Hardcoded Table Names
The ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix and suffix stuff doesn't work because you use hardcoded table names in the code. So you can't overwrite the prefix and/or suffix in the environment.rb for multiple installations in one database. The simplest patch is to add #{ActiveRecord::Base.table_name_prefix}hardcoded_table_name in the places where you use it. I haven't tested all functions of Devalot so I can't submit a proofed patch up to now.

Because a webspace may have only one database and there could be multiple domains and web apps. So if devalot uses a table users there can't be any other app with another table users. For this ActiveRecord has the feature to set a table prefix and suffix.
Okay, after I get a few more things in place, I'll go back and audit the code and get those table names removed.

Why would you want to run more than one copy of Devalot inside the same database instance?
