Blogit (beta)

Blogit is a flexible blogging solution for Rails apps. It:

  • Is Rack based;
  • Is a complete MVC solution based on Rails engines;
  • Aims to work right out of the box but remain fully customisable.

Installation

Add this to your Gemfile

gem "blogit"

...and run bundle install to install the gem.

Next, run:

# add an initializer to config/initializers with all of the configuration options
$ rails g blogit:install
# This will add the necessary migrations to your app's db/migrate directory
rake blogit:install:migrations
# This will run any pending migrations
rake db:migrate

then add the following to your routes.rb file:

# config/routes.rb
mount Blogit::Engine => "/blog"

... and finally, declare which of your models acts as blogger in your app (usually User).

class User
  
  blogs

end

Configuration

At no extra cost...
