I currently have a site that already has user accounts, groups, and events. But I need some social networking capability, such as forums for a specific group, or a blog for a particular workshop that is going to be held.
1. Will I be able to limit access to forums or blogs based on membership in a certain group (my groups)? 2. I currently use ActiveRBAC for autehntication (yes it's old - changing it out seems like a huge ordeal). Can I have community engine use my authentication method? 3. I'm also considering running it as a separate site, as opposed to full code integration. However the above issues would still apply - I would have to be able to limit access to resources based on membership and access privileges in my main application. This would also allow me to upgrade my app to Rails 3 if community engine lags behind. 4. Now that Engines are first class citizens in Rails, particularly in Rails 3, will desert be going away? Doesn't make sense to have two code merging facilities, possibly stepping on each other's toes. Would Tog be a better fit for these requirements? One part these systems seem built to be integrated into an existing site. Yet there are some real challenges in doing that to a non- trivial application, which mine is.
