This is a mountable gem that add a presentation layer to acts_as_commentable.

Mount this gem into your app to automatically have access to screens that list and create comments on any of your resources. Those screen will be inserted in your current app layout. You can call the routes of the gem with ajax passing a parent div where you want the response to ben inserted.

Note that the presentation layer is based on bootstrap.

Also note that you must have acts_as_commentable installed and declared in your desired resources.

Add the following line to your Gemfile

gem 'commenteux'

Mount the commenteux gem in your routes:

mount Commenteux::Engine => "/"

The routes that will be available are :

GET  /commenteux/:resource/:resource_id(.:format)            commenteux/notes#index
GET  /commenteux/:resource/:resource_id/new(.:format)        commenteux/notes#new
POST /commenteux/:resource/:resource_id(.:format)            commenteux/notes#create
GET    /commenteux/:resource/:resource_id/:id/edit(.:format) commenteux/notes#edit
PATCH  /commenteux/:resource/:resource_id/:id(.:format)      commenteux/notes#update
DELETE /commenteux/:resource/:resource_id(.:format)          commenteux/notes#destroy {:format=>:js}

where :resource is the name of your model (you can use namespace)

Add acts_as_commentable in your model who will have comments

acts_as_commentable :private, :public

:private, :public are a example if specific role needed.

By default, only the user with admin role can modify or delete a comment. You can add others rights into your ability class.

if @user.has_role?(:admin_shipment)
  can :manage, Comment
end

//= require commenteux/application

#= require commenteux/application

Call url of commenteux screens, for exemple, like that:

<%= link_to "<i class='icon-file-text text-blue'></i> Notes".html_safe,
              "/commenteux/client::contract/#{@contract.id}?parent_div=ajax_target&roles=public,private&display_list_notes=true",
              :id => "notes_tab", :data => {:remote => true} %>

where roles is obligated when specific roles are declared in the model. Parameter display_list_notes is optional. The gem will set by default to true. Provides the ability to hide the list of comments in the index page if the parameter is false.

With a binding like that in your application.js

$(document).delegate '#notes_tab', 'ajax:success', (e, data, status, xhr) ->
  $('.tab_header').removeClass('active')
  $('#notes_tab_header').addClass('active')
  $('#ajax_target').html(xhr.responseText)

If specific roles of acts_as_commentable are declared in model, declare their labels under en: like

en:
  public: "Administrator"
  private: "Delivery man"
