[Refinery][1] looks really simple but I don&#39;t have an in depth comparison to WordPress.  Looks like it has a lot less features but likely easier to maintain and extend upon.  It&#39;s pretty standard to write really crappy code in the WordPress community.

I&#39;ve been using WordPress &lt;strike&gt;more or less against my will&lt;/strike&gt; for about &lt;strike&gt;two&lt;/strike&gt; four years now (&lt;strike&gt;since I started using other frameworks&lt;/strike&gt; (I&#39;ve started to really love WP again)). I think there is no &quot;good Rails alternative&quot;. Of course there are a lot of blog engines but none have as many plugins available or are as well known with clients. Let&#39;s be honest, WP has a fantastic front-end, clients seem to like that. The reason &quot;we developers&quot; look for Rails alternatives is obviously because Rails developer aren&#39;t comfortable with WP. But there&#39;s no platform out there that has the same out-of-the-box completeness and user friendliness as WP. For blog-like purposes that is of course.

[Publify](https://publify.github.io) can be a answer, but I&#39;m not able to compare with WordPress.

You may want to look into [Wordscript](https://github.com/redcap3000/Wordscript) ; it includes API&#39;s written in Ruby and PHP that connects to existing WordPress databases and returns json structures (made from generated SQL). 

Useful if you want to keep full administrative features of WordPress, and have a somewhat simple WordPress site. Neither version requires WordPress to be installed locally, but you can&#39;t really do anything administrative with the api or comments/custom fields (yet). Also the API is much faster and consumes a fraction of the resources WordPress would.

I was testing some DB entries in our production server in Rails Console where almost all the commands were producing a huge number of lines of output and causing the ssh channel to hang.

Is there a way to suppress the console/irb screenfuls?

Is there a better way to get file basename and extension than something like

    File f = ...
    String name = f.getName();
    int dot = name.lastIndexOf(&#39;.&#39;);
    String base = (dot == -1) ? name : name.substring(0, dot);
    String extension = (dot == -1) ? &quot;&quot; : name.substring(dot+1);

I want to rename a table... (any table.)

I tried this line of code:

    ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements.rename_table(old_name, new_name)


Here&#39;s the weird thing.  I know I got it working the first time, but now I get this error: undefined method `rename_table&#39; for ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements:Module

Was there something I need to set?


Renaming table in rails

I&#39;m on Rails 2.3.3, and I need to make a link that sends a post request.

I have one that looks like this:

    = link_to(&#39;Resend Email&#39;, 
      {:controller =&gt; &#39;account&#39;, :action =&gt; &#39;resend_confirm_email&#39;}, 
      {:method =&gt; :post} )

Which makes the appropriate JavaScript behavior on the link:

    &lt;a href=&quot;/account/resend_confirm_email&quot; 
      onclick=&quot;var f = document.createElement(&#39;form&#39;); 
      f.style.display = &#39;none&#39;; 
      this.parentNode.appendChild(f); 
      f.method = &#39;POST&#39;; 
      f.action = this.href;
      var s = document.createElement(&#39;input&#39;); 
      s.setAttribute(&#39;type&#39;, &#39;hidden&#39;); 
      s.setAttribute(&#39;name&#39;, &#39;authenticity_token&#39;); 
      s.setAttribute(&#39;value&#39;, &#39;EL9GYgLL6kdT/eIAzBritmB2OVZEXGRytPv3lcCdGhs=&#39;);
      f.appendChild(s);
      f.submit();
      return false;&quot;&gt;Resend Email&lt;/a&gt;&#39;

My controller action is working, and set to render nothing:

    respond_to do |format|
      format.all { render :nothing =&gt; true, :status =&gt; 200 }
    end

But when I click the link, my browser downloads an empty text file named &quot;resend_confirm_email.&quot;

What gives?

&quot;render :nothing =&gt; true&quot; returns empty plaintext file?

I am converting a Rails 2 application to Rails 3. I currently have a controller set up like the following:

    class Api::RegionsController &lt; ApplicationController
      respond_to :xml, :json
    end

with and an action that looks like the following:

    def index
      @regions = Region.all

      respond_with @regions  
    end

The implementation is pretty straightforward, api/regions, api/regions.xml and api/regions.json all respond as you would expect. The problem is that I want api/regions by default to respond via XML. I have consumers that expect an XML response and I would hate to have them change all their URLs to include .xml unless absolutely necessary. 

