Do I need Devise and CommunityEngine on the same app?

Question

I'm building a new social site in Rails(4), and want to use some of the social networking features available in CommunityEngine. Do I also need to add Devise for signups, or does CommunityEngine now have that capability too?

At this time I'm not offering Omniauth configuration through Fb or Twitter, g+ and so on.

I'm open to any additional recommendations you might have as well. Thanks!

Answer 1

i will suggest you to use devise for signin/signout/password management etc and community engine to handle the applications community functions such as blog,posts,profile management,user upload and comments..lets keep authentication seperate because community gem is made for enabling social functions not authentication which is a secoondry function or add-on ..so you can go ahead and use devise for authentication and community gem seperately hence keeping both modules seperate and they both work hand in hand without any probs
