I’ve been working on a really generic ROR user interface. (It’s all part of an alumni system I’m making for my high school graduating class.) I’m going to be going into a few tutorials over the next week or so on how to set it up and understand what’s happening. I know that there are some books out there already (Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmers’ Guide being a great starting point and also Ruby on Rails: Up and Running) Here are some of the features that I’ll share (in no particular order):
- registration with validation
- user list with: viewing of profiles, denotation of admins
- updating personal profile and deleting profile
- updating password with old password validation
- login/out functions
- and perhaps more…
Eventually I’ll add some other cool features, like adding an events and posting announcements — those will come in the long term (so don’t sit up waiting for them).
Here comes some more tutorials into one cool system — which I’m making as we go along.
Matthew,
I’m looking foward to see how you set everything up with this.
Sounds pretty rad.

[...] As I mentioned before, I’m going to work on publishing a ROR User System Tutorial (RoRUST for short) that will let you create a fully managed user system. People will be able to login, edit profiles, create admins, and much more. I’m very excited to share some wisdom back to the community. So, here we go! [...]
