Gems and plugins

December 22nd, 2006 by iain | Posted in *, Gems, Plugins |

Currently using several different extensions in my rails projects. These seem to work in 3 different ways:

• Gem

  acts_as_taggable works this way. Installed by running sudo gem install acts_as_taggable and incorporated in the project by adding the line: ‘require_gem acts_as_taggable’ to the file config/environment.rb

• Gem with plugin

  acts_as_ferret works this way. Installed by running: sudo gem install acts_as_ferret and script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin/acts_as_ferret

• Plugin

  file_column works this way. Installed by running script/plugin install http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_file_column/plugins/file_column/trunk
