29 26  
30   - To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
31   -these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
32   -certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
33   -you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
34   -
35   - For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
36   -gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
37   -freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
38   -or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
39   -know their rights.
40   -
41   - Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
42   -(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
43   -giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
44   -
45   - For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
46   -that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
47   -authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
48   -changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
49   -authors of previous versions.

51   - Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
52   -modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
53   -can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
54   -protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
55   -pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
56   -use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
57   -have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
58   -products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
59   -stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
60   -of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
61   -
62   - Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
63   -States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
64   -software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
65   -avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
66   -make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
67   -patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
  27 + Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
  28 +with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
  29 +you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
  30 +and/or modify the software.
  31 +
  32 + A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
  33 +improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
  34 +receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
  35 +incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
  36 +encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
  37 +software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
  38 +The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
  39 +letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
  40 +source code to the public.
  41 +
  42 + The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
  43 +ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
  44 +to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
  45 +provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
  46 +users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
  47 +a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
  48 +code of the modified version.

  50 + An older license, called the Affero General Public License and

1   -== Welcome to Rails
  1 +noosfero - a web-based social platform
  2 +======================================
2 3  
3   -Rails is a web-application and persistence framework that includes everything
4   -needed to create database-backed web-applications according to the
5   -Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also
6   -called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible
7   -for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. The model contains the
8   -"smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all
9   -the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The
10   -controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update
11   -Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.
  4 +:: About the project
12 5  
13   -In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
14   -layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
15   -database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
16   -methods. You can read more about Active Record in
17   -link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
  6 +Homepage: http://www.noosfero.org/
18 7  
19   -The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
20   -layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
21   -are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
22   -unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much
23   -more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of
24   -Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
25   -link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
  8 +:: Authors and copyright

27   -
28   -== Getting started
29   -
30   -1. Start the web server: <tt>ruby script/server</tt> (run with --help for options)
31   -2. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Welcome aboard: You’re riding the Rails!"
32   -3. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application
33   -
34   -
35   -== Web servers
36   -
37   -Rails uses the built-in web server in Ruby called WEBrick by default, so you don't
38   -have to install or configure anything to play around.
39   -
40   -If you have lighttpd installed, though, it'll be used instead when running script/server.
41   -It's considerably faster than WEBrick and suited for production use, but requires additional
42   -installation and currently only works well on OS X/Unix (Windows users are encouraged
43   -to start with WEBrick). We recommend version 1.4.11 and higher. You can download it from
44   -http://www.lighttpd.net.
45   -
46   -If you want something that's halfway between WEBrick and lighttpd, we heartily recommend
47   -Mongrel. It's a Ruby-based web server with a C-component (so it requires compilation) that
48   -also works very well with Windows. See more at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/.
49   -
50   -But of course its also possible to run Rails with the premiere open source web server Apache.
51   -To get decent performance, though, you'll need to install FastCGI. For Apache 1.3, you want
52   -to use mod_fastcgi. For Apache 2.0+, you want to use mod_fcgid.
53   -
54   -See http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI for more information on FastCGI.
55   -
56   -== Example for Apache conf
57   -
58   - <VirtualHost *:80>
59   - ServerName rails
60   - DocumentRoot /path/application/public/
61   - ErrorLog /path/application/log/server.log
62   -
63   - <Directory /path/application/public/>
64   - Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
65   - AllowOverride all
66   - Allow from all
67   - Order allow,deny
68   - </Directory>
69   - </VirtualHost>
70   -
71   -NOTE: Be sure that CGIs can be executed in that directory as well. So ExecCGI
72   -should be on and ".cgi" should respond. All requests from 127.0.0.1 go
73   -through CGI, so no Apache restart is necessary for changes. All other requests
74   -go through FCGI (or mod_ruby), which requires a restart to show changes.
75   -
76   -
77   -== Debugging Rails
78   -
79   -Have "tail -f" commands running on both the server.log, production.log, and
80   -test.log files. Rails will automatically display debugging and runtime
81   -information to these files. Debugging info will also be shown in the browser
82   -on requests from 127.0.0.1.
83   -
84   -
85   -== Breakpoints
86   -
87   -Breakpoint support is available through the script/breakpointer client. This
88   -means that you can break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate
89   -and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
90   -
91   - class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
92   - def index
93   - @posts = Post.find_all
94   - breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
95   - end
96   - end
97   -
98   -So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
99   -with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window. Here you can do things like:
100   -
101   -Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'
102   -
103   - >> @posts.inspect
104   - => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
105   - #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
106   - >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
107   - => "hello from a breakpoint"
108   -
109   -...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
110   -
111   - >> f = @posts.first
112   - => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
113   - >> f.
114   - Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
115   -
116   -Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you press CTRL-D
117   -
118   -
119   -== Console
120   -
121   -You can interact with the domain model by starting the console through script/console.
122   -Here you'll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the
123   -application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the
124   -database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
125   -Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>script/console production</tt>.
126   -
127   -To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run <tt>reload!</tt>

