I’m looking for a Wiki Gem for RoR that has:
- basic Wiki features (obviously),
- a history feature on all entries,
- uses MySQL (no SQLite),
- optionally, instead of using articles, we would like to define some fields to use, in a template…
If I had to cite an example of a website using similar kind of features, it would be CrunchBase. It is a wiki-like system, with predefined fields.
Thank you so much for your help!
There is no Wiki gem for Rails, per-se. What you do have are a few gems that will facilitate developing a Wiki much like what you’re looking for here.
For versioning, I would recommend vestal_versions, and for rendering Markdown, I would recommend BlueCloth. Both of these gems have been out for a while, and are quite mature and well tested.
vestal_versions is also DB agnostic, as it piggybacks on ActiveRecord features, so it will work in whatever RDBMS you throw it at.
