README
Scribd_fu ------------ A Ruby on Rails plugin that streamlines interaction with the Scribd service (scribd.com), and even works with Attachment_fu! What it does ------------ Scribd_fu hides out in the shadows like a document converting ninja, just waiting to process your data into a convenient Flash format (like YouTube) with the help of the black majick of Scribd.com. Imagine imbedding huge documents right inline with your web UI, no downloading, no necessary programs on the client side to view your data. It’s pretty damned cool. Requirements ------------ Scribd_fu requires the wicked awesome Attachment_fu plugin. You probably already have it installed. You also need the rscribd gem (sudo gem install rscribd will do the trick) How to Install ------------ Clone the git repository into your app’s vendor/plugins directory cd vendor/plugins && git clone git://github.com/mdarby/scribd_fu.git Install the rscribd gem gem install rscribd How to Use ------------ Enter the below line into any attachment_fu-using model that you’d like to Scribdify acts_as_scribd_document Add the following fields into a new migration for the target model (and update your schema!): t.integer :scribd_id t.string :scribd_access_key Sign up for Scribd (it’s totally free) Copy the vendor/plugins/scribd.yml.example file to config/scribd.yml and fill out with your Scribd login credentials Now, when you upload a file that is convertible in the Scribd system, Scribd_fu will automatically handle the CRUD for you. No muss, no fuss. To view a Scribd document, just throw the below code into your view (where @document is an object of your Scribd/Attachment_fu model): <%= display_scribd(@document) %> That’s it! Further Info ------------ You can make your Scribd documents private or public, to choose, just modify the scribd.yml file and enter ‘private’ or ‘public’ in the ‘access’ key.
