Add new plugin

RailsLodge Ruby on Rails plugin directory provides an up to date list of rails plugins along with excellent plugin documentation that is maintained by the rails community.

Most recent plugins

  • Custom Resource Name new The Custom Resource Name Plugin lets you add aliases for your routes. This is very useful if you are developing a software to a country that does not speak English and wants all URLs in the native language.
  • Acts As Node new This is Rails plugin for graph drawing of models. It enables you render a graph drawing (with 2 different layouts, available) based on the relationships of the models underneath.
  • Acts As Line new Use PostGIS for date ranges: treat start/end date columns as a single spatial object that can be efficiently queried and manipulated.
  • Deep Cloning new This plugin gives every ActiveRecord::Base object the possibility to do a deep clone.
  • Map With Controller new I think that the complex Rails applications such as maintained over years tend to have messy config/routes. With this plugin, it will be easier.
  • Stylesheets For All new In a call to stylesheet_link_tag Rails will set media=screen which means that by default if you print a web page it will look nothing like what it looks like one the screen. This plugin changes it so the default is method=all.
  • Image Tag Silent Alt new In a call to image_tag Rails will set the 'alt' tag to the filename which isn't what you usually want. This plugin sets an empty alt tag unless it's already been set.
  • javascript auto include This plugin automatically includes javascript files that mirror an applications view structure.
  • Silent Postgres Silences internal diagnostic messages from postgresql connection adapter. Enabled only in development and test environments, skips production for performance reasons - logging is probably disabled there anyway.
  • Refresh View RefreshView is designed to allow the user to regenerate the basic rails views from existing models with one or more existing migrations. It was developed to alleviate the need to enter migration information at the command line when script/generating a scaffold.
  • Laziness Laziness does one thing: if your application throws an unhandled error, it will automatically create a failing test for you to copy into the appropriate test file - or if you're using RSpec, it'll write the appropriate spec for you.
  • HamlFilter For Typo HamlFilter is a Typo text-filter that allows you to write your Typo blog posts in Haml. You can even evaluate ruby code on rendering with this plugin (use at your own risk).
  • Acts As Url Param This plugin allows restful resources to be automatically exposed with human readable urls based on another method on the resource.
  • Simple Private Messages This plugin provides basic private messaging functionality between the users of a site. It‘s not big on features but the idea is that it‘s nice and simple and light on resources. It‘s not bound to specific model names and plays nice with will_paginate.
  • SIMILE Timeline This plugin allows you to generate Simile Timeline components for pages directly from Rails ...
  • Accessible Form Builder Another plugin complements AListApart "Prettier Accessible Forms", and based on pretty_accessible_form from http://machinesmonstersandmadness.com/svn/plugins/trunk/pretty_accessible_form
  • Community Engine Adds basic social networking capabilities to your existing application, including users, blogs, photos, clippings, favorites, and more.
  • Blueprint Accessible Forms This plugin is based upon pretty_accessible_form from http://machinesmonstersandmadness.com/svn/plugins/trunk/pretty_accessible_form and additionally on accessible_form_builder http://github.com/shift/accessible_form_builder with technical inspiration from Rick Olsen's labeled form builder
  • RSpec Haml Scaffold Generator This is an uber version of the RSpec Scaffold Generator, the following things have been added: Support for Haml instead of erb Nested routes (nested tests/migrations)
  • Year after Year This plugin allows you to keep your copyright year up-to-date.
