README

This is the code for the website at bmoreonrails.org. If you'd like to help out, make a change, add a feature then come to a B'more on Rails hack night!

Setup

• Install ruby 2.0
• bundle install
• touch config/database.yml
• Add the code below to your database.yml

  development:
  adapter:  postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  host:     localhost
  database: bmoreonrails_development

• rake db:create db:migrate
• success!

Adding yourself as a B'more on Rails member

The member list is in config/members.yml. To add yourself to the list, append a new entry in the following format:

-
  name:        'Your name'
  github_name: 'your_github_handle'
  twitter:     'your_twitter_handle'
  avatar_file: 'your_avatar.jpg'

The avatar_file field is a 200x200-pixel picture of you. If you have ImageMagick installed, you can find a command to resize your image in the "Convert member images to square thumbnails" section at the bottom of this README.

It needs to be in the app/assets/images/members directory to be displayed.

Deployment instructions

The site is deployed to Heroku, contact a B'more on Rails organizer to be added as a collaborator to the heroku app.

Notes

Convert member images to square thumbnails

This command requires that you have ImageMagick installed on your machine. If you are on OS X and you have Homebrew installed, you can run brew install imagemagick to install ImageMagick to get this command. On Linux, you can install it with your distribution's package manager.

for f in `ls -1 *.jpeg`; do convert -define jpeg:size=200x200 $f -thumbnail 200x200^ -gravity center -extent 200x200 app/assets/images/members/$f ; done

To resize one image:

convert -define jpeg:size=200x200 original_avatar.jpg -thumbnail 200x200^ -gravity center -extent 200x200  your_avatar.jpg
