Suggestion for a good rails forum

i’m looking for a good rails forum that will run under rails 2.0.2.

i tried using altered beast but for some reason when i create the first
user and click the confirmation email it never gets registered. there
is no errors in any of the rails logs or apache logs. anyone know why
this might not be working or have another solution for me to try?

thanks.

I think the default is that mail only actually gets sent in
production. Is your app running in development mode perhaps?

Otherwise make sure your config/environments/production.rb has a valid
smtp setup.

You could give eldorado a shot.

I also have a forum system called rboard that you could try:

yea i am running in dev mode but without working mail on my dev server.
i went into /var/spool/mqueue and read the email but the link still was
just redirecting me to the login page for some reason without creating
the user.

thanks i’ll check out eldorado. anyone else have any good results with
another forum?

GitHub - radar/rboard: A fully featured forum system compatible with Rails 2.3

ryan, i tried rboard but when i did the migrate i got couldn’t find
table rboard_development.themes. i looked around but couldn’t figure
out how to fix it offhand.

i did get eldorado working though and it looks very nice. do you know
if there are any themes available yet to download?

Scott, I’m the developer of El Dorado. There aren’t any themes available
that I know of, and theme support is currently limited to CSS. I hope
you find the app useful, though. If you’re looking for help with
anything else, you can check out the demo, testing, and support
installation here:
