Exposition

Guide

Configuration is the same as a typical installation of a Rails Engine.

Setup

• Create new Rails app
• Include the Exposition gem by adding gem 'exposition' to your Gemfile
• Mount the engine by adding mount Exposition::Engine, at: "/blog" to the routes file. You can also mount the engine to your project's root by adding mount Exposition::Engine, at: "/" instead.
• Install the migrations by running rake exposition:install:migrations
• Run the migrations rake db:migrate
• Add an admin user by using the Rails console rails exposition:create_user
• Set the values in the en.yml file to your liking

Customization

Frontend styles and markup are where you would expect them to be. So:

• app/views/layouts/exposition/application.html.haml
• app/views/exposition

Admin styles and markup are in the Admin namespace. So:

• app/assets/stylesheets/exposition/admin
• app/views/layouts/exposition/admin.html.haml
• app/views/exposition/admin

You can override these by creating the same files and directory in your app. From there you can customize them however you like

Static Pages

I recommend using High Voltage.

Deployment

You can deploy the app however you like, but I like Heroku. Especially their hobby plan. To deploy on Heroku:

• git push heroku master
• heroku run rake db:setup
• Create your admin user in the console.
• heroku run rails console
• rails exposition:create_user
• heroku open
