Goldberg is a website development tool for Ruby on Rails that provides  
user management, role-based security, site navigation via menus that  
are dynamic depending on each user’s role, and content pages (a very  
basic CMS).

This release adds support for PostgreSQL, so Goldberg now supports this  
and MySQL 5. It also includes some streamlining of the Role caching  
code.

Please see the Goldberg homepage at [http://goldberg.240gl.org](http://goldberg.240gl.org) or the  
Rubyforge Project page at [http://rubyforge.org/projects/goldberg](http://rubyforge.org/projects/goldberg) for  
more information.

I’d be happy to answer any questions. Please post replies to this  
message.

Hi Pratik,

Check out the website, especially on the left-hand side: “Installation”  
and “Usage”. The “Usage” section contains a simple scenario that  
illustrates how Goldberg works.

Goldberg also includes documentation within it: once you set it up and  
browse to it, the navigation pages that come out-of-the-box explain  
where to go to do different things.

Admittedly the documentation is incomplete – it’s a very new product.  
If you have specific points where the documentation is unclear or more  
detail is required, I’d be happy to address that as a matter of  
priority.

Thanks,  
Urbanus

Hi Urbanus,

When I tried to install this on an existing app, it wanted to override  
my  
application.rb controller file. So I created an empty project and  
installed  
this. But then I got an error saying Role ID not found.

Thanks,  
Pratik

Hi Pratik,

Sounds odd. Were you able to restore the starter database  
successfully? It should have 11 tables and 2 views in it.

If you e-mail me directly (urbanus at 240gl dot org) with some further  
information I’ll see if I can help. Could you please send me:

- The error page that was displayed in your browser.
- Your Rails log file (log/development.log) and if you are using  
FastCGI its log too (log/fastcgi.crash.log).

Regards,  
Urbanus

Yeah. Will do that. Also, would be cool if you can just have migration  
file  
instead of sql.

Thanks,
