Refinery's news engine allows you to post updates to the news section of your website.
Key features:
- Default news page shows a summary of recent news posts
- Detail view shows the full post and also linked to recent news on the "side bar"
Refinery CMS "core" engine version 2.0.0 or later.
Include the latest gem into your Refinery CMS application's Gemfile:
gem "refinerycms-news", '~> 2.0.0'
Then type the following at command line inside your Refinery CMS application's root directory:
bundle install
rails generate refinery:news
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
Assuming you've already overridden the homepage view:
$ rake refinery:override view=refinery/pages/home
You can render the recent_posts partial. However, you will need to set the recent News items manually, since this is normally handled in the News::Items controller:
<% @items = Refinery::News::Item.latest(5) %>
<%= render :partial => '/refinery/news/items/recent_posts' %>
Type this command at your project root to override the default front end views:
$ rake refinery:override view=refinery/news/items/*
Copied view template file to app/views/refinery/news/items/_recent_posts.html.erb
Copied view template file to app/views/refinery/news/items/index.html.erb
Copied view template file to app/views/refinery/news/items/show.html.erb
etc.
To get RSS for your entire site, insert this into the head section of your layout after installing:
<%= auto_discovery_link_tag(:rss, refinery.news_items_url(:format => 'rss')) %>
