Does anybody know of a gem or plugin for Rails3 that allows for sending Private Messages between users of a site? I'm using Devise for my authentication.
I've stumbled upon simple-private-messages, which is one possibility, but that's about it (other plugins/gems that I found are very outdated). Does anybody know if any?
Thanks!
There are a few out there, such as acts_as_messageable and has_messages.
If you really want to use a plugin, acts_as_messageable is great if it does what you want, but chances are it would better if you wrote one yourself - it sounds like you want quite a specific solution that probably doesn't have a plugin that would fit exactly in.
We are searching for a solution ourselves.. most promising and new is the mailboxer gem. Very active development, good documentation ..

if we decide to use it, i will come back to write more about it.
and more about it here as well: Anyone knows good private message gem for rails 3.2?

I am very new in magnolia and I still have some difficults getting the idea to develop components, but my problem is that after read the docs offered in the site (I wonder if there are other kind of docs, as only for developers) I still dont get if they use Struts or not, at first I thought so, but I am not sure at all, could somebody tell me this? Just to know be clear.
Thanks
I see nothing resembling a Struts 1 or Struts 2 signature anywhere in any of the Magnolia artifacts. I'm not sure what made you think it used Struts, and downloading their CE it was a simple matter of looking at the deployed jars to see that it didn't.
I also checked a couple of the Magnolia libraries to see if there were shaded versions and I saw nothing of note. While I didn't spend much time on this (~five minutes) there's nothing obviously Struts-ish.
I am looking for a template generator for rails, much like the scaffolding, but complete with preset pages and css, everything already built-in generically.
I am unsure where or how to search for this.
The reason I want something like that and not create one myself, is that I need to create a website really quickly with a certain preset theme
I had the same problem that you had, and could not find a solution. Therefore I built a gem for it.
https://github.com/bighostkim/simple-layout
It only applies to your development mode and it does not use asset to make it simple.
Hope it helps.
Rails Yard may be the solution you are looking for. It is a CMS written in Rails.

Rails Admin is great for data management (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete).
I'm looking for a way to modify the values of I18n yml files for locales via web gui, is there some gem for that?
A gem that mimics Twitter Translation Center github.com/badrit/translation_center
Tolk is a web interface for doing i18n translations packaged as an engine for Rails 4 applications
https://github.com/tolk/tolk
Yes, I modified the Newsdesk's translate plugin for using with Rails 3:
https://github.com/romanbsd/translate
There's also tolk written by the creator of rails:
https://github.com/dhh/tolk
In http://rst-it.com we also had problems with finding the right solution, so we decided to make an activeadmin translation panel with interface similar to http://www.localeapp.com/.
Currently we are in design stage (first draft is on https://github.com/KMPgroup/active_I18n) but next week we will have working solution.
I will post here info when we lunch it, but in the meantime you can check https://github.com/KMPgroup/active_I18n and tell us what you think or even write an issue - the more feedback at the beginning the better.
This looks promising too:

I think I will give it a try. Anyone has experience with this service?
I'm trying to update my app (iSocialNet) to use the latest version of MGTwitterEngine without success. I've successfully got iSocialNet to work using Ben Gottlieb's Twitter+OAuth, but there are issues that come with it.
What I would like to do is make my own 'TwitterEngine' but I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I must warn you that my knowledge of ObjC is minimal, but I'm getting there. Any help is appreciated.
The problem with Twitter+OAuth is that I can't get native retweets to show in the timeline, there's no retweet feature in the MGTE supplied, I can't get all users that a person follows and that's just what I've encountered so far. This is why i need to either update MGTE which comes with OAuth or i need to implement my own engine. I know that OAuth is tricky, but there's a library that MGTE uses that I would use. It's the actuall speaking to twitter that I don't understand.
Many thanks in advance
You could try to parse the timeline directly off twitter, I have same problem and I think it may solve the retweet problem as well as parse the follower list off twitter too ;)
I'd recommend you to explain your problems with Ben Gottlieb's Twitter+OAuth here better than implementing a new OAuth engine, that's absolutely not trivial and with little Objective-C knowledgement it could be disappointing for you! We can help each other here and by reusing code.
Does anyone know of a gem/plugin for rails which can be used to manage bibliography or publication references? This tends to be quite standard format, so I am hoping there is something out there?
thanks
Not sure whether it will be useful for you. There is a Bookchef gem, that allows you to generate book (with references and footnotes) out of the xml file. It is convenient if you want to use just your favorite code editor and version control system.
But it has nothing to do with references formatting.
