http://blog.isshen.com/articles/tag/plugins en-us 40 <p>This was brought up at #rubyonrails -- someone's idea of the <a href="http://www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/top-11-rails-plugins/"> top 11 Rails plugins</a>.</p> <p>There are a few missing from there:</p> <ul> <li><p>Technoweenie (Rick Olsen)'s <a href="http://technoweenie.stikipad.com/plugins/show/Acts+as+Authenticated">acts_as_authenticated</a> and restful_authentication. These plugins do not tell you how to authenticate anything. Rather, you install the plugin then generate authentication code. From there, you modify it as you see fit. </p></li> <li><p>Technoweenie also wrote <a href="http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24#FileUploadFu">attachment_fu</a></p></li> <li><p>Rather than <a href="http://www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2006/07/05/acts-as-taggable-plugin/">acts_as_taggable</a>, I use <a href="http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/acts_as_taggable_on_steroids">acts_as_taggable_on_steroids</a>, which is based on acts_as_taggable. Neither supports multiple tags per model, and the acts_as_taggable_on_steroids author invited me to write a patch, should I write one.</p></li> </ul> <p>The largest repository of Rails plugins I've found is located at <a href="http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins">http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins</a>.</p> Sat, 28 Jul 2007 14:51:00 -0500 urn:uuid:716d5eb4-672b-4686-81d8-3a2e08f70f54 Hosh http://blog.isshen.com/articles/2007/07/28/rails-plugins Ruby on Rails ruby_on_rails plugins
