Rails SMTP email setup

I am using rails 3.2.6.

To setup SMTP email using ruby:

1. Add the following code into the /config/environment.rb

require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)

# Initialize the rails application AppName::Application.initialize!

ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.host.com",
:port => 587,
:user_name => "email host",
:password => "email password hot",
:authentication => :plain,
:enable_starttls_auto => "true"
}

ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true

2. Create /app/mailers/appnamemailers.rb with the following content
class Appnamemailers < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "email@hostemail.comd"


def welcome_email()
@url = "http://www.example.com"
mail(:to => "test@gmail.com", :subject => "Welcome to rails app")
end
end
2. To test run rails console
3. Execute the command Appnamemailers.welcome_email().deliver

rails script generate heroku

The article in this page

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/smtp

mentions about running a ./script/generate mailer <name>.

For my Rails 3.2.6 version, it does not contain the generate script file. So instead run with this command

rails generate mailer <name>

Changes to 64-bit applications are not allowed

Edit and continue

Changes to 64-bit applications are not allowed.

I am using VS 2010 and apparently the issue is because I was still running the program in debug mode which VS does not allow us to modify or edit. The "Changes to 64-bit applications are now allowed." error message is not that clear. To fix the issue, just stop the debugging that is currently running.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in

I recently get the following error in PHP:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in .... line 109

apparently it is because I created a variable with "-" in it.

To resolve the issue, I rename the variable from "$cart-content" to "$cart_content"

PHP iterating all cookies

To iterate all of the cookies that have been set in PHP:

foreach ($_COOKIE as $cookie_name => $cookie_value)
{
 echo "$cookie_name with value $cookie_value";
 }

JQUERY Cookie TypeError

Error:

TypeError: Object function (a,b){return new p.fn.init(a,b,c)} has no method 'cookie'

The error is simply because, the jquery cookie file has not been added.

 To add just download the jquery.cookie.js at github

 Then add the jquery.cookie.js

<script src="./jquery.cookie.js"></script>

No horizontal scroll bar in Firefox

Firefox seems to have a bug in displaying the horizontal scrollbar for a certain CSS. To force it to display scrollbar when needed just use this css

html {
  overflow-x: auto;
}

Heroku stack does not use the asset pipeline

My rails apps hosted in heroku does not use the asset pipeline. When I do the git push heroku master, I get the following message

-----> Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
       Detected manifest.yml, assuming assets were compiled locally

To solve this delete the public/assets directory so that rails does not use the static assets anymore
