Fellow Railers, The rails_product and site_generator gems have been updated--thanks to several individuals for making suggestions and code available to me for this release. The gems are available on RubyForge, so you can simply $ gem install site_generator ... and both gems will be installed (say yes to dependencies, of course). Please do send me your improvements if this idea has been useful to you--I will continue to send out new releases as needed. Project Summary The product generator makes it easy to create a Rails app as a two- tier tree of concurrent versions. It is useful for web developers who create a generic base application (e.g. a shopping cart) and then extend that functionality for specific clients. Summary of Changes * Models are now re-opened in second-tier apps--you can thus modify a generic model for a site-specific need. * Apache mod_rewrite rules are fixed (some reports of problems from an obscure rewrite bug). * Migrations now use a "site_version" column in the schema_info table. (Thanks to Brad Ellis) * Some sample code for lighttpd (still somewhat lacking, however). Rails Product CHANGELOG: - 2005-09-24: Added a sample section of vhost-based lighttpd config file (Michael Baudino) - 2005-09-24: Changed the behavior of site-specific migrations--they now use a site_version column in the schema_info table instead of a floating point revision mechanism (Brad Ellis) - 2005-09-24: Added models to the things that are auto-required and re-opened (Brad Ellis) Site Generator CHANGELOG: - 2005-08-10: Revised the USAGE doc so that it actually explains how to use this generator. - 2005-08-01: Fixed that the apache mod_rewrite rules in apache.conf (.htaccess) were not functioning correctly on some configurations. Enjoy!
