I’ve beaten my head up against the git-svn wall for hopefully the last time. On the Yui4Rails plugin, I’ve been enjoying using github and managing the constant sea of change from new YUI library releases as well as enhancements from two of my projects as well as merging in changes from a couple others. All of this I’ve done on the git side of the house. I struggled to do this efficiently with svn before and once my fellow programmers started to use git, I checked it out.

There have been a few things that have changed with Page Event extension recently in the github repo. First, limited the calendar to showing only published events.

Finally, I pulled some changes from Sean Santry’s fork that adds a format option to the event:date and event:time tags. Enjoy!

I apologize for being so silent since RailsConf. It’s been quite busy for me at work and home. I will see if I can get the next official release pushed to svn in the coming weeks.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please email me.

Building YUI components in Yui4Rails
I’m going to go over the process for adding a YUI component into YUI4Rails. The basic philosophy that I have been following is the end result should be a concise, easy to use api for the developer yet allow flexibility for the myriad options that the YUI components offer. Let’s explore this approach with the latest widget that I’ve added, the carousel.
Before we dive into the code, let’s look at how the developer would use the carousel widget on one of his pages.
