Add this to your header:

<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ />

Just a quick ref. If you have a string that matches a class name in your app, you can use that string to interact with that model. Here’s how:

string = “User”

string.constantize OR Kernel.const_get(string) – the former only works in rails (as it’s part of ActiveSupport::Inflector)

I noticed a few oddities with heroku and run rake db:migrate. Here are a few things i did to get it working:

* I moved to the Cedar stack. Without this, I struggled to get rake db:migrate to work

heroku create --stack cedar

* I now face the issue that heroku is reporting “no such file to load — pg”. Can’t install that locally as Lion’s screwed up my ruby header files so gem fails to install. Bored, so will leave this for now. Will report back as i find a solution, and the will to dig.

Update 21st April 2012:

The “old way” detailed below failed to install all dependencies on later versions of OS X. So, here’s the best way to install ImageMagick on OS X:

Head over to https://github.com/maddox/magick-installer and follow the instructions

The old way:

cd ~/src #or whereever
git clone git://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl.git
cd ImageMagick-sl
sh install_im.sh

At one point, it runs a command using sudo, so it will ask for your password. After the script has finished, ImageMagick will be installed. Now, to install the RMagick gem…

sudo gem install rmagick
