thelastagency/spree-blogging-spree

Basic blog + news archive functionality for Spree E-Commerce app.

This fork updates extension to work with Spree 1.0 and Rails 3.2.

It also adds the ability to have multiple images per blog post.

BloggingSpree

Originally forked from paulcc/spree-blog, this extension intends to offer a more complete blogging solution for use within the Spree E-Commerce application. It currently consists of a blog, news archive, and a news archive widget written in jQuery.

See the issue tracker for future plans.

Note about Rich Text Editors

Seems to be a lot of disagreement about which Rich Text Editor to include, if any. No need to fork just to include your favorite. Thanks to Deface, if you want TinyMCE for instance, just unroll the package in /app/assets/javascripts/admin and add an override like so

Deface::Override.new(:virtual_path => "spree/layouts/admin",
                     :name => "tinymce_tag",
                     :insert_bottom => "[data-hook='admin_footer_scripts']",
                     :text => %(
                     
                     <%= javascript_include_tag "/assets/admin/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js","/assets/admin/tiny_mce/jquery.tinymce.js"    %>

                     <script type="text/javascript"> 
                       /* fire up the TinyMCE */
                       $(document).ready(function() {
                         $('.editor').tinymce();
                       });
                     </script>),

                     :disabled => false)

Testing

Build status: d'oh!

• shoulda
• factory_girl
• Spork

The included test_helper.rb is configured for use with Spork due to Spree's extended loading time.

Following the lead of the Spree development team, all tests have been converted to shoulda from RSpec.
