Xforum
This is a javascript dependent forum that is relatively light weight. It's unique feature is that it supports multiple language posting and ask the user community to translate the various posting from other users.
You'd be a bit crazy to use it now at v.0000000001 since this is my first attempt:)
usage
include gem 'xforum' in you gem file
bundle install
in your config/routes
mount Xforum::Engine => '/xforum', as: 'xforum'
To use as a partial in you page
In application.js
//= require xforum/application.js
in application.css (or css.scss)
*= require xforum/application.css.scss
<label id="gotoforum" class='nav-label'><%= t('Forum')%></label>
add this javascript so we can hide the area you want hidden when the forum is up
function showPageName() {
"use strict";
return 'the-ID-of-div-to-hide';
}
you have to provide your own translation for the label
add this where you want the page to display
<div class="row" id="forum-page" style='display: none;'>
<%=render partial: 'xforum/forums/forum' %>
</div>
to use as a separate page. Create a link to xforum/forums/the_page
create xforum_init.rb in config/initializers
include in it these two lines
Xforum.user_class='User' or whatever you user class is e.g. Member
Xforum.user_table='users' or whatever you user table is e.g. members
rake xforum:install:migrations
rake db:migrate
in your user model
require 'xforum/user_include.rb'
You now have access to the instance methods Xforum in you model.
