muck-blogs

= Muck Blogs

Add a blog to any object.

== Setup Install the gem: sudo gem install muck-blogs

Then add it to your environment.rb: config.gem "muck-blogs", :lib => 'muck_blogs'

Add tasks to your application's Rakefile: require 'muck_blogs/tasks'

Installing the gem will also install dependencies. Specifically Muck Blogs requires Muck Contents. Be sure to properly configure your application for Muck Contents - http://github.com/tatemae/muck_contents/tree/master == Usage

=== Configuration Add 'enable_post_activities' to global_config.yml to determine whether or not an activity will be added after a user contributes a post. This requires that the application be configured to use Muck Activities. Note that to enable this functionality the content model will need to have enable_post_activities: true

=== Blog model Create a model called blog in your project and add the following: class Blog < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_muck_blog end This let's you override or add other methods to the blog model that you see fit.

=== Content model Muck Blogs requires Muck Contents. Be sure to setup Muck Content then add acts_as_muck_post to your Content model: class Content < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_muck_post # acts_as_activity_source # Include this if you wish to have entries added to activity feeds upon each new post end

=== Attach blogs to a model: For a given model add 'has_muck_blog' class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_muck_blog end For each model that 'has_muck_blog' you will need to setup routing. For a user model this would be: map.resources :users do |users| users.resource :blog, :controller => 'muck/blogs' do |blogs| blogs.resources :posts, :controller => 'muck/posts' end end
