Plugins by Rick Olson

• Acts as Authenticated

  Acts As Authenticated is a simple authentication generator plugin for Ruby on Rails.

• Acts as versioned

  This library adds simple versioning to an ActiveRecord module. ActiveRecord is required.

• Sentry

  Wrapper around undocumented OpenSSL functions, providing symmetric and asymmetric encryption for active record attributes.

• Acts as attachment

  Allows you to specify that a model accepts file uploads and stores the necessary meta info (filename, size, etc).

• Acts as Draftable

  Allows a model to save certain attributes into a smaller drafts table. These are meant to be temporary modifications until the actual model is saved. This is very similar to Acts as Versioned.

• Acts As Paranoid
