Asa's Rails Day Commit Blog
This blog will follow my progress on Rails Day 2006. I am making "Markdown Mailer", which will become the email drafting and sending part of Open Campaigns Manager software.

Sliders work for setting size and color!! I need to make a helper for them, then drop them in, and the stylehseet part will be basically done!
selects in place of text fields in appropriate places in the style design section. Tweaked stylesheets
saved stylesheets can now be selected. if they are, they preempt all otehr style editing. so there's now a round-about way to edit existing stylesheets.
Basica functionality present to edit most CSS fields. No demos yet, and all are just text fields (no sliders or selects). No styling of lists or HRs yet
updated javascripts to most recent Scripaculous (may not hve been necessary). Refactored messages/send_or_save to be in a big transaction. Moved styles partial to the mailer so that ActionMailer can find it. Set full stylesheet (except for needing to add a width/color/etc for
tags).
Good morning! Added styles for page layout -- looks much better. Working tabs for Email text and Styles, with changing styles to indicate which is active.
message preview and sent text now share some styles -- this will need to be put in a styles partial of some sort. Basic functionality is present, as long as you don't want to add your own styles. :) That, as well as making the application and emails look pretty, will be tomorrows task. Bed calls.

Messages are now saved before being sent, and a message list screen exists. It allows further editting of messages that have not yet been sent. Added boolean 'sent' flag to message model, as well as created_at and updated_at.
First commit posted to web. I worked for an hour waiting for the SVN server to be ready. Message model is created in very basic form, and a form can be filled out which creates and sends a basic message. Observe_form in place watching the form, right now it just echos the message below as you write.
Rails Day 2006!
I will try to use a SVN commit script to post my commit messagges to this blog as Rails Day goes on.
