Moving to Rails 2.0 or above will break Comatose 0.8.1 (the latest as of this writing), but luckily it’s very easy to fix. In order to get running again, all you need to do is install two plugins that used to be part of Rails core:
script/plugin install http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/acts_as_list/ script/plugin install http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/acts_as_tree/
Once again, a great big thanks to Matt McCray for putting out such a useful plugin.
Yax over at Dungeon Mastering recently put together his list of the top 50 (now 52) RPG websites out there. Coming out of nowhere, Obsidian Portal shows up at #13. Of course, he readily admits that his rankings are totally biased, but that makes it worth even more to me. Rather than trying to quantify why Obsidian Portal is any good, users just like it.
Anyways, thanks Yax for the link and knowing that we exist!
The built in Rails tools for selecting dates are adequate, but just barely. Most people are used to ticking dates off on calendars rather than choosing from a bunch of pulldown menus for year, month, day, and so on. Still, I’m lazy so that’s still what I’m using in most places.
Luckily, today I found a decent list of several date pickers. I haven’t tried any of them out yet, but any one of them would surely give Obsidian Portal a bit of a usability boost.
