This is so awsome

@Grant: I’d use Radiant

Dr Nic,

I love what you have done with install theme. I have tried it a few times and it works well. I need to ask though, is there a cms that you can suggest that you use your install them with that does not require too much modification to get the theme to work?

Thanks for all the hard work.

Phenomenal work! Thanks Dr. Nic. This worked perfectly as described. It took me a few minutes to figure out the correct params and to modify my template accordingly, but that’s to be expected, and I’m very happy with the results.

I’ll be in Sydney for WebDU in a couple of weeks, any chance you may make an appearance?

The thoughtbot-shoulda gem is no longer being mentioned in the code. Can you post a stdout dump of your “gem install rubigen” output to the Issues tracker? That’d be great, thanks!

It seems that the error is still occurring on version 1.5.4. I can find the plugin on github, but I can’t find the thoughtbot-shoulda gem.

I’ve fixed rubigen now in 1.5.4 so that error should go. Sorry about that.

Dr Nic,

I watched your comedy on Youtube, its hilarious. But, its probably more applicable to south Africa where I am from. You need to literally shove baggage down the front to your shirt or it disappears.

On another note. I am having this error on a hosting server that wont let me install install_theme.

ERROR: Error installing install_theme:
rubigen requires thoughtbot-shoulda (>= 2.10.2, runtime)

Would you know how to solve it? I am at a loss. I install shoulda gem but it still gives me the same error.

Thanks for the great solution. Use in on my development servers all the time, although I am still new to rails and ruby.
