Well crap. You just made me realize that mine are broken too with the same problem!

Thanks so much for the support man! I really appreciate it. :D

Ah yes, that's right. You'll want to use that instead of params[:file] in order to pass in the UploadedFile object. That's really just like a temporary file, so as long as you pass it in, you should be fine. I think if you change this in your controller, then this should work:

    Code.import(@software, code_params[:code])

That's what I'm thinking too. Not sure I'll be able to help too much other than that, but let me know if you figure it out!

Sup Robert!

So the main thing here is just to make sure that your import code sets up the association between the software you select in the UI and the codes that are imported.

You will want to adjust your import code accordingly in order to do that, so here's what I'd suggest:

1. It looks like your view should have a select for the software_id so your controller can look up the appropriate software. Looks like you've got that in there with the f.association

2. When it hits your controller, you'll want to first lookup the software these codes should be associated with. Then you'll pass that software as an additional argument into the import code.

  def import
    @software = Software.find(params[:software_id])
    Code.import(@software, params[:file])
    redirect_to codes_path, notice: 'Codes were successfully uploaded!'
  end

1. Your import method just needs to accept a new attribute and then reference the association when creating codes now:

  def self.import(software, file)
    CSV.foreach(file.path, headers: true) do |row|
      software.codes.create! row.to_hash
    end
  end

That should do the trick!

Hey Benny,

You can redirect after sign up the a ProfilesController new action. If you want to enforce it, you can set a before_action :require_profile! that redirects users to that until they have created one. All sorta depends on how you want to the user experience to be like. Just make sure your require_profile before_action gets skipped on the new and create methods for the ProfilesController and that should do the trick!

This would be if you had the previous record for last week that contained that information, yes. You'd access this from the current week's record, and then you could compare the numbers between them basically.

Interesting, then you may either need to calculate it based on some information you have stored, or you may need to start storing a day for that week. Either way, you will want some want to store what week that represented which will allow you to display the correct date if that makes sense.

Oh wait, I think that's it! You're actually calculating the the beginning of week from today every single time you access it. Instead of using Date.today, I think you probably want to use the column saved to your record, probably week_start. That should fix it!

I was going to suggest something similar.

def last_score
  user.weekly_performance_reviews.order(week_start: :desc).last
end

This would do sorting based upon the week start (assuming that was a date) but your suggestion there would work as well since it's ordering by the IDs as long as those count up.

You might have something else going wrong then if records are getting overwritten. I'm not too sure about that. Any other info you have as to what might be going wrong?

Oh I see. That makes sense.

So you probably need to be able to find the previous weekly performance review from any record right? Are you setting week_start to like the Sunday or Monday beginning of each week?

When you use Less or Sass (especially when variables are involved) you won't really be able to use the require section at the top for the asset pipeline. At that point, you basically just have to use the regular @import functionality of Less/Sass to do those imports.

Can you find the file that contains the border-top-radius method? It should be defined somewhere in one of those files and then when you find the file, you'll want to put that require at the top and just make sure it's included before any of the files that would be using it. I think that should do the trick for you.

Interesting. Let's see if I'm understanding this right, are you looking to compare two WeeklyPerformanceReview objects?

Awesome! Glad that worked. :D

Also just found some notes on their recommendation of which version to use: https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks#should-i-use-turbolinks-5-or-turbolinks-classic

I think you'll be fine using either one. I've been meaning to upgrade GoRails' Turbolinks to 5.0 but just haven't had the time yet. I'll have to do a screencast on that.

My guess is that 5.0 is okay to use, but they still haven't released some features like the iOS and Android wrappers for it which were the main purpose for 5.0. Feel free to use it though as it should also have a progress bar and will be the version that you'd need to use in the future.

I believe the main change between 2.5 and 3.0 was the addition of the partial replacement stuff. Shouldn't cause any issues when upgrading, but just note that the partial replacement functionality is getting removed in 5.0. They realized that it adds a lot of complexity for very marginal benefit and decided to remove it to keep things simple.

The video on LiveCoding.tv was mostly just exploring the partial replacements in Turbolinks classic, but since that's getting removed, it probably won't be too helpful. It sucks that their player doesn't work! I had trouble with it too and was disappointed with the site.

Hey Thomas,

This is a good question. The basic trouble (if I'm understanding correctly) is that when you delete the file, you're re-rendering the partial but there is no UploadImage for that new element that you rendered.

I think you're correct in that you should be doing a new UploadImage(elem) in the destroy.js. My guess is that class isn't accessible globally, causing that line of code to fail. One of the issues with the JS response from a remote call is that it often hides the errors that happen, so it's harder to debug.

If it actually is that the UploadImage class isn't globally accessible, then you should need to simply change the class UploadImage to class @UploadImage to make that globally available.

Give that a shot and see if that works for you!

Also this is an okay solution for debugging that JS that you return: https://www.alfajango.com/blog/rails-js-erb-remote-response-not-executing/ You basically inspect the response in Chrome, run the JS manually in the console, and fix the errors. Not ideal, but hey, it works.

Exactly. Add a new server block to the nginx config, setup your new database, deploy your other app, and voila! Should be all you need to do.

Hey Jacob! That's a really good question.

I don't know a whole bunch about VAT, but it sounds relatively easy so long as you're collecting this information at the time of checkout. It sounds like you might want to simply collect their country and then store a hash somewhere that contains all the VAT information for the country. When the user types in their country, you can match it against that hash (or records in the database if you want to update them there), and then you could charge the appropriate VAT.

This is a bit outdated, but may not take too much work getting back up and functional. It looks like it can tell you if you need to charge VAT which is nifty. It basically just stores an array of the countries and checks against that.

Is VAT a standard rate for all transactions regardless of country? Sadly I don't know very much about it at all.

Oh that's a good idea. The only really reliable way verify they shared would be to make the post through your app. Would you be good with having the users connect their Twitter and Facebook accounts with OAuth for that?

Roughly the first line tells Passenger to group app the websocket connections together for this app (in case you had multiple websockets apps on the same server) and the second line is saying that you can have an unlimited number of clients connect through websockets.
