Howdy, I''m trying to use both Mephisto and Beast for a website. The way I see it, I have two options: 1) Run them as separate apps (any advice on how to do this?) 2) Integrate them (anyone have some tips on this?) Thanks for any help.

No if you use separate databases for them. On 7/12/07, Joe Peck <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Joe Peck wrote: > >> I run them separately.

Not to get off topic, but I''ve been looking for blog and forum software to integrate into an existing site. Beast doesn''t seem to be used all that much and I ran into a couple of bugs right from the start. Mephisto I was just about to download and check out. Anyone have other suggestions? Integration of the authentication system with an existing rails site is a major consideration, along with being able to change the look and feel.

But Savage Beast is essentially the Beast forum without authentication, in an rails engine incarnation, with an additional polymorphic "has many" added for dash (so you can associate forums with, well, whatever). And since it''s a rails engine you can over- ride views, controllers, etc. SB was extracted from my integration efforts with the Soup - (you can see it in action http://the-soup.net/ventures/1/forums/1). Since then I''ve integrated into another railsers commercial site. blogged here: http://www.nnovation.ca/2007/5/18/savage-beast the docs still suck, but someone with a little rails knowledge can integrate nicely quite quickly. The demo app currently serves as documentation. svn: http://svn.nnovation.ca/svn/savage_beast/ demo app: http://svn.nnovation.ca/svn/savage_beast_demo/ Jodi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m looking into running them as separate apps with separate databases, but how can I do that? Right now this is what I have: Combo (directory) - blog app - forums app Where should I run the server so that it knows about both? Or should I run it inside one of these apps, and somehow use routing to get to the other one? Any help is appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

In the end we used punbb for the forum and a typepad blog. Mephisto isn''t bad, but beast is just not anywhere close to the php forums that are out there. Both in terms of how nice it looks, how easy it is to customize, and the features. Plus it''s not really under active development that I could tell. Not trying to knock it, but it is what it is. I chose punbb over phpbb simply because it''s a lot cleaner and smaller, while still having a ton of features.

You can front the whole lot with a single web server though. The easiest way is to run each application on a different subdomain, e.g. blog.foo.com and forums.foo.com. Hope that helps.
