Rails - Nov 2007 - Front End to ROR. Did anybody like Joomla or Drupal?

Has anybody ever used Joomla! or Drupal as a front end to ROR?  I was
thinking of Drupal for this project for the content, and ROR for the
business rules and data.

Or would you recommend Joomla!?

I will stuff it in my public_html directory.  lol.  sounds fun.

You''re talking about mixing php with a Rails application.

It can be done but it''s really painful. Once you are serving Rails
apps, any
files in the Rails public/ folder need to be called by their full name.  So,
if you have a PHP script that makes a call to /files/ instead of
/files/index.php then it will fail. A fair amount of scripts do that kind of
linking.

I would say it''s really not worth it, but if you do decide to try it,
good
luck, and be sure to blog about it so we can all follow your progress.

For about a year, I''ve been mulling over creating a Roomla -- maybe 
using Radiant as a jumping off point.

If anyone''s interested in launching that kind of open source project, 
I''d participate.

Ok, but do I get a Mac if I do it?
And, can I be in one of those rails envy video''s?

And from what I understand, most people start these projects,
and leave fast, unless it is done with for a paying job.  lol.

got milk?  pass the cookies.

how many hours do you think it would take?  or years?  decades.
i am old.  will we be done before i die?

can we make up our own name instead of Joomla!?  the name does not go 
well with my coding sweaters  :)

who is gonna be the project leader?

No!  At least unless I get one also.

Hmm, do you look like the MS guy or the Mac guy?  I look a little more 
like the MS guy, btw.

Well, since I plan on consuming my own Koolaid, it won''t die as long as
I''m hosting websites.  My main line of business is based on Joomla, but
I''m not a PHP fan.  I''d rather use Ruby & Rails any day. 
So, in a way
it is for a paid job also and will lead to other paid jobs.  :-)

I''m err, on a diet.  A beer diet.

Pass the walkers please.  Since it would be a living project, it would 
last indefinitely.  How long would it take?  That depends on how skilled 
we are as Ruby/Rails developers and how much time we can commit.

It would take less time than the initial launch of Mambo for many 
reason.  Getting more than two developers involved would also, 
obviously.  I wouldn''t want it to be a going-no-where open source 
project.

Yes, we''d pick a new name, but sweaters must a red/white motif.
> who is gonna be the project leader?
Someone more experienced than me.  I''m simply a developer with a 
self-serving motive.  I''m a senior developer but not in Ruby or Rails 
which might be a disadvantage unless I ran the project and relied 
heavily on experienced Ruby developers to keep me out of trouble.  If I 
have a say, it''d be published under the MIT license though.

ok, write me at gemblon -at- yahoo -dot- com.

i am not an experienced ROR.  I was a java guy, that just started 
playing with Joomla! too.  you come up with 3 names, and i will pick 
one.  i will code it, or figure out how.  you make sure it is cool.  :) 
and spice it up.

i have written a purely dynamic, meta data based, data driven, sql 
based, framework in java swing, where ALL the screens are generated on 
the fly at runtime, from the meta data in a database.  ALL the sql was 
auto-generated, at runtime.  won a gov''s award. it has self healing and
time expiring record locking.  but, this be cooler.

MIT lic is ok.

do i host it on my companies web site, or do we make a new one?

email me if interested.

Hi.

We are currently working a cms component called palani.
maybe this could help you somehow:

http://code.google.com/p/palani/

palani is inspired by some concepts used in other cms systems.

greetings

olivier

ps: we are looking for code developers for palani
