This demo application shows a way to allow self-serve editing of faculty portraits using Rails, CarrierWave, and JCrop.
It was made with scaffolding, and does not interact with CEAL or Oracle, so it's merely a proof-of-concept. To try it out, git clone, bundle, and rails s.
Notes:
- Turbolinks is not enabled, because it was not playing well with JCrop, although that could be worked around.
- There is no minimum file size forced on uploads, this is necessary to meet the standards of the Graphics department.
- There's a potential refactoring that would make it faster: store the
photo_keyin the portraits table, only on the selected photo, and use that as the key for the selected portrait, and move the#pennatarmethod to theportraits_controller.
