disguise

A simple theme system for your Rails application.

Installation

sudo gem install disguise

Disguise comes with an admin controller to make changing your theme simple. By default it is not protected.

In order to prevent unauthorized users from changing your theme you can override the admin controller like this:

class Admin::ThemesController < Admin::Disguise::ThemesController
  before_filter :login_required
  layout('admin')
end

Also be sure to add a route to the new controller in routes.rb:

# admin
map.namespace :admin do |a|
  a.resource :theme
end

Add disguise rake tasks to your rails project. Include the following line at the end of your Rakefile:

require 'disguise/tasks'

Then run the following to add the required files and database migration:

rake disguise:setup 
rake db:migrate

Generate a new theme for your Rails application using the built in theme generator:

./script/generate theme theme_name
