Hello
I’m planning to build a site that lets users share stories, sort of
like a text version of flickr.com It’s my first RoR app.
A large portion of my app is going to be the same as a lot of
community-type apps, specifically, user registration and mangement –
let the user register, send them activation email, show a user profile
page, let them edit preferences, and later on, admin control panel.
It’s rather daunting to do all this from scratch. Is there something
like a starter kit with an account management module I can just drop
into my app and customize for my use?
thanks
Hi,
have a look at acts_authorized plugin. It’s easy to integreate and
simple to extend.
Regards,
Alex
you always have:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Acts_as_authenticated,
which is really easy to do and the instructions actually work. i can’t
say that on some of the other packages.
if you need a more heavy weight, there are others like hobo, and if you
look, there are several others.
i had a nightmare with SALTED. i have not tried SUGAR, which is based
on SALTED.
some of the other dudes may have other idea’s to look at.
