with symfony using doctrine is very easy cause its fully integrated into the framework.
i wonder if there is a possibility to integrate solr with symfony too (eg, via plugin?)
thanks
There are at least 2: tjSolrDoctrineBehaviorPlugin and sfSolrPlugin. The second is a fork of the excellent sfLucenePlugin which works with sf1.0 and sf1.1, and although it doesn't have much exposure, it is stable. Check the full README for details of its use.
I wrote an article here to explain how to easyly make a powerfull search engine with symfony : http://leny-bernard.com/en/show/article/un-moteur-de-recherche-ultra-performant, you can ask me some questions on my website with the comment form

I have a Ruby on Rails application and want to include a blog inside the application.
I was wondering what's the best way to do that. I don't want to have a link to an external blog. I want the blog integrated in my application. Also i don't have the time to programm the blog functionality. I want to use existing solutions.
What's the best way to accomplish that? Any recommendations? What are the best solutions?
The best way to include one application within another is by using engines. This might help you Ruby on Rails 3.1 Blog Engines
Perhaps Typo would address your needs installed as a Rails Engine.
Since nobody has done it so far I need to mention here that the spirit of Rails is to make everything friendly enough so that you can code your own.
It's a bit more work but then your blog module fits right in with the rest of the app.
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'am looking for a good Forum plugin running under rails3 ?
If you have any idea, i'll be glad to hear it :)
It's probably quicker to develop your own than to adapt and upgrade one of the existing Rails forums. There aren't many Rails forum projects as compared to PHP (for example), as it's generally pretty quick to write your own, depending on how many features you need. :)
I started to develop one too in rails 3. It's going to be similar to Wordpress Ideas. Right now i have build the user part with devise and integrated angularjs. I just started. If you are interested in contributing you can find it here: https://github.com/Chocksy/opiniodev-rails-app
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
What is the preferred method of implementing the OpenSocial platform? I'm aware of Apache Shindig but can't really find any useful information on it. Also, is it possible to use an existing solution like the Rails-based lovdbyless and add OpenSocial features to it?
I've ported shindig over to .NET at http://code.google.com/p/pesta/ and a sample site using it from partuza at http://www.codeplex.com/raya
There seems to be a plugin that someone started, Ruby on Rails, OpenSocial Container plugin 0.1.0, the comments have someone from Apache Shindig suggesting it get rolled into there as the Ruby server implementation.
I also found an article on rolling your own, Google's OpenSocial with Ruby on Rails.
I haven't tried, either, yet.
Even some of the guys on the Shindig team admit that the documentation is very sparse, to the extent that they say the source code is the documentation - and, believe me, there's quite a bit of source code to look at.
The most helpful links I've found are these:
