I'm new here, especially with rails - but understanding the MVC concepts I would distinctly say "no". A CMS system tied around Vbulletin will not work with rails because vbulletin was never designed with MVC in mind. It would not mesh well with rails mainly because of the following: 1) It's PHP and not MVC driven. 2) It utilizes hooks and plugins to modify code areas to your site (which would not be rails compatible). You are better off going with a completely new rails project environment from scratch or if you must use vbulletin then go with a vbulletin based CMS like VBadvanced.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
