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
I develop a Rails 3 Item & Content Managament called Opal, which may be interesting to some. Here's more info:
repo: http://github.com/hulihanapplications/Opal
site: http://www.hulihanapplications.com/projects/opal
demo: http://opal.demos.hulihanapplications.com
login: admin/admin
locomotiveCMS and BrowserCMS both work in Rails 3

I am currently working on a 7 year old project which is running on Rails 2.3. Are there any CMS's similar to Refinery CMS or Active Admin that still run on this version of Rails?
I'd prefer to use a gem like Refinery or Active Admin rather than creating one myself.
We've used RadiantCMS in our 2.3.x Rails apps, give that a try.
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.

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.
I am looking for NEW Ruby on Rails resource websites (Screencasts, Tutorials, etc) some of what I found are Outdated. So for Ruby on Rails 3.X please.
I have:
http://railscasts.com/
http://railsforzombies.org (witch is...AWESOME, a kick-start)
http://railsapi.com/doc/rails-v3.0.1/
I'd recommend newer Railscasts and great RailsGuides.
I've been reading the RailsTutorial for Rails 3 and think it's amazing.
http://railstutorial.org/
If you have an existing Rails app to upgrade, you'll probably also want to check out Jeremy McAnally's Rails 3 Upgrade
Handbook.
Peepcode are good too. Not a free resource

I have been developing in rails for the past 1.5 years .. however , I feel my code is not upto the mark , and I still dont fully utilize all that Ruby and Rails have to offer .
I have gone through all the material that is available on the guide site , and have incorporated that in my code . However , every time I see someone else's code , I find out new things about the language like idiomatic syntax etc . I was wondering if there are some really good code samples of rails that people can refer which would help me speed up my progress in rails . It can be anything , like some open source plugin or a app that has really high code standards .
You can start from GitHub. There are tons of Rails plugins and apps available.
Here's just a few examples:
GemCutter
Spree
Fat Free CMS
Insoshi
Plugin authors
Thoughtbot
Ryan Bates
Bynarylogic
Joshua Peek
My favorite and commonly used gem/ Rails plugin is will_paginate. Pagination is pretty common in any web applications.
will_paginate is hosted on GitHub. It works as a standard gem.
If you want to learn about Rails plugin development including how to read the code, you might want to read Plugin Patterns in Rails 2.
Have a look at Mephisto, a blogging platform written in Rails: http://mephistoblog.com/
