I’m sorry to hear you’re not going forward with BaseApp. As an experienced web developer new to Ruby on Rails it’s the most useful starting point I have found. I was able to get it going on Rails 2.3.2 with the changes below, thanks to the very helpful post at http://vladzloteanu.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/rails-startup-app-basecamp-user-authentication/. To summarize:

- To get past the

“Missing the Rails 2.2.2 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.2.2 rails`, update yo…”

edit config/environment.rb and comment the following line:

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘2.2.2′ unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

- To get past the

“uninitialized constant Rails::Plugin::OpenIdAuthentication”

run:

script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/open_id_authentication.git –force

- To get past the

“uninitialized constant ApplicationController”

run:

rake rails:update:application_controller

BaseApp is no longer supported. I built it once, but with the pace that new gems, plugins and rails version come out and no way to easily upgrade current baseapps, I dropped support for it in favour of rails app templates.

If you upgrade to Rails 2.3 you’re bound to run into trouble.

I had the NoMethodError during the migration too and I managed to deal with it by simply creating an empty module stub in init.rb just before the line that causes the error:
config.to_prepare do
module OpenIdAuthentication
end
ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication
end
Now I have this whenever I try to login…
I am on Rails 2.3. Can anyone help?

Getting following error with open id authentication after upgrading rails from 2.2 to 2.3 :(

“NoMethodError in UsersController#create
undefined method `using_open_id?’ for # ”

after upgrading rails to 2.3 i wasn’t able to migrate database using rake db:migrate. after surfing a while i found a way which describes to install a open id authentication patch or comment out following line from init.rb (open_id_authentication plugin directory).

NoMethodError in UsersController
“ActionController::Base.send :include, OpenIdAuthentication”

Anyway, i installed patch and after that migration and baseapp installation was successful but i can’t signup and login from baseapp. getting that open id error constantly. i’m stuck with this. please help if possible

Hi,

Great work and reduces lot of work …

Are there any scaffold generators packaged that will create controllers,models and views that look similar to the ones provided by default.

Thanks

Great Job,
I was wondering if this is compatible with Rails2.3 and if you plan on releasing it as a template.

Thank you! I just launched a test app with no problems at all.

Two questions:

1. How do the tabs work?

2. Is this Rails 2.3 compatible?

Much appreciated.

never mind …
i used: rake db:bootstrap:load
ahhh … the fine tradition of no docs for Rails apps … is
this why my hair is falling out :-)

Thanks … this is nice!
Just one question, what is db/bootstrap/*.yml files for, and
how do I use them ?
thanks again.
