Vhochstein never told about merging their rails3 changes in official repository, he didn't send pull requests as he did with rails2.3 fixes. When I knew his rails3 branch I was very busy to test it. I have been very busy in my free time last months because I was moving, and I'm very busy in work time and I only have time to fix little bugs. > Is there any reason that his branch might not become part of the official > project, and perhaps even a lot of those interesting looking commits > rebased onto master and perhaps cherry-picked into the older 2.3 > branch even? I agree with pulling vhochstein fork into activescaffold repository and adding him to official repository, but I would like to have some missing changes in his fork, as helper overrides naming schema. I don't know whether there are more missing changes. That change was a reported issue, agreed by previous developers, and it's useful for complex forms with subforms, where you have a field with the same name in different models. For example, you want to override name form field in a form for team with players, but you want to override it only for players. It's hard without changing the helper override name, so in master branch name is <model>_<field>_form_column > > From the point of view of looking at github, vhocksteins branch *is* > activescaffold now?

I would like to support rails3, and use rails3 in my new projects, but I'm failing in that because I don't have enough time for it. > > I personally love AS - how can we kick start things and get > development coordinated and moving again? Thank you for trying to restore AS development in main repository. I should have contacted with him some time ago viewing I didn't have time to support rails3. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ActiveScaffold : Ruby on Rails plugin" group.
