Try reading Good to great, Built to last books, it will help you in your product idea. Also if you want to develop something related to ur idea, hire someone or any person who wants to grow in life and be a product manager to your idea, playing programmer role and wanting to develop your project always tough, i always tried to do same and finally decided i should either work on my product idea or play a role to get it done.

I agree totally with you Anthony. Oh and yes I forgot to update the readers about the merging thing. With Nick’s small trick we actually managed to merge Spree into Community engine We are using the same in our next project.

How??? Well that is Nick’s secret if you want to ask you need to ask him directly and I know he will be happy to share it

So.. are you insane yet?

Or is merging a 20 language database into a yet-to-be-finished app more challenging?

Speaking from experience, insanity is not actually that bad. Suddenly, the whole world makes more sense, and interacting with it is much more fun! Trust me, I’d know

I never knew you had “products ideas”. Umm … too bad you never shared them with us.

But I hope you implement them and we find out more about them!

Comment on Simple star rating in Rails by Ahmed ElDawy

Customizing options is not working properly. You’ve to set all options or none at all.
Here’s a fix
def star_rating_field(obj_name, field_name, options={ } ) # check invalid options allowed_options = [:location, :hover_img, :active_img, :grey_img, :prefix] raise "Unsupported options for star_rating #{(options.keys - allowed_options).inspect}" unless (options.keys - allowed_options).blank? # set default options for non specified options default_options = {:location=>'/images',:hover_img=>"star_hover.png", :active_img=>"star_active.png", :grey_img=>"star_grey.png"} options = default_options.merge(options) # ... # The rest of the method is unchanged end


  def image_tag_for_star_rating(val, options={})

    # check invalid options

    allowed_options = [:location, :hover_img, :active_img, :grey_img]

    raise "Unsupported options for star_rating #{(options.keys - allowed_options).inspect}" unless (options.keys - allowed_options).blank?

    # set default options for non specified options

    default_options = {:location=>'/images', :active_img=>"star_active.png", :grey_img=>"star_grey.png"}

    options = default_options.merge(options)

# ...

# The rest of the method is unchanged

end
