So far this current week, I've been busy working away at my Pinteresting app in One Month Rails. I've done a ton in the past two days to get it finished!
- Utilized the jQuery Masonry gem so that images move around (with transitions) to fit the page width. Oh... did I mention that since I built it with bootstrap, it will look great on tablets and mobile devices? ;-)
- Updated styling for displaying single pins on a page.
- Added Edit, Delete, and Back icon using bootstrap's Glyphicons.
- Changed up the root route so that all pins are displayed on homepage.
- Updated pins controller to change how the pins are ordered.
- Added pagination using will_paginate gem and limited number of pins displayed on a page to 8.
- Added user names and subsequent validations.
- Yay!
I started it less than 2 weeks ago and I can't believe that I've finished it. I've learned a lot and can't wait to start the next RoR project
Of course, the Pinteresting app didn't always go smoothly and I used google and stack overflow to troubleshoot and fix problems. My last issue was relating to a precompiling issue in my production environment. After I finished the build today, I went back and jazzed up the css styling. I added a background image to the jumbotron on the main page. It was looking fine in development on my local host, but in production on heroku, it wasn't showing up and was giving a 404 not found error for the image. I looked on stack overflow and found that others have had this issue too! I followed some advice and it works now!
So freaking proud of myself!
