ImageMagick Installation with PNGlib and JPEGlib

By -
Unpack the distribution with this command:

tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz

Next configure and compile ImageMagick:

cd ImageMagick-6.7.4

With every installtion there is a read me file like install-unix.txt , from there you will find the options to add additional libraries like png and jpeg , so you need to make change in configure command with those options.

./configure --with-jpeg=yes --with-png=yes --with-tiff=yes --with-freetype=yes  --with-fontconfig=yes --with-modules=yes --enable-shared=yes

make

If ImageMagick configured and compiled without complaint, you are ready to install it on your system. Administrator privileges are required to install. To install, type

sudo make install

You may need to configure the dynamic linker run-time bindings:

sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib

Finally, verify the ImageMagick install worked properly, type

/usr/local/bin/convert logo: logo.gif

Difference between Validations, Callbacks and Observers

By -
Validations allow you to ensure that only valid data is stored in your database. Example: validates_presence_of :user_name, :password validates_numericality_of :value We can write custom validation also as def validate   errors.add(:price, “should be a positive value”) if price.nil?|| price < 0.01 end Callbacks and observers allow you to trigger logic before or after an alteration of an object’s state. Callbacks are methods that get called at certain moments of an object’s life cycle. With callbacks it’s possible to write code that will run whenever an Active Record object is created, saved, updated, deleted, validated, or loaded from the database. Callbacks are hooks into the life cycle of an Active Record object that allow you to trigger logic before or after an alteration of the object state. This can be used to make sure that associated and dependent objects are deleted when destroy is called (by overwriting before_destroy) or to massage attribu
