Just Another Blog Engine

What is this?

Jabe is a bare bones blogging engine that is installed as a gem. It will grow as its needs do.

Basic TODOs

Installing

Edit your Gemfile and add the required gems

gem 'devise'
gem 'friendly_id', '3.1.8'
gem 'formtastic', '>= 1.2.3.beta'
gem 'gravtastic'
gem 'haml', '>= 3.0.23'
gem 'haml-rails'
gem 'jabe'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'RedCloth'
gem 'sass', '>= 3.1.0.alpha.206'

From your rails root

bundle install
rails plugin install http://github.com/defunkt/acts_as_textiled.git
rails g devise:install
rails g jabe:migrations
rake db:migrate
rm app/views/layouts/*

edit settings

Deploying on Heroku

There are a couple changes you need to make to deploy on Heroku.

• In produciton.rb set config.serve_static_assets = true
• Add an initializer for Sass config/initializers/zz-sass.rb
  Sass::Plugin.options[:never_update] = true
• Generate the stylesheets
  rails g jabe:stylesheets

Development setup

• fork it
• clone it
• cd jabe/test/dummy
• bundle install
• rake

If all the features pass you are good to go.
