Just starting to look at Goldberg and I like what I see so far. However,  
there’s quite a bit in there. Anyone using Goldberg for production  
sites?  
How is the security, flexibility, etc?

Thanks for any input you can provide!

Jake

Bump…anyone at all? I’m certain someone out there has some experience  
with  
this?

Thanks!

Jake,

I personally don’t although I’m looking into it. I know, though, of a  
company that does. In the past MtnWestRuby conference a guy from  
SurgeWorks [1] presented Goldberg and mentioned they use it all the  
time and that it gives them a great head start when starting new  
projects for the security and features built in. That presentation is  
the reason aI am taking another look into Goldberg.

Just my .02 cents 😉

What is it? Obviously I can’t answer your question, but would like to  
know what it is. Consider it a free bump 🙂

Hi Jake,

We are in the midst of development on our project and are using goldberg  
to bootstrap the admin backend, security and authentication. If you  
have questions I would be happy to try and help. You can email me at  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Hello Phil,

I found your post in google groups. I hope you don’t mind answering a  
question: The goldberg forum appears dead. I think the author must  
be very busy.

have you implemented a “remember me” aka “keep me logged in” feature  
in goldberg?

has it worked out well for you? any problems?

thankd in advance

luu

Goldberg 2.0.2 has been released as a gem. It works with Rails \>= 2.  
ONLY, the Goldberg gem 2.0.1 ONLY works with Rails \< 2.

I am using Goldberg as the web i/f scaffold for a new project. I have  
only glossed over its features but have managed a fully customized  
appearance and colour scheme nonetheless, albeit based on the EWNF  
template.

The author has been very busy and traveling of late. However, he has  
plans to revise the authentication scheme to permit multiple roles per  
userid rather than the strict single inheritance scheme presently used.

That should be goldberg\_generator 0.2.1 and 0.2.2
