@Undo MS needs pulling to the server when you've got a minute. I've rewritten the "needs admin" thing so it works like it should instead of the stupid design the last one had.

In theory, you should be able to set it up so that Circle deploys to EC2 on successful build.

this one preferably

Looks like it works

Excellent, it does indeed. Cheers

So now we can have more than one flag on a post at a time, and we get usernames if the flagger is logged in

Oh damn, there's one tiny little bug in it.

Ferrybig

Is the admin feedback XSS proof?

ArtOfCode

which... that commit should fix

Undo

@Ferrybig You have to explicitly tell Rails that you want to shoot yourself in the foot, otherwise everything is sanitized by default.

ArtOfCode

@Undo Hey Rails, please take this gun, load it, take the safety off, aim it at my foot, and shoot me.

Undo

Using this weird obscure syntax to do so

ArtOfCode

I don't even know what the syntax is. Which, to be honest, is probably not a bad thing.

I remember the days of writing web apps in PHP.

Nothing is ever done for you in PHP.

Undo

2:44 PM

It's <%=h IIRC

Or <%= my_value.html_safe %>

ArtOfCode

Which is great if you want to be flexible, but not if you want to write short, clean, safe code.

Rails? Love it.

nvm.

it does work, it just doesn't work if the user has been deleted. I guess that's a small enough edge case it isn't a big deal.
