So now that they are downloaded I go into my project directory and
try: "ruby script/plugin install acts_as_list"
I get: " Plugin not found: ["acts_as_list"] "
Is there a trick to getting this going in Rails 2.2.2?
It sounds like you've already manually installed the plugin... but to
use script/plugin install you need to specify the repository for
plugins at Github.
script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/acts_as_list.git
I believe the only difference between manually copying the source
files and installing via script/plugin install is that install.rb is
run in with the latter. In your case, acts_as_list doesn't have an
install.rb file, so it doesn't matter.
anyways...
Have you just started your app and tested if act_as_list is working?
