03/Jun/09 2:00 PM Jason, I'm in the middle of installing BL in a fresh rails application for the first time. I'd say the instructions are wrong in several places and we need some serious work on this, so I'm going to get on it ASAP.
Anyway, once I got things up and running, I had no load issues. No errors with the controllers, etc. Did you remove application_controller.rb from the main rails app?
Also, do you have
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '../vendor/plugins/engines/boot')
above the initializer and
config.gem 'authlogic'
config.plugin_paths += ["#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/blacklight/vendor/plugins"]
config.plugins = %W(engines blacklight acts_as_taggable_on_steroids resource_controller)
inside?
before_filter :activate_authlogic
In my controllers seems to have solved this issue from cropping up occasionally.
