Dynamic Robots.txt file in Rails

robots.txt file controls what pages of your allplications gets crawled by the serach engine bots. As part of robots.txt file we can allow or disallow single pages or directories within the application.

robots.txt file lives in the root folder of your application. A simple, static solution in Rails would be, to put a robots.txt file into you /public folder in your rails app but then you can't dynamically set the content of this file.

If you want a different file for staging and production server or want some dynamic routes in your robots.txt, then you need to generate this file with rails. Make sure you remove/rename robots.txt from /public folder.

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;

Make /robots.txt aware of the Rails environment

Make /robots.txt aware of the Rails environment

You probably don't want Google crawling your development staging app. Here's how to fix that.

$ mv public/robots.txt config/robots.production.txt
$ cp config/robots.production.txt config/robots.development.txt

Now edit config/routes.rb to add a route for /robots.txt, and add the controller code.
