spread

Makes it easy to add tell-a-friend functionality to any Rails app.

Installation

Install the gem directly:

sudo gem install pelargir-spread --source=http://gems.github.com

Or install the gem in your Rails project as a plugin:

script/plugin install git://github.com/pelargir/spread.git

Or clone the project:

git clone git://github.com/pelargir/spread.git

Usage

Use spread’s view helper to embed a link on the page you want to share:

<%= spread :something %>

Let your controller know you’re using spread:

class SomeController < ActionController::Base
  spread :something
end

That’s all there is to it! (Spread’s templates are currently static. I’m working on making them overrideable so expect that soon.)
