Description
Hi @javan
We are a not for profit (and not so advanced) volunteer coding team at BreakDiving.io. We have a worldwide social media community designed to inspire our members to achieve their goals in life.
We have a message board on the homepage. We want to have the system automatically do a few things every Monday morning on that homepage:
- Post a new post on the message board that says, "Time for your weekly update!", posted from a specific user
- Share a random quotation from quotations we have added to the database
- Put a random 'tag of the week' above all of the posts that pulls from the Tag model
I have read through the readme, but am still a bit unclear how this would work. As an example, here is our Tag model:
class Tag < ApplicationRecord
include PgSearch
multisearchable :against => [:name]
validates :name, uniqueness: true
has_many :taggings, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :posts, through: :taggings
COLORS = ['#F7464A', '#46BFBD', '#FDB45C', '#949FB1', '#4D5360',
'#FF5733', '#F4D03F', '#a569bd', '#22b256', '#68a1b9',
'#d7b1e1', '#d15269', '#37b9bb', '#7ebb85', '#bc328c']
end
How could we randomly post a tag from this model each week?
Would it be similar for posting the weekly 'share your update' reminder?
Thank you so much for your help!

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the README, which the reporter says they have already read, and determine whether it documents recurring weekly jobs and the requested usage. No implementation file, test, or entry point is named; done would require clarifying how this Ruby application can schedule the message, quotation, and random Tag posts.
