Goldberg

Updated 9/30/09

Should run on rails 2.3.4 (haven’t had a problem). Password are now encrypted using Sha512. Credit to authlogic (using the same algorithm). Older Sha1 passwords will be automagically updated on next login. Take a look at lib/goldberg/crypto_pass_sha512.rb vs lib/goldberg/crypto_pass_sha1.rb if your curious about the diff.

Prerequisites Rails >= 2.2 (gem install rails) RedCloth (gem install RedCloth)

Usage

This is an example of how you would set up a Rails website that you plan to manage with git, with Goldberg as a submodule.

        $ rails mysite
        $ cd mysite
        $ git init
        $ git submodule add git://github.com/lardawge/goldberg.git vendor/plugins/goldberg

We’re skipping some steps, like appropriate .gitignore entries for your log/ directory and others—that’s up to you.

Set up your config/database.yml appropriately then continue…

        $ rake goldberg:install
        $ rake goldberg:theme[snooker]

The first command above will bootstrap your Goldberg environment, including migrating and populating your database with a default setup.

The second runs a little bit of generator code to put Goldberg’s assets (images, stylesheets, javascripts) into public/ and to put a default application.html.erb into your site. Available themes include “ewnf”, “goldberg”, “snooker” and “spoiled_brat”.

And that’s it: now you should be ready to run script/server and use your site.
