How to create an 'off' click event - the Ember way
6 Apr 2015
We’ve been working on a project recently in which our designs called for a hover dropdown menu that did not close until the user clicks outside of the drop-down. Creating something like this in jQuery and in a Ruby on Rails app would have been a no-brainer. But I quickly discovered it wasn’t going to be quite so straightforward in our new Ember app.

Flash Message Conductor Now Rails 3 Compatible
2 Jan 2013
As 2012 was winding down and the holiday season was winding up, I took time to work on some of our internal projects.
While updating some applications to Rails 3, I noticed that our gem, Flash Message Conductor, was not still Rails 3 ready.
Instead of replacing all of the syntactic sugar that Flash Message Conductor gives us to the Rails defaults in our applications, I decided to update the gem to use Rails 3.
I'm pleased to announce that Flash Message Conductor 2.0 is now available for download and it's compatible with all versions of Rails 3 (3.0, 3.1, and 3.2).
Still using Rails 2? Don't worry, you can still using version 1.x of the gem in your projects.