  1 +== Welcome to Rails
  2 +
  3 +Rails is a web-application and persistence framework that includes everything
  4 +needed to create database-backed web-applications according to the
  5 +Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also
  6 +called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible
  7 +for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. The model contains the
  8 +"smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all
  9 +the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The
  10 +controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update
  11 +Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.
  12 +
  13 +In Rails, the model is handled by what's called an object-relational mapping
  14 +layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from
  15 +database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic
  16 +methods. You can read more about Active Record in
  17 +link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.
  18 +
  19 +The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both
  20 +layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers
  21 +are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is
  22 +unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much
  23 +more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of
  24 +Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in
  25 +link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.
  26 +
  27 +
  28 +== Getting started
  29 +
  30 +1. Start the web server: <tt>ruby script/server</tt> (run with --help for options)
  31 +2. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Welcome aboard: You’re riding the Rails!"
  32 +3. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application
  33 +
  34 +
  35 +== Web servers
  36 +
  37 +Rails uses the built-in web server in Ruby called WEBrick by default, so you don't
  38 +have to install or configure anything to play around.
  39 +
  40 +If you have lighttpd installed, though, it'll be used instead when running script/server.
  41 +It's considerably faster than WEBrick and suited for production use, but requires additional
  42 +installation and currently only works well on OS X/Unix (Windows users are encouraged
  43 +to start with WEBrick). We recommend version 1.4.11 and higher. You can download it from
  44 +http://www.lighttpd.net.
  45 +
  46 +If you want something that's halfway between WEBrick and lighttpd, we heartily recommend
  47 +Mongrel. It's a Ruby-based web server with a C-component (so it requires compilation) that
  48 +also works very well with Windows. See more at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/.
  49 +
  50 +But of course its also possible to run Rails with the premiere open source web server Apache.
  51 +To get decent performance, though, you'll need to install FastCGI. For Apache 1.3, you want
  52 +to use mod_fastcgi. For Apache 2.0+, you want to use mod_fcgid.
  53 +
  54 +See http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI for more information on FastCGI.
  55 +
  56 +== Example for Apache conf
  57 +
  58 + <VirtualHost *:80>
  59 + ServerName rails
  60 + DocumentRoot /path/application/public/
  61 + ErrorLog /path/application/log/server.log
  62 +
  63 + <Directory /path/application/public/>
  64 + Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
  65 + AllowOverride all
  66 + Allow from all
  67 + Order allow,deny
  68 + </Directory>
  69 + </VirtualHost>
  70 +
  71 +NOTE: Be sure that CGIs can be executed in that directory as well. So ExecCGI
  72 +should be on and ".cgi" should respond. All requests from 127.0.0.1 go
  73 +through CGI, so no Apache restart is necessary for changes. All other requests
  74 +go through FCGI (or mod_ruby), which requires a restart to show changes.
  75 +
  76 +
  77 +== Debugging Rails
  78 +
  79 +Have "tail -f" commands running on both the server.log, production.log, and
  80 +test.log files. Rails will automatically display debugging and runtime
  81 +information to these files. Debugging info will also be shown in the browser
  82 +on requests from 127.0.0.1.
  83 +
  84 +
  85 +== Breakpoints
  86 +
  87 +Breakpoint support is available through the script/breakpointer client. This
  88 +means that you can break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate
  89 +and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
  90 +
  91 + class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  92 + def index
  93 + @posts = Post.find_all
  94 + breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
  95 + end
  96 + end
  97 +
  98 +So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
  99 +with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window. Here you can do things like:
  100 +
  101 +Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'
  102 +
  103 + >> @posts.inspect
  104 + => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
  105 + #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
  106 + >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
  107 + => "hello from a breakpoint"
  108 +
  109 +...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
  110 +
  111 + >> f = @posts.first
  112 + => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
  113 + >> f.
  114 + Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
  115 +
  116 +Finally, when you're ready to resume execution, you press CTRL-D
  117 +
  118 +
  119 +== Console
  120 +
  121 +You can interact with the domain model by starting the console through script/console.
  122 +Here you'll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the
  123 +application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the
  124 +database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment.
  125 +Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>script/console production</tt>.
  126 +
  127 +To reload your controllers and models after launching the console run <tt>reload!</tt>
  128 +
  129 +
  130 +
