I'm looking for a good admin plugin/gem for a Rails 3 application. I have tested rails_admin and it seems very good. Has anybody used any other plugins for Rails 3.0?
Also has anybody had any issues with rails_admin?
A lot of options, at the moment. Check all of them out here.

I have heard both admin_data and typus are good.
Using Rails Admin too. Never had a problem.

This is my first question here in StackOverflow :)
I've been searching for the best plugin for administrator for my Rails 2.3.11 app.
I can create my own but I have to rush my project so I decided to use these kinds of plugin.
I already searched rails_admin and active_admin. There are both good but I think that's for Rails 3 only. So I need to find some admin plugins for Rails 2.3.11.
Your ideas are much welcome :) Thanks!
Give Typus a try. It works on rails 2.3 and is quite popular, although the author isn't planning on maintaining the 2.3 version anymore.

How do I update to Rails 3.1 ?
I am using windows xp with ruby console.
And is there a smart way to update a rails app from 3.0.3 to 3.1 or do I need to rewrite it all?
This question has a lot of useful information which might help you out: Upgrading from Rails 3 to Rails 3.1
It doesn't answer specifically for Windows, but there's a lot of advice and insight that you'll find useful for the upgrade.
The only advice I can offer on top of reading the answers in the above question is to have a bit of patience and not expect it to work straight away. There's a lot of changes in the way 3.1 works so expect to spend some time fixing it up.
Good luck!
I created one vanilla 3.0 site, added it to Git, then created a vanilla 3.1 site and copied it over the 3.0 site, deleting existing files first. A diff then showed me exactly what changed.
I would strongly recommend this and the following two railscasts in the series
i've been using rails 2 for a project and restful_authentication with it. Recently, i changed that project to rails 3 and i found out about devise, that to my eyes seems a much better solution that restful_authentication.
Therefore, i decided that it would be a good idea to migrate to devise, but it seems that the procedure is pretty tedious and error prone. I would like to ask you if you know of any good resource that describes the procedure, because doing it from scratch is a bit of a hassle.
rails generate devise:install
rails generate devise User
rake db:migrate
That's all there is for now, you get routes and functionality like /users/sign_(in|out|up) from start.
Resources:
Railscasts "Introducing Devise"
Devise Readme
Example application
You can try Migrating from Restful Authentication to Devise, but so far nothing for me. :(
I've seen reports that Facebooker doesn't work with Rails 3. I've noticed that there's a Facebooker2 project, but it doesn't seem to have any documentation and there's no information I can find about its Rails 3 compatibility. Are there any good choices for getting Facebook Connect working with a website built on Rails 3.0.0 (beta4)?
You can see there are some fork about rails 3 in Facebooker. But nothing official.
Rails 3.0.0.beta and Facebooker: anyone else seeing the following?
I typically use rails models and typus as my CMS as it gives the most flexibility, plus typus is just brilliant. I'm starting a new rails 3 app, and typus isn't rails3 compatible yet. I'm looking around for a CMS that'll work in rails 3. I still want to be able to write my views in haml (rather than some custom templating lang) and need total customizability.
In googling, I'm not finding much. Does anyone have any knowledge about something that would fit my needs?
Thanks.
Another CMS starting to rise quickly to fill in the gaps for Rails 3 scene is RefineryCMS - Github
http://locomotivecms.com is one of good CMS
as of yesterday Refinery CMS 0.9.8 supports Rails 3! You can read about the transition to Rails 3.
This makes Refinery CMS the first popular CMS to support Rails 3.
Alchemy CMS works in Rails 3.
The next_stable branch supports Rails 3.1.
Ubiquo supports Rails 3.2 in the edge branch.
You should look into Osmek. With Osmek you can write in any language you'd like, since you interact with your content through an API. Its a revolutionizing concept to content management, and the idea of flexibility.
Lots of helpful Refinery CMS info at http://www.refinerycms.com/guides
Here is a list of almost all Rails 3 CMS. http://bitprison.net/rails3-cms-solutions-2011
