rit's Issues

Error on /users

If hit "Users" I get:

Unknown action
No action responded to index. Actions: authenticate_admin, create, new, and signed_in_as_admin?

nil issue after creating plate

after rake db:migrate and rake db:seed everything seems fine until i create my first plate, then I get this

ActionView::TemplateError (You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.<=>) on line #5 of app/views/plates/_plate_filter.html.erb:
2:   <%- form_tag plates_path, :class => 'filter-form', :method => :get do -%>
3:   <ul class="plate-name-parts">
4:     <li><%= filter_select "fl", params[:fl], "layout_name" %></li>
5:     <li><%= filter_select "fi", params[:fi], "instance_name" %></li>
6:     <li><%= filter_select "fp", params[:fp], "plate_name" %></li>

How do you use Rit in the wild?

This is rather a list of questions than an issue.

What kind of format do you use for the content? HTML, or some other markup? Do you render it on the Rit's side or on the side of the consuming up?

How do you feel about a dropdown in the edition's form, to select one among several templating engines/renderers? Is that what you had in mind, when you were mentioning some plugin architecture?

Maybe tilt would be a good thing to have a look at here: http://github.com/rtomayko/tilt

Memcache required?

Creating an edition PlatesController#create_plate_edition gives me an error since it can't connect to memcache.

Is there a way to use Rit without memcache, at least in development mode? I can live with a "No", but I would hate to setup memcache on my local machine if it is not absolutely nescesary.

Object creation fails

When creating a Plate or Edition, I get:

NoMethodError (undefined method `first' for #<HashWithIndifferentAccess:0xb6e371d0>):
  lib/parses_plate_edition_parameters.rb:4:in `parse_params'
  ...

This is with Ruby 1.8.6.
