Here's some badly designed code

hello!

i am kyrre and i’m a rails newbie. i’m trying to combine altered beast
with chuckslist to create some sort of online community here in norway
where i can make friends and maybe even hook up with some lovely ladies.

but i feel that the chuckslist part ain’t as up-to-date and
well-designed as the altered beast part. it’s not restful for instance,
and my attempts at making it so were disastrous, so i figured i’d
consult the community before i make any more mistakes. kinda like the
saying goes, better digging a new hole instead of digging the same hole
deeper.

here is everything i’ve got so far: http://pastie.org/176306

  1. how do i make the chuckslist part restful? (how would this affect my
    controllers and models?)
  2. how do i perfect my routes? (i take it my routes_new.rb is a bad
    start)
  3. are there any parts of altered beast that can replace parts of
    chuckslist? (like now, the beast handles users and site configuration)
  4. is there anything i can join, simplify, or remove? (for instance,
    beast handles all users… and i don’t think i’ll be needing
    chuckslist’s “isAdmin” seeing as how beast already has “admin”)
  5. beast uses a lot of xml, what’s with that? could chuckslist benefit
    from that?

thank you all so much!
