Agile Web Development

This plugin is a generator that will allow you to do some very "crude" administering of your application from a web interface. Install the plugin, generate a model and controller, and hook it up to your already rock solid authentication system and you're ready to rock. See instructions below for the full install.

What you can use it for

You can execute queries directly against the database. (Be careful!) You can also run rake tasks. (YMMV) Finally, you can just get some information about the environment that your application lives in.

Where you can get it

For those of you who cannot be bothered with detailed instructions:

ruby script/plugin install fosterite http://svn.devjavu.com/grokblok/rails/plugins/fosterite
ruby script/generate fosterite MODELNAME [CONTROLLERNAME]
rake db:migrate

Controller name is not required, but I'd recommend it. Also, you'll need to add a couple of snippets in your environment.rb file. Put this before the initializer call:

 $APPLICATION_NAME = "[Insert your app's name]"

and put this in the initializer call:

 $LOG_PATH = config.log_path

For those that can be bothered, navigate on over to the Trac for more instructions and support.
