Hmm, sounds like you've got everything correct! I have used the exact same setup before and it works fine. I'll have to think on it and see what comes to mind.

It's possible that Refile just isn't able to find the executable for imagemagick. It's looking for the "identify" command so you'll want to make sure that's in one of the folders in the PATH for the same user that Nginx is running as. I'd poke around at that and see if you can figure out why it might not be able to find the identify executable. If you installed imagemagick with apt-get then it should be available, but if you compiled it or something else, then it's probably just not in the PATH.

Since Searchkick is a whole separate process, it won't know about your Rails stuff. What I would say is if you write a helper method or class you can have it apply that scope to the options you pass in so that it always searches the same default scope.

Marek, this would be a killer series to make. I would love to do it. So far, I've been using Turbolinks 5 for a few things but of course have also gotten caught by some of the gotchas so I still need to figure out some solutions to various things so I have a good idea of what all the gotchas are and what decent solutions should be.

Maybe we can use this thread to start keeping a list of topics to cover!

To start:
One of my biggest issues with Turbolinks has been that Chrome doesn't respect clearing the cache on a login of a page. So GoRails for example, I used to use root as the homepage, you would login, and I would replace root's contents with your dashboard. Chrome has a bug in it where it doesn't clear the cache for root until you do an actual browser refresh. The solution I had was to move your dashboard to /dashboard to avoid the cache problems there.

I'm not sure I would use ActionCable for uploading files. I would probably just send them like normal using AJAX.

Hey Mel! Just recorded this and wanted to share it with ya so you could watch it before I officially publish it. https://excid3.wistia.com/medias/9bst8e6py7

Let me know if this helps! I tried to explain all the aspects of SMTP and stuff to hopefully give a deeper explanation of all the things going on for it, so hopefully it makes things easier to understand!

Hey Mel, I've got a project that I need to add Sendgrid to today, so I'm going to make a video on it for you. :)

I think one thing you ran into was that there are a couple ways to talk to Sendgrid. One is the SMTP connection which was what I linked (and the one you'll actually want to use) but then there's the sendgrid API which is not what you want to use, but that's where the gems come from. Two separate things that are never clearly explained the differences about.

I'll be doing a video on SMTP and I'll go into depth to explain how that all works for ya.

Unfortunately for a lot of the earlier episodes I don't have the source code anymore because they were on my old laptop. :( Anything that does have code up there right now is what I've got.

What a familiar face. 👋

Good catch, I hadn't run into that but I could see that happening somehow.

Hey Sacha,

For those, you actually want to querying using IN so that SQL can look for matches in an array of IDs. For example:

brand_ids = [1,2,3] # These IDs may come from your form params from a multi-select
Order.where(brand_id: brands)
# SELECT "orders".* FROM "orders" WHERE "orders"."brand_id" IN (1, 2, 3)

And remember you can chain your where calls to make it cleaner:

Order.where("created_at between (?) and (?)", self.start, self.end).where(brand: self.brand,  team: self.team)

That'd do it, glad you got it fixed. 🙌

Hey Drazen,

Handful of different ways to do this. If you know which channels the user is joined to server-side, you can just loop through them and then stream_from for each channel. That will setup several redis pubsub connections so you will receive all the messages across those channels.

I'm not entirely sure on that one. I imagine you could write the same value in and then save without callbacks in your seeds in order to populate but not trigger Refile to do a reupload?

Ah ha! I was going to suggest that because I couldn't imagine why everything else was working just fine. Hate when things fail silently like that.

You'll want to modify your authentication code to lookup the current tenant and then scope the User lookup query to only ones for that domain that way only users of that tenant can access that tenant.

Are there errors on the page model after save? If you load it fresh out of the database, does the image attribute exist?

I think its mostly just not taken off due to habit. We've had position arguments and then optional hashes which are pretty much keyword arguments so it's not a big change, but it's definitely a nice one.

It's probably a good habit to start using them where they make sense from now on. I'll probably just keep forgetting to do it though. :)

Hey Earl,

What I would do is create an activity model, so you would keep track of the views, discussions, etc in a table, and then you can query for those within the last 24 hours and then count them up to determine which were the most active topics. You can query for the different types of activities and weigh some of those more than others (like comments might be more valuable than likes or something).

Does that make sense?

Here's a good article on how you could move that stuff into Postgres as a function: http://sorentwo.com/2013/12/30/let-postgres-do-the-work.html

I should definitely do a screencast on this stuff.

Hey Andrew, did you get this one figured out?

I know the feeling all too well. :)
