Neil,

We used this blog post to create a rake task to both check for any deprecations and also to rename all views from .rhtml to .html.erb.

Also, I’ve submitted a patch to simple sidebar for adding Rails 2.0 support:

Neil,

We’re using the plugin with Rails 2.0, but we haven’t renamed all the partials. That’s because we wrote the majority of the code for 1.2.3 and just recently updated.

Has anyone tried this plugin with the new file extensions in Rails 2.0? Partials appended with .html.erb don’t seem to work for me – I had to revert to rhtml.

Nice write up. Thanks.

One note, I would argue that the job of the controller is to return the proper view. In the case of this plugin and non standard layouts, the controller determines which to use based on the request criteria. Other frameworks handle the overlap between the View and the Controller with a Presenter (and you can emulate that in rails), but within Rails’s paradigm, this does conform to MVC.

I have a couple of questions with this plugin:
1)how to tune the look of sidebar links?
2)how to make nested sidebars? (close or expand maybe)
Thank you very much for any help!

Great right up I actually found the plugin about five minutes before I found this post and thanks cause it answered some of the questions I had in order to get the plugin functioning correctly on my app. Any way thank for the great articles and tutorials they have helped me a lot enough to bookmark the site as a reference.
