Rails gem for making ActiveRecord models publishable.
gem install acts_as_publishable
Make a model publishable:
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_publishable … end
Create a migration that adds the needed columns to the my_models table:
script/generate migration AddPublishableColumnsToMyModel publish_now:boolean published_from:datetime published_to:datetime
Now you can ask if an instance of MyModel is published:
my_model = MyModel.first my_model.published? => true
The published? method returns true if my_model either has publish_now set to true or published_from is set in the past and published_to is set in the future.
And you can also find instances of MyModel that are published:
MyModel.find_published
This finds all instances where published? returns true.
The find_published finder method accepts any of the normal options as the default find method accepts.
-
Option for configuring whether publish_now should be OR’d or AND’d with the published_from and published_to columns
-
Add publish! and unpublish! instance methods
-
Update README to reflect functionality (config options, validation and the scope)
