= Infopark Rails Connector
Infopark Rails Connector integrates Infopark’s CMS into your Rails application.
It connects either to Infopark Cloud Express CMS via {https://rubygems.org/gems/infopark_cloud_connector infopark_cloud_connector} or to Infopark CMS Fiona via {https://rubygems.org/gems/infopark_fiona_connector infopark_fiona_connector}. It also enables you to integrate various ready-to-run features.
For more information about Infopark Rails Connector, please visit {http://kb.infopark.de/ Infopark’s Knowledge Base}.
== Configuration
Here is how the available addons can be enabled in the rails_connector.rb initializer file of your application:
RailsConnector::Configuration.enable(
:google_analytics,
:infopark_tracking,
:crm,
:pdf_generator,
:rss,
:search,
:seo_sitemap,
:time_machine
)
== Layout Helpers
Some of these functions require HTML or Javascript code to be included in the application layout.
For example, Google Analytics only tracks pageviews if their JavaScript snippet is included at the bottom of the HTML body.
The Rails Connector provides two helpers for managing this kind of layout code, switching on or off parts depending on whether features are enabled or not:
rails_connector_header_tags
This helper needs to be called inside the HTML head tag.
rails_connector_after_content_tags
This helper needs to be placed right before the closing body tag.
== Generators
Infopark Rails Connector comes with three generators to help you get up and running quickly:
> rails generate rails_connector:install
Adds to your application the Time Machine assets, a +rails_connector.rb+ initializer and rake tasks specific to the gem.
== Seo Sitemap
The default implementation of the SEO sitemap will reference all the files from your CMS in the generated sitemap.xml. For a large number of files, this can slow down your server. Please refer to {RailsConnector::SEO::ClassMethods#find_all_for_sitemap} for advice on optimization.
