Hi,

I’m trying to how I should integrate eldorado forum with my site.  
What do you think is the best way to go about this?

I have a 2 fully functional separate rails instances of eldorado and my  
site and not sure how i should start.

i was thinking about making a backup copy of my site and slowly start  
copying over all the controllers…views…etc…over to my site folder  
and importing the tables from the eldorado database and combining them  
with mine.

however, this will break all my migrations and i wont be able to  
recreate the database unless i figure out how to copy those over, too.

what do you think i should do?

I’m about 70% done with an extension to El Dorado to do this. I can  
give you my code if you want.
