Dear rails users, I’ve released a 2.0.1 version of the auth\_generator. The auth\_generator offers an admin interface as well as other features like gravatar support, theme support, a group like support (we call it domains), and all you would wish from such a generator. It’s used on website with thousands of users, no problem. Please take a look. We’ll be pleased to get feedbacks and ideas about new features. You can use the auth\_generator development list or the online trac. The auth\_generator is available at [http://penso.info/auth\_generator/](http://penso.info/auth_generator/) . ---

Hi Fabien, I am new to Ruby/Rails and am soaking up as much info as I can. This can be a problem with limited understanding of rails, when looking at all the really neat generators, various gems, & plugins. Knowing what gems, plugins, and generators will “play nice” together is frustrating considering all the choices. There’s a school of thought that says try it and find out! While that has a good deal of merit, I am not a believer in you much learn from your trial and error. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Tap others experiences to give you an advantage, or educated place to start. Being new to this platform (Delphi/VB Coder by trade), I am using the crutch of a scaffold (ActiveScaffold) in my first project. (side note: I like the sortable columns, etc, but find it difficult to customize). I ran across Hobo that looked interesting. Maybe would allow me to play in both worlds, crutch/code like a programmer. But I really would like to work with a “real” project. Tasting the power of Rails. So here’s my question(s). Needing an admin system with precisely the group model you have with auth\_generator, will it work nice with say a scaffold generator which builds my basic controllers that I can customize? (Trestle for example). Will it, for my understanding, work with ActiveScaffold? Can I customize the logged in/logout feedback from auth\_generator? These are probably some dumb questions and I may know the answer to the first (of course it will), but I lack a firm understanding. Your feedback would be very helpful. Thank you for your time. tonydm On Oct 26 2006, 5:07 am, Gerald Schenke \
