Got the error ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method ‘extract_options!’ for [{:limit=>40}]:array on line #1 of app/views/front/index.dryml:
1:

searching through the source that the plugin contains, I see no declaration for extract_options, but plenty of calls to it.

Is there an “in progress” change being made so that all those calls to args.extractoptions! are becoming extractoptionsfromargs! ?

I have not installed the will_paginate plugin… which comes to mind because of the “:limit => 40″ part of the error.

What also drives me a bit crazy: When running the hobo command, it clears the screen so often, that I cannot see, whats going on.

I saw a video presentation of hobo from one of the rails conferences and was quite interested in hobo, but it seems, as if it cannot be used by someone, who is not involved in the development of hobo.

PS: One last question: Do I have to use DRYML (what I liked most about rails was: I did not have to learn languages for templates, configuration-files etc.) or can I stay with RHTML.

The comment box thing. That’s just something that came with the wordpress theme, but it is quite useful (I’m using it for this comment). Ty checking it and scrolling up and down in a post with a lot of comments.
