Can activeadmin be used with sinatra or other non-rails apps? - sinatra

I looked at the docs and wiki, but could not figure out for certain if activeadmin has a hard dependency on rails?
Would it be possible to use it as a drop in admin panel for a sinatra or pure rack app? If so, how?

Sorry, ActiveAdmin is Rails only. You can figure out dependencies by looking at the Gemfile. You might want to look at Padrino instead,.

Meteor Accounts-facebook etc for React instead of BlazeJS

Does anyone know if there is a way to create facebook login/sign up flow using the meteor accounts library, for ReactJS instead of BlazeJS?
All the versions I've seen on the web are based on BlazeJS. They all require some HTML file. Which breaks the current convention for ReactJS. Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
The usual way forward is to write your own React UI and use methods like Accounts.createUser etc. to do the auth and other stuff.
A straightforward way is to use studiointeracts's package - accounts-ui

create app from WordPress website

I have a personal website which built on WordPress. Now, I'm going to create a simple iOS app for it which enables my readers to read and comment on the posts, view the archive, ... usual stuff.
Since I'm using WordPress and my website is something very common, I was wondering if there are any free out of the box toolbox or something for this purpose?
Are you using WPTouch already?

I hope it will save you a lot of work ;-)

Is it possible to use five.grok to register portlets in Plone 4.1?

I looked into five.grok and found no reference to Portlets. Can it be done?
five.grok does not have support for portlets. If you want it, you would need to implement a grokker in an add-on package. See plone.directives.form for some examples of custom grokkers.

How can I browse or query live MongoDB data?

I've googled around but couldn't find a working MongoDB viewer or data browser.
An ideal (for my needs) tool would be a web based viewer with dead simple features (browsing and doing queries).
You have :
Mongo3
futon4mongo
See: http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/334469038/a-couple-of-nice-gui-tools-for-mongodb
Hopefully it'll be updated frequently when new tools are available!
EDIT:
Better overview: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Admin+UIs
I just tried MongoVUE and it works like a charm!
Check it out: http://www.mongovue.com/
MongoHub is moved to a native mac version, please check http://github.com/bububa/MongoHub-Mac.
genghisapp is what you want.
It is a web-based GUI that is clean, light-weight, straight-forward, offers keyboard shortcuts, and works awesomely. It also supports GridFS.
Best of all, it's a single script!
To install it
$ gem install genghisapp bson_ext
(bson_ext is optional but will greatly improve the performance of the gui)
To run it (this will automatically open your web browser and navigate to the app as well)
genghisapp
To stop it
genghisapp --kill
https://github.com/Imaginea/mViewer
I have tried this one and as a viewer it's awesome with tree and document views.
Im just testing Rock_Mongo
It's a nice tool, written in PHP.
MogoVue is the best option I found so far, it has great features I did not see in other viewers, plus it gives few options to look at the data, as json, tables and hierarchy, which is extremely useful.
Avoid MongoExplorer, it has major issues, which can cause you huge headaches. When viewing records using this tools, it may change fields which are MongoId's to plane string, it does not give any indication on this, just does it when you focus on the id field, this bug cost me lots of time and effort trying to find "what and where in my code i'm doing this silly thing"...
RoboMongo
Genghis
And entire list from here http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/tools/administration-interfaces/
While the built in Http Interface of MongoDB isn't exactly what you are asking for, but it is available and supports a REST interface to do simple queries, etc. This is built-in to the mongo instance with a default of port 28017.
Documentation: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Http+Interface
As well as those mentioned by shingara, there's also:
Opricot
PHPMoAdmin
MongoHub (I've heard mixed reviews on this one, not sure if it's maintained)
Just pushed mongoclikker to GitHub. It's a dead simple MongoDB viewer written in Node.
There a lot of UIs on official mongo site http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Admin+UIs
To add to the list :)
I just made a simple Mongo browser based on a hierarchical JQueryTreeview and implemented in Sinatra and Ruby.
The reason for another viewer was that I wanted something that was fast and easy (both to use and the code base), that would let me peek at what was going on my MongoDB. Also, I wanted some nice Ajax effects. and could be the base of a more complete browser.
https://github.com/tomjoro/mongo_browser
I just released a simple web-based data viewer called Mongs. It isn't a server admin GUI, it's focused on data browsing, which sounds like what you're interested in. Mongs is implemented in Python using the Aspen web framework.
JMongo is nice db viewer using on fedora linux
I started work on small project: https://github.com/lucassus/mongo_browser
It's a mongodb browser based on ruby's sinatra framework.
here is the better tool for sql as well as No-Sql viewer and also you can query in gui mode with this tool.
"RoboMongo" is easy to use and cross platform, using on centos 6.2 but no option for data import/export which can be found in "umongo" but not easy to use as RoboMongo.
For web: genghis is simple and have much more fashion interface.
For desktop: robomongo: Shell-centric cross-platform MongoDB management tool
I'm using MongoDB Compass. You can download the community edition by entering valid information.
I using Robomongo, in version 0.8.3 implemented multiply inserting documents, for more details https://github.com/paralect/robomongo/issues/173. Robomongo also have builtin mongodb-shell may be usefully for your purposes.

Stand-alone charts in GWT

I've been trying to get pretty charts to work in GWT on our internal network.
Playing around with GWT-Ext's charts is nice, but it requires flash and is really messy to control (it seems buggy, in general).
I'd like to hear about something that works with the least amount of dependencies and it also must work without a connection to the web (so, Google' charts API isn't a solution).
Edit: Indeed, I would rather a library that is all client-side.
I'm building a GWT chart library based on Flot: http://gflot.googlecode.com
I hope you find it useful. Contact me if you have any questions.
Googling for "GWT +sparklines" has gotten me to gchart, which seems like what I need.
From what I understand - it's all client side and requires nothing more than their JAR file.
Google's charts actually come in two flavours, and one of them does not require interaction with Google's servers - so should satisfy your needs.
Google Image Charts is the API you are thinking of, which is an API on Google's servers that returns images.
Google Interactive Charts is a client side javascript API that renders entirely within the browser: Google Interactive Charts
Google provides a GWT wrapper for the interactive charts: GWT Visualization API
It's not all rainbows and unicorns and you can find chart libs out there that make nicer charts, but it's pretty solid, works on all major browsers and we've been using it successfully for quite a while.
http://code.google.com/p/ext-ux-ofcgxt/ is a nice option if you're using ext-gwt
Do you want something that has a server side component or entirely client driven? The best ones I have seen are all flash, alas. I have done little tricks with JS and GWT before, but there is only sophisticated I will get before I go hunting for a library to do it for me.
There is also "sparklines" - they are available in lots of flavours (very simple charts though).
gchart looks seriously awesome. Go with it !
If you're looking for client-side check out flotr which is based on prototype javascript library or flot which is based on jQuery. Both work well, though flot seems like its got a bigger backing.
If you are willing to go with flash, XML/SWF is a wonderful tool
+1 flot, requires jQuery though, so might not play well with GWT, I haven't used that.
Another flash option, with a pre-built GWT integration - Open Flash Chart / ofcgwt.
I think that gwt-chart is a better framework for you.
well.. i've used yahoo ui chart library (which GWT-Ext uses internally). Pretty neat solution, in the beta stage though.
Let us know the conclusion you arrive at..
There is one open source api for charts in GWT hosted on http://code.google.com/p/gwt-rcharts/ . The API works on SVG/VML specification. You may find it quite easy to implement and use. You may find the demo at http://gwt-rcharts.appspot.com/
