xforum

= Xforum This is a javascript dependent forum that is relatively light weight. It's unique feature is that it supports multiple language posting and ask the user community to translate the various posting from other users.

You'd be a bit crazy to use it now at v.0000000001 since this is my first attempt:)

usage include gem 'xforum' in you gem file

bundle install

in your config/routes mount Xforum::Engine => '/xforum', as: 'xforum'

To use as a partial in you page

In application.js //= require xforum/application.js in application.css (or css.scss) *= require xforum/application.css.scss

<%= t('Forum')%> add this javascript so we can hide the area you want hidden when the forum is up

function showPageName() { "use strict"; return 'the-ID-of-div-to-hide'; }

you have to provide your own translation for the label add this where you want the page to display

<%=render partial: 'xforum/forums/forum' %>

to use as a separate page. Create a link to xforum/forums/the_page

create xforum_init.rb in config/initializers include in it these two lines Xforum.user_class='User' or whatever you user class is e.g. Member Xforum.user_table='users' or whatever you user table is e.g. members

rake xforum:install:migrations

rake db:migrate
