nesta-rails

===========

nesta-rails is a Rails plugin that seamlessly integrates [Nesta CMS][]

into your Rails application. Rather than mounting Nesta as a Rack

application alongside your Rails application, it replaces Nesta's

Sinatra actions with a Rails controller that uses Nesta's library code

to render the files in your content/pages directory.

[Nesta CMS]: http://nestacms.com

Installation

------------

Add the `nesta-rails` gem to your Rails project's `Gemfile` and re-run

Bundler, like this:

    $ echo "gem 'nesta-rails'" >> Gemfile

    $ bundle

Now you can generate a controller, a helper, and a default template for

rendering your pages. The generator will automatically add some routes

to `config/routes.rb` for you.

    $ rails generate nesta

          create  config/initializers/nesta.rb

          create  app/controllers/nesta_controller.rb

          create  app/helpers/nesta_helper.rb

          create  app/views/nesta/page.html.haml

          create  app/views/nesta/atom.haml

          create  app/views/nesta/sitemap.haml

           route  mount NestaController.action(:show), :at => '/'

           route  match 'sitemap.xml' => 'nesta#sitemap'

           route  match 'articles.xml' => 'nesta#feed'

Move the new routes to the bottom of `config/routes.rb` to ensure that

Nesta isn't asked to serve pages that should be handled by other

controllers in your application.

That's it - nesta-rails is installed.

It's now up to you to update your templates/CSS accordingly, but Nesta's

content should be rendered within your Rails app's application layout...

If you want to make changes to the generated controllers and helpers, go ahead.

That's why they're generated; you'll probably want to hack on them at some

point.
