See the export icons in the bottom right of the projects and dashboard page.</li> <li>A mini system message board. So we can leave you a message, i.e. for planned system maintenance downtime, or to announce new functionality.</li> <li>The latest version of the <a href="http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff">Gruff Graphs</a></li> </ul> <p>I realized that data export needs some more work as in Safari the xml doesn&#8217;t appear unless you do a view source and the csv doesn&#8217;t load Microsoft Excel directly nor adds a default .csv extension to the generated data.</p> <p>We will deploy new functionality or fixes issues once a week if possible. Note that we are going to keep this application simple, but any suggestion is welcome. Contact us at <a href="mailto:time@onrails.org">time@onrails.org</a>.</p> I deployed the application using Capistrano. It is pretty stressless and consists of the following steps: <pre> rake remote:disable_web rake remote:deploy_with_migrations rake remote:enable_web </pre> <p>In this case we had a database migration, the new &#8216;messages&#8217; table.</p> <p>The only issue that persists is that the application doesn&#8217;t start right away after the deployment and seems to hang for about 10 minutes before comming back to life. The application is hosted on Dreamhost and we don&#8217;t have full control on how the displatch.fcgi processes are launched.</p> <p>It&#8217;s now up and running, so enjoy!</p> Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:50:00 +0000 urn:uuid:94efa3c4-8d00-4ab2-a3ab-753b80eda525 Daniel Wanja http://onrails.org/articles/2006/04/19/update-time-onrails-org-capistrano-rocks Time.OnRails.org Capistrano
