Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good (ideally simple) example of RoR design. I am rather new to this subject, and I am playing with [https://rubyforge.org/projects/mystic/](https://rubyforge.org/projects/mystic/) as an simple example to understand how stuff works, but I am not entirely convinced that it has been properly written in terms of locating html code, javascript code, etc. (e.g. There is a fragment of html code in one of the controllers ). Thanks Jakub ---

Look at the code to beast. [http://beast.caboo.se/](http://beast.caboo.se/) When in doubt about how to do things in Rails, often it is useful to look at how it was done in beast. It is also small. Good luck! ---

Hi Philip, Beast is an open source forum. I have deployed it my own hosting account on Dreamhost. Which unfortunately is ridiculously slow ☹ but that dreamhost for ya. So the answer is yes. As with any self deployable rails app, you can see the source. Its not so obvious how to get a copy from the front page at [http://beast.caboo.se](http://beast.caboo.se) Go here [Parked at Loopia](http://beast.caboo.se/forums/1/topics/381) and follow the instructions for checking it out from its subversion repository. There is plenty of info on how to deploy within the many forum topics. Hope this helps. Cheers Steven /**/ Steven H.
