I was used to use acts_as_paranoid for logical deletion. But it doesn't support latest rails version. I want to search popular plugin for it. And not only for logical deletion, for user authentication (Devise), file upload (paperclip) and so on.
Does anyone know the useful site for searching popular rails plugin?
Thank you!
I think it's what you are looking for https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/

I'm looking for some kind of reputation system that allows you to up and down vote posts, and I cam across mongoid_voteable which looks like a good resource, except it doesn't work for rails 4.
Does anybody know any alternative gem, that allows you to do this whilst using mongoid?
I have used this gem (this version from the github repo) in a Rails 4 application.

I need to add a customer support function to an existing Rails 3 app. I want to enable the users to submit a support ticket and answer back and fourth until the issue is resolved. I am currently using Zendesk.
Does anyone have any knowledge of something I can use? Or should I just develop it myself?

So you essentially want to be able to create a system to manage issues? Checkout Redmine. It has the ability to manage issues. However, I'm pretty sure that the way it looks isn't the way you want yours to look.
You can lift the generic code from Redmine and apply it to your app. I doubt you'll find a gem that does all the magic for you the way you want it to look and act, so you'll need to do programming.
I haven't tried this. I saw it listed on Open Source Help Desk List where both Redmine and Big Help are mentioned. I am also looking for a help desk gem and stumbled upon your question here.
Big Help: A help desk portal built with Ruby on Rails
Can someone give me some links to a maybe guide or to a symfony plugin, for voting system.
Thanks.
This is a star rating system plugin for Symfony. I am not sure if you are looking for a polling system or a voting system.
http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/mpStarRatingPlugin
I have not tested this.
I am not aware of any polling plugins for the latest version of symfony.
What would be useful to know is what type of voting you need, as there may be good solutions that you can incorporate into your Symfony project easily, such as this Jquery star rating, which will take care of making the frontend implementation pretty.
I've been looking on Github for a Rails project that allows anyone to sign in and add a blog entry.
Has anyone seen something like this?
TYPO is a blogging platform that uses Ruby on Rails:
https://github.com/fdv/typo/wiki looks to have the capability for multiple authors.
The article here gives a good overview of several other RoR blogging platforms that are out there.
IMHO this is quite easy to make. Especially if you use the twitter-auth gem. Just sign-in with your twitter account, write a post and be done with it.
I'm looking for a Rails plugin that eases the development of a "friends" system or social networking system for the latest versions of Ruby on Rails.
Before anyone says it...I know, I should probably create it myself, from scratch. And I am fully capable of this (I think). I'm just looking for a good plugin that can a.) make life a bit easier for me and b.) give me some ideas for reference.
I tried to make my own authentication system, and did what I thought was okay, but then I switched to restful_authentication and realized how poor my system was in comparison.
Thanks in advance...
U might wanna try Community Engine
from the website
CommunityEngine is a free, open-source
social network plugin for Ruby on
Rails applications. Drop it into your
new or existing application, and
you’ll instantly have all the features
of a basic community site.
it uses engines, easy to change layouts or do modifications
real world example - http://www.weebabystuff.com/
another option I know is Insoshi as Chuck posted
updated : look at this blogpost http://jimneath.org/2008/04/25/building-a-social-network-site-in-rails/
-- Ed :) --
You could look into http://lovdbyless.com/
This is a free open-source Rails social networking app which should give you plenty of ideas and pointers.

You HAVE to see this railscasts video.
try acts_as_network plugin
The only one I know of is Insoshi. I haven't used it myself, but it sounds like that's what you're looking for.
I would recommend using OpenID library for rails to handle authentication.
On top of what others have said, there's also acts_as_network. The bonus of this one is that it's a pure plugin (doesn't require engines). Not having to worry about engines is a huge plus. The downside, of course, is that it's not a full fledged social network. It's just a friending plugin for models.
You might want to checkout the Amistad gem. It looks pretty simple and it supports both Mongoid and Active Record.
For avatars i would use avatar and try will-paginate for pagination. other then that i love can_serach to make it alot easier to search in the database.
You should also look at the other gems by technoweenie. There is alot of great stuff there that can help you
I've just been researching this myself and chosen to go with Bort & CommunityEngine
Bort because I am familiar with it already and it provides all you need in user authentication and basic application functionality. Community Engine because it is an Engines based plugin and some aspects of Engines are being merged into Rails 2.3 so I know what I learn will continue to be useful and because CommunityEngine seems more modular while lovedbyess and Insoshi seem more like complete applications and I suspect it would likely be more work to disentangle the features I want from the ones I don't. However, take that with a huge grain of salt since it is just based on high-level quick browse initial impressions.
If you just want an activity feed then there is the activity streams plugin