In Rails 2 you would accomplish that by doing this:

    respond_to do |format|
      format.xml { render :xml =&gt; @region.to_xml }
      format.json { render :json =&gt; @region.to_json }
    end

But in Rails 3 I cannot find a way to default it to an XML response. Any ideas?

How to get the previous URL in Rails? Not the URL that you got a request from, but the one before that?

I tried doing something like

How do I do that in Rails 3?


How to add 10 days to current time in Rails

I am writing a Ruby script for use in the Rails environment, but I chose to run it from irb because reloading the Rails console can be a pain. Now the wait time is much shorter from irb, but I&#39;m bothered that I have to restart irb and require the script everytime I make a change. Is there a simpler way of reloading a script from irb? 

I found a method in [this thread][1], but that only applies to gem files apparently. My require statement looks like this

     require &quot;#{File.expand_path(__FILE__)}/../lib/query&quot;


EDIT: Having tried `load` rather than `require`, I still couldn&#39;t get it to work. I can&#39;t get a stop on these errors.

What is the super for in this code?

    def initialize options = {}, &amp;block
      @filter = options.delete(:filter) || 1

As far as I know it&#39;s like calling the function recursively, right?

Can anyone explain the difference between accessing an instance attribute via `self.attribute` and by `@attribute`?


Directly accessing an instance variable vs. Using an accessor method

Forgive the beginner question, but say I have an array:

    a = [1,2,3]

And a function somewhere; let&#39;s say it&#39;s an instance function:

    class Ilike
      def turtles(*args)
        puts args.inspect
      end
    end

How do I invoke `Ilike.turtles` with `a` as if I were calling `(Ilike.new).turtles(1,2,3)`.

I&#39;m familiar with `send`, but this doesn&#39;t seem to translate an array into an argument list.

A parallel of what I&#39;m looking for is the Javascript `apply`, which is equivalent to `call` but converts the array into an argument list.

Given an array of arguments, how do I send those arguments to a particular function in Ruby?

I understand the concept of `some_instance.send` but I&#39;m trying to figure out why you can call this both ways. The Ruby Koans imply that there is some reason beyond providing lots of different ways to do the same thing. Here are the two examples of usage:

    class Foo
      def bar?
        true
      end
    end

    foo = Foo.new
    foo.send(:bar?)
    foo.__send__(:bar?)

Anyone have any idea about this?

Ruby send vs __send__

What PHP code can be used to retrieve the current page name in a WordPress theme?

All the solutions I have seen so far:  
* `the_title()`  
* `get_page()-&gt;post_name`  
* `get_post()`  
* etc.  

But these don&#39;t work for a page that contains post entries. They will all return the name of the latest blog entry.

Stated another way, assume that you have a page created in WordPress with the name &quot;My News&quot;. This page is set as the &quot;post page&quot;. Add a couple of posts to the page.
Now, what API can be used to retrieve the string &quot;my-news&quot; instead of the name of the latest post?

&lt;hr/&gt;

I&#39;ve found the following variable which seems to work.

    $wp_query-&gt;queried_object-&gt;post_name

This is actually the URL friendly version of the page name (slug), which is what I was looking for too. This was tested with the default template ([Twenty&amp;nbsp;Ten][1]). I&#39;m really not sure why the two variables given below do not work on my site. Thanks to [*keatch* for the `print_r()` tip][2].

Now, why is this information hidden so deep down?

Is there a way to change the child `&lt;ul class=&quot;sub-menu&quot;&gt;` generated by WordPress itself to a custom class name?

I know the parent `&lt;ul&gt;` you can remove or change the name with `&#39;menu_class&#39; =&gt; &#39;newname&#39;`.


I couldn&#39;t find the answer. Itried `&#39;submenu_class&#39; =&gt; &#39;customname&#39;`. It seems logic to me, but obviously that is no the right one.


any ideas?

I need to find the latest post for each author and then group the results so I only a single latest post for each author.


    SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts
			WHERE wp_posts.post_status=&#39;publish&#39;
			AND wp_posts.post_type=&#39;post&#39;
			GROUP BY wp_posts.post_author			
			ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC


This is correctly grouping the output so I only get one post per author, but it is ordering the results after they have been grouped and not before they have been selected.

