a noob working the ruby railroad.

some new plugins to report.

June 11th, 2007

all your rails app definitely should use plugin exception notifier. its a very nice plugin to let you know when ever your rails app gets bombed. right now, i have it set up to send an email to my gmail account, which my samsung blackjack downloads every hour. so now i can really know when something goes bad within an hrs time.

another cool plugin i found was the lightbox helper posted over on agilewebdevelopment.com. Basically it makes using the lightbox functionality real simple to use in your views. i highly recommend it.

next plugin i found that is nice is busy ajax. this plugin puts the typical busy firefox spinner thingy next to your cursur when any ajax requests are being proformed.

    I really don't like that busy ajax plugin, I feel like its very annoying to the user. I do like Exception notifier and the lightbox helper. Neat blog, bookmarked!

    No links to these plugins you mention? Particularly the spinner that Riot does not like.
