which fork?

[Richard Zheng]

Hi,

Our app is ready for an upgrade from 2.3.5 to 3.2.1. I haven't been following AS very closely recently. It looks like that there are 2 forks, Sergio and Volker. What's the status of them? Any comparison? Both seem to be very active. Hate to have to choose one. Both seem promising.

Thanks,

I use Sergio's with 3.2, it's less obtrusive and more up to date.

I belive Voker's is at most 3.1 not sure. Also Volker's is more customized, you need it's specific rails_ujs and possibly other specific gems (replaces defaults).

I used to use Volker's in the past when it was ahead of Sergio's. Disclamer: Volker did the huge work of porting to Rails 3.

Volker is more like: this is my fork, but use it if it suites you and let's help each other out.

Sergio's is more like: this is the main community project.

Thanks for the insight. Wondering why AS wiki points to Volker'.

Where is pointing to Volker? It shouldn't because we have our wiki and
Volker's wiki will have some differences.

I started with the official active_scaffold in the rails 2.x days, eventually moved to volker's fork because it had rails 3.0 support, and then migrated back to the official repo when I upgraded to rails 3.1. In my opinion the official repo is the way to go.

In my experience, a lot of the little things that are different about volker's fork were documented in his blog: http://vhochstein.wordpress.com/

The first sentence of readme is

** For all documentation see the project website: http://github.com/vhochstein/active_scaffold/wiki **

Thanks, I forgot changing it when I copy volker's changes for rails 3

Hi Sergio,

Can you verify this too? The README and installation command mentioned vho's version.

Readme is wrong.
The official gem comes from activescaffold repo, not volker's one. Maybe volker's one works fine too, but i've used the gem's one and works flawless in production environment.

Docs updated, thanks
