How can I integrate a custom theme like https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/inspinia-responsive-admin-theme-WB0R5L90S into a Rails ActiveAdmin project? Is this even possible?
I think you can try already build themes which are only for active-admin rails by this you can achieve great UI for active-admin. These are easy to implement, just go through this link https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin/wiki/Themes

I have a rails app, and I want to create the Admin interface but I DON'T want to use ActiveAdmin gem.
We are using Zurb Foundation, and I want to use this bootstrap admin theme.
I have two questions:
Is it possible to use 2 different skins themes in a rails app? So for example I want to render a different theme for all the routes with the namespace /admin. If possible, how to do this?
If the above is possible would it have issues since the main theme is on Zurb Foundation and the admin theme is on Bootstrap?
It would require two layouts, each would point to it's own css. The frameworks won't overlap and should work fine.
I have been doing UI research and have come across admin templates at http://themeforest.net/. I was wondering how do you apply these onto a web app built on Rails. These templates look very similar to wordpress themes. Are they that easy to configure? Is it just as simple as setting up a link to the database to make the fields form capture data? I've been looking at this theme.
For admin templates I recommend using Active Admin. It's relatively easy to implement and gives you great admin screens with little effort.
Yes, You can. I'm trying to solve the same problem and so far I have a couple options:
1.) do it by hand, I've done this before, it works but takes a lot of time to truly understand how your theme is put together. First I would recommend using the included themes assets exactly as they are bundled with the theme. Don't assume that just because you have twitter-bootstrap-rails gem that the bootstrap classes in the theme will work. Link the assets statically and slowly extract out the static assets and replace them in the asset pipeline once you know they work.
2.) Use the strategy suggested in the install_theme gem (http://drnicwilliams.com/2009/10/06/install-any-html-themetemplate-into-your-rails-app/) the gem itself is not maintained any longer (i'm not sure about any forks), but the strategy is sound. Extract the core parts of the template into partials.
The short answer is yes, but there is no straight forward way to "import to rails"
I am using Ruby on Rails 3.1 and I would like to add tag functionalities to my web application.
Do you advice to use a plugin\gem? If so, what plugin\gem do you advice to use?
acts-as-taggable-on is an universal solution for tags implentation in Rails.
There are plenty. Checkout ruby-toolbox for options.
I'm a developer and not a designer. I'm not looking for something fancy just basic but nice styling.
I used Nifty Generator before which generates some styling but I was looking for something different. Maybe different Themes that automatically styles forms/colors of the app.
Any ideas?

Twitter Bootstrap for Rails gem is a great way to build apps that look professionally designed. Built by #mdo and #fat at Twitter they made it so they could create great looking rapid prototypes. You can learn more about Bootstrap here: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/
Highly recommended.

Web App Theme is skinnable, you can download additional themes for it too. There are examples and links on the github page.
I have been using tinyMce_hammer plugin to use tinymce in my rails app... but right now I also want a way for my users to upload photos and insert them into their wysiwyg editor.... is there a simple way to get this done??.. is there any other wysiwyg editor that works with rails and comes with this feature built in??... what do you reccomend?
These two plugins claim to offer it - Rails 2.3 - https://github.com/andreferraro/rails_tiny_mce
Rails 3 - https://github.com/sandipransing/rails_tiny_mce
I don't think there's an easy way to do this in any of the common rich text editors. I usually have a separate section where users can upload photos and then choose from a variety of layout options.
TinyMCE has a couple of commercial image and file management plugins, but they are based on PHP and .Net. However, I haven't seen a Rails version. It's not particularly hard to build your own image manager using a plugin like paperclip and hook into TinyMCE.
