But a Rails plugin is really just a subfolder to vendor/plugins conforming to a set of conventions. As such you should be able to install a plugin from a zipfile by unzipping it to a folder below vendor/plugins -- Cheers, - Jacob Atzen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ok so now I have extracted the contents into vendors/plugins/upload_column . I''ve noticed there is no install.rb , will the plugin work without running the install program? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Any particular reason you''re not simply following the guidelines from the project homepage[1]? The part about getting the plugin in particular: script/plugin install \ svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/uploadcolumn/tags/stable http://uploadcolumn.rubyforge.org/ -- Cheers, - Jacob Atzen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