All of a sudden I go to my WordPress website and all the pages give me a 404 page not found page. I&#39;m assuming the problem lies with the permalink structure, which I could swear I did not touch. The permalink setting is on &quot;month and name.&quot;

I&#39;ve researched similar instances of this problem online and a lot of it has to do with the `.htaccess` file? I tried finding, but I can&#39;t. Perhaps it got deleted somehow? Where is it supposed to be located.

Any suggestions will be helpful

and of course I can see hidden files.

WordPress is giving me 404 page not found for all pages except the homepage

I added custom script: 

    wp_enqueue_script(&#39;functions&#39;, get_bloginfo(&#39;template_url&#39;) . &#39;/js/functions.js&#39;, &#39;search&#39;, null, false);

It works great, except in the `functions.js` I have:

    Reset.style.background = &quot;url(&#39;../images/searchfield_clear.png&#39;) no-repeat top left&quot;;

This used to work before, until I changed to pretty permalinks and .htaccess

The folder hierarchy is like:

&gt; `themename/js themename/images` (the images and js folder are in themename folder)

I tried ../images - ./image - /images 

Normally it should go back 1 level wherever the js file is located....

I don&#39;t want to use full path.

Is there another way that WordPress can recognize in the javascript file to have the correct path?

Currently I am just confused what I am doing wrong.

I am using Hotaru CMS with the Image Upload plugin, I get this error if I try to attach an image to a post, otherwise there is no error:

The offending code (error points to line with **):

I currently have an AngularJS application with routing built in.
It works and everything is ok.

My app.js file looks like this:

    angular.module(&#39;myapp&#39;, [&#39;myapp.filters&#39;, &#39;myapp.services&#39;, &#39;myapp.directives&#39;]).
      config([&#39;$routeProvider&#39;, function ($routeProvider) {
          $routeProvider.when(&#39;/&#39;, { templateUrl: &#39;/pages/home.html&#39;, controller: HomeController });
          $routeProvider.when(&#39;/about&#39;, { templateUrl: &#39;/pages/about.html&#39;, controller: AboutController });
          $routeProvider.when(&#39;/privacy&#39;, { templateUrl: &#39;/pages/privacy.html&#39;, controller: AboutController });
          $routeProvider.when(&#39;/terms&#39;, { templateUrl: &#39;/pages/terms.html&#39;, controller: AboutController });
          $routeProvider.otherwise({ redirectTo: &#39;/&#39; });
      }]);

My app has a CMS built in where you can copy and add new html files within the **/pages** directory.

I would like to still go through the routing provider though even for the new dynamically added files.

In an ideal world the routing pattern would be:

$routeProvider.when(&#39;/**pagename**&#39;, { templateUrl: &#39;/pages/**pagename**.html&#39;, controller: CMSController });

So if my new page name was &quot;contact.html&quot; I would like angular to pick up &quot;/contact&quot; and redirect to &quot;/pages/contact.html&quot;.

Is this even possible?! and if so how?!

**Update**

I now have this in my routing config:

    $routeProvider.when(&#39;/page/:name&#39;, { templateUrl: &#39;/pages/home.html&#39;, controller: CMSController })

and in my CMSController:

    function CMSController($scope, $route, $routeParams) {
        $route.current.templateUrl = &#39;/pages/&#39; + $routeParams.name + &quot;.html&quot;;
        alert($route.current.templateUrl);
    }
    CMSController.$inject = [&#39;$scope&#39;, &#39;$route&#39;, &#39;$routeParams&#39;];

This sets the current templateUrl to the right value.

*However* I would now like to change the *ng-view* with the new templateUrl value. How is this accomplished?

I am new in WordPress and I came from Joomla. How can I (if I can do it...) organize the uploaded media into folder and subfolder using WordPress?

If I go in my backend administration panel I have the **Media** sub panel in which I can add a file (for example a jpg image). The problem is that all the files are added in the same library.

I want to organize my library having subcategory\subfolder in which the uploaded file are placed.

For example I want have category image for: &quot;Spring articles images&quot; and &quot;project management articles image&quot;, etc.

How can do it?

Can anyone suggest a good open source cms for java? I have not used any java cms but I have used wordpress. Looking around google I have short listed openCMS, dotCMS and Liferay. Has anyone used these? which one of these would be a &quot;good&quot; CMS. It would be good if it has good documentations and online community... it can be integrated with other java tech e.g. frameworks like spring framework... simple to learn...

I just don&#39;t want to spend time on one and then realise there is a better option out there...

it would be good to get others view on this....

thanks in advance...
