What this is¶ ↑

A trivial Rails 3 app using the SugarCRM gem. It will hopefully help to get you up and running (see steps below).

How we got here¶ ↑

1. ‘rails new sugar_on_rails_basic –skip-active-record` (we don’t a database here, but you might)

2. Add the sugarcrm gem to the Gemfile. The git repository was used in this case because we’re on the bleeding edge: the Rails generator (used in a later step) isn’t in the gem yet. Starting with gem version 0.9.12, you can simply use ‘gem ’sugarcrm’‘ in your gem file (i.e. no need to use the git repository)

3. ‘bundle install`

4. ‘rails g sugarcrm:config`

5. Edit the configuration file in ‘config/sugarcrm.yml` to match your environment

You can see exactly what was done in each step by looking at the commit history (select “commits” button from menu on top of page).

A simple controller and view were then added to show content in a view.
