How to load plugins which aren't in the folder vendor/plugins (in my case in another rails project)
regards
i did it in that way, adding this to environment.rb :
plug_dir = Dir.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/../other_rails_dir/vendor/plugins") plug_dir.entries.each do |plug| %w(. ..).include?(plug) && next path = File.join(plug_dir.path, plug) if(File.directory?(path)) $: << File.join(path, 'lib') require File.join(path, 'init') end end
someone has a simplier solution?
not sure about plugins.. but gems can be accessed using following:
ENV['GEM_HOME']='/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8' ENV['GEM_PATH']='/home/ckh/gems' in dispatch.fcgi
ENV['GEM_HOME'] is default gem path and second option is for custom one..
you can try same for plugins.. but not 100% sure
