Rails - Apr 2006 - Rails wizard page support

Hello,

does anyone know if there is a "best practice" how to implement wizard
pages in
RoR? I want to have multiple pages for entity editing and creation. Is there
any rails plugin available? I think it would be nice to have a howto in the
rails wiki or to have built-in wizard support in RoR. What do you think? Any
suggestions how to implement this elegant?

What do you mean by wizard pages?

e.g. I have 5 pages to create/edit one entity in my RoR app. I do not 
want to have only one page because I think it is better to give the user 
several smaller pages (step 1 of 5, step 2 of 5, ...).
Now my question was if there is any "best practices" approach for such
a
behaviour (or a howto). Some other frameworks support this with built-in 
functionality (e.g. Spring, MonoRails, ...) - perhaps this can be 
implemented in RoR too - to give the RoR user a comfortable 
functionality.

Google for the acts_as_state_machine plugin and have a look at it.
