Rails - Oct 2005 - does latest rails version (0.14.2) support vendor/plugins?

http://jamis.jamisbuck.org/articles/2005/10/11/plugging-into-rails

Seems to be a good way to add in the ActsAsHidable that I want to 
implement.  I''ve built the directory structure as shown and written the
code as described in a previous post, but Rails 0.14.2 is either
a: not actually loaded - it''s using an older version
b: loaded but doesn''t support this plugin feature
c: loaded supports the feature but I''ve got something wrong with the
config

Sorry to bug people, but I can''t find an answer through google

Also can''t find any description of how to define your own acts as 
whatever ActiveRecord::Acts base documentation isn''t where I thought it
would be

0.14.0 should have had this feature.  I''ve been writing a lot of
plugins since the support was checked in.

Act methods are just class methods on ActiveRecord.  I think
acts_as_paranoid is the simplest example you can get.

Kev (and list),

Plugis aren''t working for me either. Did you figure this out? I just
tried
to use them for the first time tonight, but nothing in vendor/plugins is
being "included". Here is a simple test and some debug information for
anyone else who may be able to help:

OS X 10.3
Rails 0.14.2

$:/var/httpd/rails/test/vendor/plugins root# ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 6 aroth wheel 204 1 Nov 22:09 assert_valid_markup
drwxr-xr-x 10 aroth wheel 340 1 Nov 22:09 file_column

class TestController < ApplicationController

assert_valid_markup :index

def index
render_text "testing test test..."
end

end

....and when I hit /test:

Application Trace:

Any ideas?

Yeah I got it working in the end.

I started by using the code as actas_as_chunky_bacon, but my init.rb 
wasn''t correct.

Anyway - here''s my acts_as_hidable code

easy one first...
vendor/plugins/acts_as_hidable/init.rb

require ''acts_as_hidable''

vendor/plugins/acts_as_hidable/lib/acts_as_hidable.rb

require ''active_record''

module ActiveRecord
  module Acts #:nodoc:
    module Hidable #:nodoc:
   
      def self.append_features(base)
        super
        base.extend(ClassMethods)
      end
   
      # Adds a find_all_visible method which finds all records which are 
not hidden
      module ClassMethods
        def acts_as_hidable
          class_eval do
            extend ActiveRecord::Acts::Hidable::SingletonMethods
          end
        end
      end
       
      module SingletonMethods
          def find_all_visible
            find(:all, :conditions => ''hidden = false'')
          end
       
          def find_all_hidden
            find(:all, :conditions => ''hidden = true'')
          end
      end
    end
  end
end

ActiveRecord::Base.class_eval do
  include ActiveRecord::Acts::Hidable
end

When I first started I was using a project I''d generated with rails 
0.13.1, but I''d updated to rails 0.14.x (gem update rails), but I
hadn''t
regenerated the app - that was the first problem, second problem was 
that the code was a little borked.  This one works fine however

Note: WinXP, one-click-Ruby, + gems install rails - WEBRick, not 
lighttpd/apache

Hi Adam,

I just tried my own plugin (ActiveRecord Enumerations - listed on 
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Plugins) and it works fine on 
OS X 10.3.9 and rails 0.14.2

Try editing the init.rb file for your installed plugins and stick a 
"puts ''I got loaded''" at the start, run
./script/console and see if
your message appears...

That should at least get you started.

Regards,
Trevor

Thanks for your reply. I tried what you suggested and they are both
loaded, or atleast the put statement is being executed,

$:/var/httpd/rails/lemons root# script/server
I got loaded (file_column)
I got loaded (assert_valid_markup)
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options
[2005-11-01 23:16:44] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1


 ...but I''m still getting those errors. Using file_column:

NoMethodError in <controller not set>#<action not set>

undefined method `file_column'' for TestController:Class
RAILS_ROOT: .

....

hmm. I even uninstalled all the old gems and reinstalled from scratch
to see if my installation was broken. Any other ideas?
