Assuming you mean you want a file based data store, yes, quite possible. You can store the text files in a directory, and when your application runs, it can scan the files and build a link in your web page that will cause your web application to then display the appropriate file, while still keeping the look and feel of your site. I'd personally not do the whole Rails thing for something like this; you might look at Sintra or Merb instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
