bschwartz / upload_monkey_patch.rb
Created October 29, 2008 13:54
# If you've ever worked with file uploads in Rails, you've probably realized that Rails
# handles uploads with a filesize under 10K differently than files over 10K.
# I prefer things to be as similar as possible so I wrote this quick monkey patch.
# Drop it in your config/initializers directory and you're off to the races.
#
# You should also check out Paperclip, acts_as_attachment, file_column, etc. because
# they take care of all this business for you.

Easily loop through AR database records in chunks. Great for migrations.
# If you're doing migrations or work on large datasets,
# you don't want to do a Record.find(:all).each.
#
# Why you ask? Well, unless you have gobs of system memory, your system
# will be paging like gangbusters when it starts loading the entire db table
# into memory as AR objects.
#
# To use this just drop this file into the /lib dir of your Rails project and
# you'll be able to use it in any migration

bschwartz / jQuery ajax request method hack.js
Created January 22, 2010 19:44
// This is a jQuery monkey-patch that changes all PUT and DELETE requests
// into POST requests and sets a "_method" param to the original request method.
//
// This is a workaround for the fact that some corporate networks and
// environments don't allow PUT and DELETE requests.
//
// This whole thing works because Rails implements the _method hack.

Track Wistia videos using Vertster

* Usage:
*
* Vswap.trackWistiaVideo(560, 'wistia_123', 63.0);

* Note: This currently only works with a Wistia video embed but could be easily adapted to
* work with YouTube or other video players.
