Guys!

Is there any list of Rails 2.0 compatible plugins/addons/libs? I  
searched a lot, but couldn’t find anything. Would you know which ones  
were ported to Rails 2.0 (or at least are “safe”)? I think this  
compilation would help a lot of people…

The most important ones (at least for me) would be:

- restful\_authentication (+ acts\_as\_state\_machine) =\> YES
- open\_id\_authentication
- cache\_fu
- exception\_notification
- attachment\_fu
- localization\_simplified
- globalize
- acts\_as\_ferret
- bundle\_fu =\> YES
- action\_mailer\_tls (GMail SMTP) =\> YES
- acts\_as\_taggable
- will\_paginate =\> YES
- flashplayrhelpr
- widgets
- acts\_as\_reportable (ruport)
- rupdf (ruport) / railspdfplugin

Cheers, Sazima

P.S.: Feel free to add other plugins to the list above…

I upgraded from 1.2.5 to 2.0.2. so far, I’ve seen no problems using  
the following plugins

acts\_as\_rated  
acts\_as\_commentable  
restful\_authenticated  
acts\_as\_ferret  
acts\_as\_taggable\_on\_steroids  
will\_paginate

As far as we know, acts\_as\_reportable is fully compatible w. Rails 2.

rubynuby, Greg,

Thanks for the info!

No one else is using plugins in Rails 2.0? Any alternative or better  
plugins than what I suggested above?

Cheers, Sazima

I had trouble with

ym4r\_gm  
spatial\_adapter

I’m not sure if the problems are fixed now, so caveat emptor.
