Edge Rails ?

Edge Rails ?
Before you get to know how to install and use Edge Rails, you need to know what actually Edge Rails is.

Edge Rails actually means running a local developmental version of rails. It’s an alternative to gem rails.

Many a times I have thought how to freeze my rails application to local gems version or a particular gems version, So that I can run my frozen application on some other system which have some different version of rails installed. Luckily I found Edge Rails.

For example:- Consider you have frozen your rails application to the latest rails version 2.3.2 and you want to run this application on a different system which have a much older version of rails, consider for example version 2.1.0.

In this case you can run your newest frozen version of rails application on  other system, which have an older version of rails installed, without any glitches or bugs, using Edge Rails.

Create dynamic sitemap on ruby on rails

Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. It’s basically a XML file describing all URLs in your page: The following example shows a Sitemap that contains just one URL and uses all optional tags. The optional tags are in italics. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">    <url>       <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>       <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>       <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>     ...
