Answer A: Need Help Setting Up Email Verification in Codidact
Since you mention setting this up on your local machine, I assume this is a development environment, intended for your own testing (so the new user you are creating is still controlled by you on your machine rather than another person). If so, instead of emails being sent they will be displayed at ht...

Comment Post #292564 The routes were only in the answer, not the question, because I phrased the question in terms of my initial misunderstanding which didn't know that routes were the answer. I guess that's not ideal for browsing through questions, but at least this one exists now which is explicitly about routes.

Answer A: How do I add a new route (URL)?
You can add a new route in the file `config/routes.rb`, and the existing routes in that file for the other "tabs" on the user profile page show the template to follow. The relevant part of the routes file starts on line 180: ```ruby scope 'users' do ``` Everything inside this `scope` bloc...

Comment Post #292564 I struggled through understanding how the routes work myself a few months ago, so I wrote a [self answer](https://collab.codidact.org/posts/291607/291608#answer-291608) for next time I need to work on them. It covers the things I got confused by, and might be a way to get started and then narrow d...

Comment Post #292414 Thanks for explaining - I was wrong about how that command worked with passwords. I've edited the answer to remove references to passwords, so now it's just about making sure the user mentioned in `database.yml` exists.

Answer A: What does this failure involving mysql on Mac mean?
It looks like you are using a database user `root`. I suspect this is at least part of the problem, so I recommend fixing it first. If you look in the QPixel repository at the file `config/database.yml` you should see the database username and password that QPixel is trying to connect with (for me...

Comment Post #292409 You're welcome. I think `text` is actually invalid, but the response to an invalid language choice is to apply no syntax highlighting, which is what I want. I did also try `bash` first, and it changed a few subtle things but still had so much inconsistency that I thought plain text would be easier...

Answer A: Cannot find definition of function that returns a path
The function `commentthreadpath` is created automatically by Rails, based on the information provided in `config/routes.rb`. See Rails Routing from the Outside In for further details. Specifically, line 236 of `config/routes.rb` says (enclosing scope included for context): ```ruby scope 'co...

Question Cannot find definition of function that returns a path
I want to find the place in the codebase where a path is defined, but searching for the function that creates it gives no results apart from the usage of that function. For example, see `thread.html.erb`, line 142: ```ruby . ``` This calls a function `commentthreadpath` but searching for t...

Question Is the difference in Codidact's CDN guidance intentional?
Codidact has a [guide to installing Co-Design]. The section "Using a pre-built version" recommends using a [CDN]. I notice that the CDN recommended in the guide is different to the CDN used in the Codidact source code: - The guide uses `unpkg.com` - The source code uses `cdn.jsdelivr.net` The...
