CBA – Community Base Application

Note: Project’s README should be identical to README.textile on Github — I try hard to keep both versions in synchronized state, but check out the Github-version too.

CBA is forked from Rails3-Mongoid-Devise by fortuity, and extended by Andi Altendorfer with

• OmniAuth
• Paperclip
• CanCan
• jQuery

CBA’s own implementations

• Models/MVC
  • User
  • Blog
  • Posting
  • Page
• Features:
  • Comments and Attachments for all models
  • i18n enabled (en/de)
  • installation.rb (See: Posting)
  • Configuration in application.yml

Installation

• See → Posting ‘installation.rb’

Delayed Jobs

There is a rake-task to start the background jobs

rake delayed_jobs:work

Unfortunatley DelayedJobs by ‘tobi’ doesn’t work with MongoId.
So I did this my own way. To define new background-workers follow this steps:

1. Define a worker in app/workers (See new_sign_up_notifier.rb for example)
2. Enqueue new Jobs like shown in app/model/user.rb, method async_notify_on_creation (Source)

Resource ‘Page’

Since nearly any website needs some kind of ‘semi-static pages’ and we need some kind of object to test the application, there is a resource Page with the following features

1. Consists of a title and a body
2. The body is rendered with RedCloth
3. The MongoId of /page/MONGO_ID in the browser-address will be replaced by /p/title_of_the_page with JS.
