A nice delete confirmation modal in Rails courtesy of Bootstrap

Here's what you get.

Some JavaScript

// Delete confirmation modals
$('#delete-confirm').on('show', function() {
  var $submit = $(this).find('.btn-danger'),
      href = $submit.attr('href');
  $submit.attr('href', href.replace('pony', $(this).data('id')));

Get Bootstrap's fancy Glyphicons working in Rails

Well, to get Bootstrap working, first install [Less Rails Bootstrap][lrb].

Then create a button with a [fancy icon][fi] like so:

<%= link_to raw('<i class="icon-trash icon-white"></i>'), card, confirm: 'Are you sure?', method: :delete, :class => 'btn btn-danger' %>

Note that you have to link to raw to get it to not escape the HTML.

Illustrates GEM_HOME vs GEM_PATH
# Two ENV variables control the 'gem' command:
#
# GEM_HOME: the single path to a gem dir where gems are installed
# GEM_PATH: a standard PATH to gem dirs where gems are found
#
# A gem directory is a directory that holds gems. The 'gem' command will lay
# out and utilize the following structure:
#
# bin # installed bin scripts
# cache # .gem files ex: cache/gem_name.gem

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
