Ubiquo Categories is out!

Hi people!

We're glad to announce the release of our new plugin ubiquo_categories. A little guide reference:

The ubiquo_categories plugin provides a simple mechanism for organize and categorize the content of your website, adding a generic category system for your models and forms.

What this means? A code example:

In your model:



  categorized_with :colors


In your form:



  <%= form.category_selector :colors %>


And you'll get something like this

or if you prefer the "Facebook style"

We've released this with ubiquo_i18n support, a full guide and a complete tests suite.

We have started using it on real projects and the first developer impressions are being very exciting!

A list of releated features:

  • Define generic category sets or complete free sets to categorize your models.
  • Use these categories with only two lines of code, one for the model and other for the views
  • Available smart form selector  with auto_complete and other useful options
  • Provide a built-in filter to search categorized records

This new plugin is available only in the edge branch. So to start playing:



ubiquo my_categories_project --edge


Your feedback will be welcome!
