Any practical advice or experience on integration of tabs_on_rails or tabulous and devise with Twitter Bootstrap? I'm starting a new project and would like to pick a tab navigation gem. I'v started to experiment with formtastic-bootstrap as well.
I created tabulous and would like for it to work well with devise. I recently threw together an example app with tabulous with devise and didn't come across any obvious incompatibilities between the two. If there are any issues with using devise with tabulous I'd like to know about them so that I can fix them.

hello I am new to rails and i have installed rails version 4. I would like to know that I am making project for teacher n students. Can I apply devise gem to both the models teachers and students. The main thing in my project is that both teachers and students sign up form need to be different. Then can anyone tell me the procedure of how to apply devise such that sign up forms can be created differently...
Devise can work for you, but you will have to run through some tutorials. Your request for a complete how-to is too broad for an Stack Overflow question. http://railsapps.github.io/tutorial-rails-devise-rspec-cucumber.html#authorization
You may also want to look at a gem to manage permissions, as Devise is more for authentication. My personal favorite is the_role, but others like cancan very much.
I'm building my first web app, and I've got all these crazy ideas on ways I could handle things like logins/sessions, but I was wondering if anyone has written a really good, thorough description of how logins/sessions work. I've seen tutorials, but I want to know if theres something more abstract that gives the reader a more general idea of how the whole process is handled. My web app is in ruby/sinatra if that's relevant.
Most of the in-depth tutorials for login/authentication from scratch are for Rails unfortunately. I went through the same trouble trying to find Sinatra specific tutorials. I would recommend just checking out the rails oriented tutorials since the knowledge is pretty general and can be applied to Sinatra as well.
These guides from RailsGuides are pretty good for getting an understanding of authentication even though they are Rails specific (read the section on security especially):
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/
Here's an example of a good Sinatra authentication scheme on github (it uses the datamapper gem, but you can easily replace this with any other Ruby ORM):
https://github.com/daddz/sinatra-dm-login
If you aren't as interested in rolling your own, you can also try the sinatra-authentication gem:

I need to add OAuth2 authentication to a Sinatra-based API. No ActiveRecord, no MongoDB... but DataMapper.
Does anybody know what gems I can use to achieve this? I added rack-oauth2-server, but it depends on Mongo. I'm trying to understand rack-oauth2, but there is practically no documentation and I can't see how this is supposed to integrate in a real application that provides oauth authentication. Any well-documented gems out there? (Not Rails gems).
omniauth-oauth2 looked like it would work, but again, there's basically no documentation on how to integrate it. Links to articles that outline integration with these gems would also be useful.
I've been searching all day and just keep going around in circles. I'm sure this is a solved problem.
Why you didn't look at http://rubydoc.info/gems/oauth2/0.7.1/frames?
I got sick of rewriting login forms and user account management pages with the usual use-cases of registering a new account, changing password, changing e-mail, w/ associated e-mails. (This is for clients that won't accept an OAuth/OpenID solution). So I am creating a sample site with Sinatra and Datamapper that contains nothing but those features in their most distilled form.
What I'd like to do is package that site into a gem that someone could drop into an existing app and customize. I think it could get tricky because the app defines its own database and web server. So they would have to be redesigned as mix-ins for a Sinatra::App and Datamapper::Model.
Has anyone else tried this?
I created the Ruby gem "accounts" to provide this functionality for web-apps using Sinatra. It can be cloned or forked at https://github.com/lsiden/accounts.
I am currently working on a rails 3.1 app that is going to be in the wild soon. I need to add captcha's to a couple of the pages (reset password etc). I think I have decided to go with recaptcha's service but I'm stuck trying to decide which gem to use. The two obvious options are:
ambethia / recaptcha: https://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha
and
rack-recapcha https://github.com/achiu/rack-recaptcha
Does anyone have any experience / suggestions as to which works better with rails 3.1?
I'm succesfully using ambethia/recaptcha.
The main thing is neither of them are using the asset pipeline from rails 3.1.
Anyhow ambethia/recaptcha. works fine.
