I''m going to be developing a site that will allow various groups to sign up, and each one to have it''s own forum section of the site, completely independent of any other forum. There will also be other various group-specific items (event calendar and such). In regards to that, I have two question: 1) Should I try to roll my own solution, given that I''m going to have to have multiple forums in one site? a) If so, should I actually try to roll this out via one table in a DB, dynamically created tables, should I try to do a subsite (ie group1.mysite.com, group2.mysite.com) and have each one of those sites have its own rails app? 2) If I don''t need to roll my own, can someone point me at software that either can already do this, or that I should use as a starting point (basic forum software) and modify it to be able to have multiple forums? Thanks for any help you can give. -- Luke Ivers <technodolt-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

For example, http://en.mikrocontroller.net/, http://inkscape-forum.andreas-s.net/ and http://www.ruby-forum.com/ are using only one DB and one installation. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''ll have to look in to it. I''m guessing, if you can''t, it''s as easy as adding another field to the table, referencing the group, so that when giving a list of forums, you can do conditions => [ "group=?", user[:group] ]. Which will get far more confusing if a user can have more than one group. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can get an idea of where I want to take the app by perusing my development log here: http://trevorturk.backpackit.com/pub/972338 To Luke''s original question - it sounds like basing your app on Beast might make a lot of sense. I started with my own base, but I referred to Beast (and PunBB, a PHP forum app) quite a bit while developing El Dorado. - Trevor -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
