Anyway, I did not find a lot of documentation about it, and so I did test myself. I created today a gem "app2engine" to convert the skeleton of a Rails app to an Engine. It seems very similar to enginex about the concept. I use the standard path (so app/controllers for controllers), and so I think it is using less configuration stuff. Please have a look at it and file an issue if something goes wrong ;) Benoit Daloze (Sorry for the noise on the Ruby list, I did not find the post on rubyonrails-talk)

Yeah this one works. Enginex probably also works, but I simply don't understand how to use it. > I use the standard path (so app/controllers for controllers), and so I > think it is using less configuration stuff. > > Please have a look at it and file an issue if something goes wrong ;) Great it works, thanks!
