Real quick they were 1. Create config/qa.rb 1. Give it the setting that you want. Probably very similar to the production. 2. Modify environment.rb 1. If you don't have control over the environment which which the host provider starts mongrel and he thus starts it in production mode, you will need to discern from the deployment directory whether to override the environment with qa as follows: fullpath = File.expand_path(__FILE__,RAILS_ROOT) if RAILS_ENV == 'production' and fullpath =~ /qa\.\.com/ ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'qa' RAILS_ENV = 'qa' end 3. Modify config/deploy.rb 1. Ask the deployer which environment and then use the response to assign other variables as follows: set(:env_mapping, { "production" => "www", "qa" => "qa" }) set(:rails_env, CLI.ui.ask("Please enter rails environment (production or qa): ")) set(:subdomain, env_mapping[rails_env]) set :deploy_to, "/home/nkirby/#{subdomain}..com" 4. Modify config/database.xml 1. Add a new section as follows: qa: adapter: postgresql database: composeityourself_qa username: ciy_qa password: host: db.hostdomain.com LMK if you have more questions.

Uger is also used by CJUG and I am trying to keep it generic. I want to keep things simple for the users, so I may not add a captcha at all. I have a few rules in mind that should detect most spam entries, such as RSVP after the event finished, accounts with only one RSVP, or login that doesn't look like an email address. Those rules should be sufficient in keeping spam out of the listing (these may be famous last words...).

We have started trying to use it for a pilot project. One thing we have found is that on a rails project, if RSpec is in /vendor/plugins/... the pre-existing tests using Test::Unit silently omit failure and seem to succeed even if they actually failed. Is this the correct desired behavior? Is it a defect? Are we misconfigured (or misconventioned :) in some way? Please help us. Another idea someone was to be able to include executing units (or model specs) relating to a Story into the story so all the support for a story could be verified at once. Is there any movement toward this ideal?
