Getting started
Make sure you have properly identify your default locale and possible available ones. Georgia uses available_locales to know which translations should be configured or not.
config.i18n.default_locale = :en
config.i18n.available_locales = [:en]
Then run the generator to mount routes, run migrations & setup initial instances.
rails generate georgia:install
We built Georgia to help you quickly develop an application with a CMS (Content Management System). However, we don't want to be in your way when you need to customize it.
rails generate georgia:views
Start your server (rails server) and go to http://localhost:3000/admin to get started.
Heroku
You will need certain addons to make it work. I suggest going with this list matching Georgia's default tools:
heroku addons:add bonsai
heroku addons:add sendgrid
Add config/initializers/bonsai.rb with:
ENV['ELASTICSEARCH_URL'] = ENV['BONSAI_URL']
Create your indices with these commands:
heroku run rake environment tire:import CLASS=Georgia::Page FORCE=true
heroku run rake environment tire:import CLASS=Ckeditor::Asset FORCE=true
Finally, create your first admin user to access to web panel:
heroku run rake georgia:seed
For more information, you can also follow these instructions to setup bonsai.io. More here on heroku.com
