Effective Website

This is a rails starter website that uses most of the effective_* gems.

Rails 5.1

Version 1.2

Getting Started

• Clone this repo (or use suggested git workflow below).

• Create a config/database.yml.

• Create a ~/.env

• bundle

• bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed

• rails server

• Search the entire project for 'example' and fill in your site specifics.

• Good luck!

Suggested git workflow

When starting a new site, create a new empty git repo, origin. Then add effective_website as a second remote.

Pull the initial code, one time, from effective_website/master and from there on, push all changes to origin/master or develop.

Do not push to effective_website/master.

mkdir new_website
cd new_website
git init .
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/my_empty_repo.git
git remote add effective_website git@github.com:code-and-effect/effective_website.git
git pull effective_website master
git push origin master

Push all changes to origin master.

This workflow provides the normal origin/master, while maintaining the ability to pull in changes from effective_website/master if ever desired.

menus

To change the main menu, you can use the full screen editor. Or:

Edit lib/tasks/generate/effective_menus.rake and then run rake generate:effective_menus
