Hackety Sling

Hackety Sling is a very simple blog software based on Sinatra and Document Mapper. It will add the following pages to your Sinatra application:

• An index page (/), showing 2 posts by default
• Posts by year/month/day, e.g. /2010/08/10/, /2010/08/ or /2010/
• Showing a single post, e.g.: /2010/11/13/my-post/
• Showing posts by tag, e.g.: /tags/ruby/
• Showing posts by author, e.g.: /author/ralph/
• An archive page: /archive/
• An atom feed: /atom.xml

Getting Hackety Sling to play nice with your existing Sinatra Application is easy. Just include the module and add some configuration settings, like in the example below:

class MySuperBlog < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::HacketySling

  set :hackety_sling_title, 'My super blog | A blog about stuff'
  set :hackety_sling_author, 'Carlos Testuser'


  # Optional
  set :hackety_sling_posts_on_index, 2

  get '/other-sinatra-page/' do
    erubis :other_sinatra_page
  end
end
