Altered Beast

The popular rails-based Beast forum, rewritten from the ground up with the same database and views.

  • full i18n (with German and English support)
  • updated for Rails 2.3.3
  • using rspec/model_stubbing
  • added a state machine for user logins
  • built-in multi-site support
  • spam protection from akismet/viking
  • forum authorization rules (public/private/invitation)
  • email and atom feed support
  • xml/json API (not 100% tested yet, fixing soon)
  • highline based easy console installer
  • internationalization via the I18n framework

Check out the code via git: 

    git clone git://github.com/courtenay/altered_beast.git
