Actual progress

• 20100514 - Fiddle with BigOldRailsTemplate. Decide to cherry-pick from the things it uses, but not bother with it per se.
• 20100517
  • Get caught up in irrelevant details. I should be writing forms, but I want to make them look non-arse before I get going.
  • Settle on using Compass/Blueprint. Would be good to use Haml.. but I actually want to do this in a hurry.
  • Decide to use Haml anyway. Find a sample application.haml layout file.
  • Decide that Compass doesn't really get me anywhere
  • Start making event submission form. Fiddle around with FlagShihTzu for fields where there are lots of boolean options - settle on has_many :through as this makes the Web form incredibly easy to produce. Will never need to sort on these fields, but who cares.
  • Get to grips with Haml, somewhat - decide that it's good mainly for tables, which are awful to code manually in HTML.
  • Style forms with formtastic-sass - but this only works with Blueprint, not Compass+Blueprint.
  • Figure out how Compass styles forms. Compass documentation is non-existent.
• 20100519
  • Get bogged down in trying to add UJS and JQuery hints to forms inputs. Give up for now.
  • Debug form boolean value validation problem - fixed using validates_inclusion_of :field_name, :in => [true, false]
  • Need to sort out user authentication. Install Authlogic. Use roles code from bort.
  • Add more fields to the form. Finish up with a non-working seralising frequency field.
• 20100520
  • Fix JQuery - was including the wrong JS file.
  • Finish implementing a working event submission thing, complete with file uploads and bits of the form that appear and disappear depending on the user's status
  • Implement admin editing/moderation of newly submitted events
  • Simple display of events on the front page, not in any sort of order yet.
  • Implement will_paginate - that was easy!
  • Implement acts_as_taggable_on_steroids - looks like I've already done this.
  • Implement jQuery Tag Suggest Plugin, or something else, after a whole lot of fiddling.
  • Start implementing business model
• 20100521
  • CSS cleanup in forms - looking much nicer now
  • Realise that acts_as_taggable_on_steroids only supports a single tag pool. Switch to its for, acts_as_taggable_on
  • FInish business model
  • Separate tags
  • Gravatar support for users
  • User page now shows own events and businesses
