Hey Tom-

	Very cool project. I just perused the codebase and you must have  
worked a while setting this whole thing up. Definitely cool.

Wow!  Just watched the screencast.  I really like the extensions to 
migration syntax.  Seems much DRYer.

Permissions system has the features needed by most applications.  Not 
sure it if hits the 80/20 rule yet.  I did not see a password email 
feature.  I will need to download and test.

I expect to watch this closely.

Keep up the good work.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Hobo 0.4 - The web app builder for Rails

Interesting. Haven''t downloaded it yet, but I''ll have to check
out how
you''re handling the themes/views. Guessing this isn''t engines
based, but
perhaps copying theme templates into the app directory?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Hobo 0.4 - The web app builder for Rails

The authentication is done with the acts_as_authenticated plugin, which
is integrated into Hobo. The mailer isn''t integrated as yet, but you
could just install AAA and run the authenticated_mailer generator. It
might work out of the box, but it might need a bit of tweaking.

Localisation is not a personal priotry right now, but I''m sure
it''s an
issue I''m going to hit before too long. If this is something you need,
It would be great if you could take a look and see how it might be
integrated. Hobo will definitely need to support localisation in the
future.

Correct - not using engines.

The theme system is built around dryml - i.e. user defined tags.

For example, the app developer uses <panel> ... </panel> in their
templates, and each theme defines how these are rendered in html and
css. In the tabla theme, you get panels with rounded corners and
drop-shadows.

Yeah - sorry about that - I completely forgot to mention that Hobo  
needs Rails 1.2

gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org -y

Re: ANNOUNCE: Hobo 0.4 - The web app builder for Rails

Have you updated to the latest gem rails?

sudo gem update --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org -y

Hobo seems to need something more than just vanilla 1.1.6.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Hobo 0.4 - The web app builder for Rails

You should mention that it needs 1.2 in the install docs. I''ve had a
big
headache with people installing Substruct because I require a specific
version.

Using svn externals or a straight checkout works for me...

http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct/wiki/GettingTheCode for an
example.
