Iris

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/iris. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'iris_rails'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install iris_rails

After installing, run the genereator provided by the gem:

rails generate iris:install 

The generator creates an initializer file and default controllers and views:

|-- app
    |-- controllers
        |-- iris_rails
            |-- base_controller.rb
            |-- posts_controller.rb
    |-- views
        |-- iris_rails
            |-- posts
                |-- index.html.erb
                |-- show.html.erb
    |-- helpers
        |-- meta_tags_helper.rb

|-- config
    |-- initializers
        |-- iris_rails.rb
|-- lib
    |-- iris_rails.rb

It also adds routes to your routes.rb file:

    scope :module => 'iris_rails' do
      get '/blog' => 'posts#index', :as => :iris_blog
      get '/blog/:slug' => 'posts#show', :as => :iris_post
    end

After running the generator, set your API token in config/initializers/iris_rails.rb

Extending and customizing your blog is easy.

Define in app/controllers/iris_rails/base_controller.rb the layout you will use. If you have some verifications the page, make sure to copy them to IrisRails::BaseController.

Iris_Rails uses a helper method to define title, meta tags (meta title, meta description and meta keywords) and use CSS with the template defined in iris website (iriseo.com). Make sure you select the template in iris.com/settings so your blog has a nice look! Add the lines below to the layout you will use and and set title and meta tags of your website.

iris_meta_tags(head_title: 'INSERT_WEBSITE_TITLE', meta_description: 'INSERT_WEBSITE_META_DESCRIPTION', meta_keywords: 'INSERT_WEBSITE_META_KEYWORDS', meta_author: 'INSERT_WEBSITE_META_AUTHOR')

Insert your website title in INSERT_WEBSITE_TITLE, meta_description in INSERT_WEBSITE_META_DESCRIPTION, meta_keywords in INSERT_WEBSITE_META_KEYWORDS and meta_author in INSERT_WEBSITE_META_AUTHOR. Don't create a tag with these attributes if you are using the method iris_meta_tags because duplicated attributes lower the SEO score. If you don't have these attributes, just leave it as a whitespace.

Now start your server and to view your blog just access YOUR_URL/blog. Reminder, you have to add posts to your blog in Iris website www.iriseo.com.
