Are there any good plugin example sites out there? Im wanting to componentize my application into a bunch of plugins so I can pick and choose which ones to use based on what the client wants.

Hi, on [1] you can find lots of plugins. You can learn a lot by investigating some plugins or simply follow the links to the rails wiki page about plugins and the plugin guide, which i would recommend to read. It helped me to understand the whole structure. bye, Tino [1] http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins On 3/15/07, griffnb <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Are there any good plugin example sites out there?

If you want to share complete modules between your applications, you can look into Rails Engines (http://rails-engines.org/). I believe this will change (or maybe already has) in the next version of Rails, as it is evolving to a core framework where you add plugins for specific functionality (e.g. the in_place_editor will become a plugin in Rails 2.0). You might look into the mephisto blog code, I believe it implements extensibility by adding extra modules.
