Installation of Savage Beast?

Hey Nick -

Looks like you've found a dependency on my implementation - harumph!

You can solve that issue by adding an "admin?" method to your User
model (I'm doing role based stuff, that shouldn't be in the standard
templates). Additionally you can over-ride the view in question(which
is likely how I integrated SB)

please email me and I'll work you through your integration.

I have been trying to integrate SB into my current RoR app. I've gotten pretty far (I think), and found the sbDemo (http:// www.nnovation.ca/2007/5/18/savage-beast) extremely helpful! I think I am so close ... but when I go to /forums on my site, I get this error: "undefined method `format_attribute' for Forum:Class"

I downloaded all the plugins, migrated tables, updated my routes.rb ... what else am I missing? After I'm finished, I'd love to write up some really detailed steps and share with the group!

You're missing white_list_formatted_content (http://svn.techno- weenie.net/projects/plugins/white_list_formatted_content/)

If you don't have, you'll also need:

white_list browser_filters

what would we do with Rick?

SB really needs some docs, so please do blog. Perhaps I could include
some measure in the README/

Hmph. I pulled all the plugins over from your sbDemo, including white_list_formatted_content, white_list, and browser_filters. Here's the output when I try to install it again using the svn site:

3 [C:\bpa] c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe script/plugin install http://svn.techno-weenie.n et/projects/plugins/white_list_formatted_content/ already installed: white_list_formatted_content (http://svn.techno- weenie.net/pr ojects/plugins/white_list_formatted_content/). pass --force to reinstall

Any other ideas? Thanks in advance, I would definitely like to help out w/ a doc!

ahh. I thought you were referring to your app - not the demo.

would you mind emailing me the steps to re-create the bug.

I'lll try it out here, and patch the demo if needed.

thanx for your help.

Has anyone successfully installed SB? If so is there a step by step instruction for the process? It would be great to make use of the product!

SB is deployed in a few projects (the-soup.net, plus a few others) to date.

the blog post is kinda-gritty - you'll likely find most of your answers with a demo app I put up::
