tarnfeld / pusherchat-rails

A simple implementation of PusherApp with Ruby on Rails

Getting started locally

$ bundle install

Edit config/database.yml and then set up the database

$ rake db:setup

Add some Pusher credentials in config/initializers/pusher.rb

Start the server

$ rails s

Visit http://localhost:3000/ in two browsers and start chatting.

Debugging

If something isn't working it's most likely the Pusher credentials:

• Take a look at the Rails log for any Pusher errors
• Enable javascript debugging on line 20 of app/assets/javascripts/chat.js

pusherchat-rails's Issues

XSS vulnerability

The site is vulnerable to XSS

Internet Explorer incompatibility

Not sure yet why, but as it stands this is not tested in IE, So if you need to be IE compatible I'd suggest to test it before spending too much time on this :)

Heroku website doesn't work
