done in camping.. Planning locations, to do

On one hand everyone is free to fork anything to change radical direction. This would allow for the size and some design constraints to be eliminated. But on the other hand, at this point in time (since we are the new community) shouldn't we free ourselves from the original constraints and just

Everything I actually learned about Camping was by reading the source code as it is quite a feat of engineering. And I learned a ton about metaprogramming too. So it can be quite interesting. :-) On 4/16/2012 12:41 PM, Nokan Emiro wrote: > Actually env[] works with mongrel also, not just

Re: http_referrer

2012-04-16 Thread Philippe Monnet
I think Nokan has a good point there: it is not easy for people new to Camping to know about the trick to compile/process/compact the source code. So an idea for the "new" version could be to leave the source as is (unabridged). Plus this makes debugging easier. :-) On 4/16/2012 2:59 PM, Bartos

Re: setting up the SQLite database

2012-05-20 Thread Philippe Monnet
I personally always use a config/database.yml file as I like to keep the configuration out of the code. Plus it makes it easier to switch between development and production configuration. E.g. for Heroku: dbconfig = YAML.load(File.read('config/database.yml')) # On Heroku the pro
