How to integrate Comatose CMS in your rails application.

Comatose CMS Yet another Micro CMS, when your client may use to create and edit easily a static pages like privacy policy, terms & conditions, an FAQ, that kind of thing.

Installation of Camotose.
$ ./script/plugin install git://github.com/darthapo/comatose.git
$ ./script/generate comatose_migration
$ rake db:migrate

Once the above mentioned command is executed then configure your route file, at the bottom of your route file paste the below mention syntax

map.comatose_root ''

That it now you to access the Camotose simply type
http://localhost:3000/comatose_admin

You can configure you comatose on your config/environment.rb file, but i'll suggest you to create a comatose.rb inside your config/initializers folder, and insert the following code.

Comatose.configure do |config|
config.admin_title = 'YOUR site name CMS SYSTEM' # it cab anything...
config.admin_helpers = []
config.admin_sub_title = 'Administration Pages'
config.content_type = 'utf-8'
config.default_filter = ''
#config.default_processor = :liquid
config.default_tree_level = 3
config.disable_caching = false
config.hidden_meta_fields = 'filter'
config.helpers = []
config.includes = []
# These are 'blockable' settings
config.authorization = Proc.new { true }
config.admin_get_author = Proc.new { request.env['REMOTE_ADDR'] }
config.after_setup = Proc.new { true }

# Includes AuthenticationSystem in the ComatoseAdminController
config.admin_includes << :authenticated_system

# Calls :login_required as a before_filter
config.admin_authorization = :login_required

end

Insert HTML Tag Using Javascript...

The below mention function will be use to insert a div tag along with input field, button when a user clicks on hyper link. Button will be used to hide the selected div. A user can create max 5 div.


function attachFile(id)
{
var count = new Array("1","2","3","4","5")
var hiddenCount = document.getElementById("Cnt").value;
var Comman = 1;


for(var j=1;j<=count.length;j++)
{
if (id == 'remove_' + j)
{
document.getElementById('div_' + j).style.display = "none";
return
}
}
Comman = parseInt(hiddenCount) + Comman;
if (Comman <= 5)
{
var varTag1 = document.createElement("INPUT");
// var varTagRemove = newElement("input",{type:"button",name:"Remove",id:"remove_"+Comman,value:"1"},{onclick:attachFile(this.id)});
var varTagRemove = document.createElement("INPUT");
varTagRemove.type="button";
varTagRemove.value = "Remove";
varTagRemove.id = "remove_"+Comman;
varTag1.type = "file";
varTag1.id = "file_"+Comman;;
var x = document.all;
var br = "br"
if(x)
br = "
"
var varTag2 = document.createElement(br);

document.getElementById("div_" + Comman).appendChild(varTag1);
document.getElementById("div_" + Comman).appendChild(varTagRemove);
document.getElementById("div_" + Comman).appendChild(varTag2);
var rm_test = document.getElementById("remove_" + Comman);
rm_test.onclick = function(){attachFile(this.id)};
document.getElementById('Cnt').value = Comman;

}
else
{
for (var i = 1; i <= count.length; i++)
{
if (document.getElementById("div_" + i).style.display == "none")
{
document.getElementById("div_" + i).style.display = "block";
return
}
}
//ALERT WILL BE CALLED WHEN THE COUNT OF FILE UPLOADER IS 5 AND ALL THE DIV DISPLAY PROPERTY IS
// BLOCK
alert("Limit is over");
}
}

Ruby: How "send" method works?

Invokes the method identified by symbol, passing it any arguments specified. You can use __send__ if the name send clashes with an existing method in obj.
For example.
Suppose that in you have a three different parameter
1.addnum
2.subnum
3.multinum

depends on the parameter you want to call the method to execute add/subtract/multiply. So what you can do

class Number

def mainfunction(methodname, val1, val2)
#THE BELOW MENTION SEND METHOD WILL CALL ANY ONE METHOD #DEPENDS ON THE FIRST PARAMETER
self.send(methodname, val1, val2)
end

def addnum(val1, val2)
val1 + val2
end

def subnum(val1, val2)
val1 + val2
end

def multinum(val1, val2)
val1 + val2
end
end

num = Number.new
num.mainfunction(“addnum”, 10 , 20) #output => 30

So this is just a very basic example to understand hoe send method work.

How to enable grant access to remote system for MySQL server?

In a few step you can allow remote system to access your MySQL server. To implement first you will need to configure your my.cnf which which is located at

/etc/mysql/my.cnf [Debian Linux Environment]
OR
/etc/my.cnf [Red Hat Linux/Fedora/Centos Linux]
OR
/var/db/mysql/my.cnf [FreeBSD]

access the file using

sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

check for following line
bind-address in which the local ip address is assigned 127.0.0.1
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
So just replace the local ip address with your server ip address e.g. 192.168.XXX.XXX
bind-address = 192.168.XXX.XXX

Thats it now all you need to restart your MySQL server and assign a grant access to remote system.

To restart MySQL server
etc/init.d/mysql restart

To assigned a grant access
GRANT ALL ON user_database_name.* TO remote_user_name@'192.168.x.x' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

Thats it and it is done.. Now
the remote user can access your db..
