Spree Essential Blog Build Status

A complete blogging solution for Spree Commerce with multiple-blogs, archives, categories, tags, disqus comments and related products.

This extension relies on spree_essentials for it's editor, uploads admin and tab in the admin.


Installation

If you don't already have an existing Spree site, click here then come back later... You can also read the Spree docs here...

Otherwise, follow these steps to get up and running with spree_essential_blog:

First, add spree_essential_blog to your Gemfile... it hasn't been released to Rubygems yet so we'll grab it from git.

# Spree 1.1.x
gem 'spree_essential_blog', :git => 'git://github.com/citrus/spree_essential_blog.git', :branch => 'master'

# Spree 1.0.x
gem 'spree_essential_blog', :git => 'git://github.com/citrus/spree_essential_blog.git', :branch => '1.0.x'

# Spree 0.70.x
gem 'spree_essential_blog', '~> 0.1.0'

# Spree 0.60.x
gem 'spree_essential_blog', :git => 'git://github.com/citrus/spree_essential_blog.git', :branch => '0.60.x'

Run the generators to create the migration files.

rails g spree_essentials:install
rails g spree_essentials:blog

Now migrate your database...

rake db:migrate

Boot your server and checkout the admin!

rails s

Sample Posts

If you'd like some sample posts, just use the rake command from your project:

rake db:sample:blog

Note: if you receive identify: command not found errors please ensure ImageMagick is installed.


Testing

Clone this repo to where you develop, bundle up, then run dummier to get the show started:

git clone git://github.com/citrus/spree_essential_blog.git
cd spree_essential_blog
bundle install
bundle exec dummier

This will generate a fresh rails app in test/dummy, install spree & spree_essential_blog, then migrate the test database. Sweet.

Now run the tests with:

rake

Demo

You can easily use the test/dummy app as a demo of spree_essential_blog. Just cd to where you develop and run:

git clone git://github.com/citrus/spree_essential_blog.git
cd spree_essential_blog
cp test/dummy_hooks/after_migrate.rb.sample test/dummy_hooks/after_migrate.rb
bundle install
bundle exec dummier
cd test/dummy
bundle exec rails s

Setup is complete. Open localhost:3000/blog in your browser to see your posts.
