I signed up twice at the demo site, but have not gotten my emails. Is there something else I need to do? I would really like to demo the profiles area, etc. Hi Bruno!

In particular, I agree that the session store question probably should be taken out of the plugin; I'll put that on my list. As for replacing plugins, I think the only one I've touched in Attachment_fu, in order to fix a big with S3 image uploading. Hey Brian,

B) Sort of a side question: have you considered abstracting out some of the plugins? I appreciate your desire to have the engine contain all of the necessary parts, but some of the plugins included make it difficult to 'drop' into another application. For example: the Sqlsessionstore is an alternative to the available rails session options. While there may definitely be benefits to using it, is seems like that plugin is a deployment related decision, and should be abstracted from the community engine. I hope this doesn't sound overly critical. Your plugin is exactly what I need for a project I'm working on right now, I'm just hoping to trim a bit of fat, so to speak, so that it can work with what I already have. Hello there,

I’m trying to use your plugin with a new appliction I’m developing and I’m getting an error when I run:

ruby script/generate plugin_migration

The error message is:

/vendor/plugins/community_engine/engine_plugins/haml/lib/haml/template.rb:84:in `alias_method’: undefined method `read_template_file’ for class `ActionView::Base’ (NameError)
from /Users/bartiaco/projects/research_projects/communityenginetest/vendor/plugins/community_engine/engine_plugins/haml/lib/haml/template.rb:84
