There doesn't appear to be any recent information about using Open ID in Ruby on Rails... the only walkthroughs that I can find do not work anymore. Does anyone know of a walkthrough or documentation that will actually work with modern versions of ruby on rails and required software?
I've been struggling with this for days and cannot make anything work.
This screencast is well done and fairly recent (july 2009):
Railscast on openid with authlogic
I found the early OpenID Railscast (68) really useful when I implemented OpenID, as well as Dan Webb's guide.

What are some good rails 3 tutorials for implementing Authlogic? The example listed on github is quite outdated and while the Railscast example does a great job of explaining everything it is beginning to show its age.
I've heard mixed reviews about devise but after installing it, watching several railscasts on its capabilities, and going through the tutorials I've decided to stick with it.
Try devise, its a lot simpler :)
I have been searching a lot on the net to get facebook-connect integrated with authlogic in rails3. There are a number of solutions based on facebooker, oauth etc. but none of them seem to say anything on whether they work with rails 3 or not. Can anyone guide to me on how to get facebook-connect working with authlogic in "rails3". I see that there are a lot of questions related to this on the site but none seems to have actually answered the question.
I strongly recommend you to use http://www.janrain.com/products/engage with this gem https://github.com/tardate/authlogic_rpx. This combo works amazing with two of my projects and it is free if you only want to use authentication (like in my case).
PS. look at railscast: http://railscasts.com/episodes/233-engage-with-devise. I know that, this podcast show how to use Janrain with Devise, but it helped me with Authlogic so it also can help you.
Are there any updated tutorials for using OpenID with Authlogic? I'd heard good things about Authlogic, and the documentation makes it seem much better than Restful Authentication... but in trying to implement OpenID, 100% of the tutorials and information I've come across have been outdated (including Railscast #170). They depend on gems that either no longer work or no longer exist. And to add to the frustration, Github has been down for hours today.
Does anyone know of a simple updated guide to get OpenID working with Authlogic? Thanks!
The solution (if you're on Rails 2.3.8 like I am) is to use older versions of pretty much everything. I fond this app and simply copied the versions of the gems they were using: https://github.com/holden/authlogic_openid_selector_example. That meant using the authlogic_openid plugin rather than the gem form.
Things worked well after that.
Can you great and knowledgable programmers please point me to some current and updated Ruby/Rails blogs/sites? I am also looking for an active forum for lively discussions on ruby/rails.
I already tried to google for them but as I already mentioned on SO, many of the links on google seem to be to sites that are no longer updated.
New website that started for rails developers: http://railsdeveloper.com/
Great blogs are: http://railstips.org/, http://railstutorial.org/
mislav created a cool tool at GoGaRuCo called explain ruby: http://explainruby.net/
screencasts: http://teachmetocode.com/screencasts/
I've found the following to be very useful:
Online forum: railsforum
IRC (instant answers): irc://irc.freenode.net/#rubyonrails
Video tutorials: railscasts
If you can't watch online videos: asciicasts
Rails Community page would be a nice start point for you.
I prefer RailsGuides and for asking questions and lively discussions I use SO (it is a great site, if you still don't use it, you should give it a try!)
For Ruby blog aggregators, there are ruby-blogs.com and rubycorner.com.
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.
