Hello all, This is just a quick heads up that I''m going to be making the 1.2 branch of the engines plugin the official release in the very near future. If you''re planning on using the engines plugin with Rails 1.2, I''d *really* appreciate it if you could test the current branch with your 1.2 application: rm -fr vendor/plugins/engines svn co http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb_1.2 vendor/plugins/engines Check out the UPGRADING notes for what to be wary for, and post any bugs back to the Collaboa site, http://dev.rails-engines.org (login: anon, password: engines). http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb_1.2/UPGRADING IMPORTANT NOTE for those not using Rails 1.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you''re stuck on Rails 1.1.6 or lower (and I''m sure there are many who are), don''t try to install this release. It won''t work. It should actually complain gracefully, but there are no guarantees. Furthermore, if you''re linking to the http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines tag via SVN externals, you MUST update your link to either freeze at the current revision, or switch to a specific tag. Alternatively, look at the Piston tool for locking down your version of the engines plugin to a known-working revision. This is unbelievably important - ignore at your PERIL. -- * J * ~ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Only ever really intended as a demonstration of the sort of thing the engines plugin might enable, they rapidly became the two planks which the engines plugin was nailed to by many people in the Rails community. --> http://rails-engines.org/news/2007/01/23/farewell-login_engine-/ -- * J * ~

I have hard time to understand what is it good for? I mean you can make a "gem" and share application .. code sharing between apps can be a plugin.. I am sorry could you please provide some explanation? Furthermore the rails-engine site seems to be outdated any plans on updating the pages/screencast at the time of 1.2 engine launch Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Peter, On Jan 23, 3:28 pm, Peter Nordlund <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Without the login/user engine plus engines are nothing but plugins based > on the post above..and going through the rails-engine site ..

I > am sorry could you please provide some explanation?Your first stop should probably be http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/branches/rb_1.2/README, with particular note to the sections about sharing controllers/helpers, migrations, routes and public assets. While it''s possible to share all of this stuff in a normal plugin, you need work hard to do it sensibly. Having the engines plugin installed along side them makes it *really easy*, and provides a bunch of mechanisms for developers to do so.> Furthermore the rails-engine site seems to be outdated any plans on > updating the pages/screencast at the time of 1.2 engine launchI''ve begun updating the site (you''ll see references to "installing an engine" disappear, for example). I may produce a new screencast too, unless someone else beats me to it.
