Simple SEO Blog for RefineryCMS

This project is the search engine-optimized version of refinerycms-blog.

Main SEO optimizations:

• /blog/:category_slug/:post_slug post urls (with a 1-n association between category and posts);
• /blog/:category_slug category urls;
• sticky posts

This is the edge -and for now the only- version of refinerycms-seoblog and it supports only Refinery 3.x and Rails 4.1.x. But it works!

Requirements

Refinery CMS version 3.0.0 or above.

Install

Open up your Gemfile and add at the bottom this line. If refinerycms-page-images extension is also installed, make sure the line come before gem 'refinerycms-page-images'

gem 'refinerycms-seoblog', git: 'https://github.com/darmens/refinerycms-seoblog', branch: 'master'

Now, run bundle install

Next, to install the blog plugin run:

rails generate refinery:blog

Run database migrations:

rake db:migrate

Finally seed your database and you're done.

rake db:seed

Visual Editor

By default, this extension does not require any particular visual editor. Previously, Refinery was coupled to WYMeditor but this has been extracted to an extension, refinerycms-wymeditor.

If you want to use refinerycms-wymeditor, simply place it in your Gemfile:

gem 'refinerycms-wymeditor', ['~> 1.0', '>= 1.0.6']

Developing & Contributing

The version of Refinery to develop this engine against is defined in the gemspec. To override the version of refinery to develop against, edit the project Gemfile to point to a local path containing a clone of refinerycms.

Testing

Generate the dummy application to test against

$ bundle exec rake refinery:testing:dummy_app

Run the test suite with Guard

$ bundle exec guard start

Or just with rake spec

$ bundle exec rake spec
