## activeadmin-settings **IN DEVELOPMENT** Easy to use general purpose settings backend for activeadmin. At the moment only [activeadmin-mongoid](https://github.com/elia/activeadmin-mongoid/) is suported. ActiveRecord support is not in my plans, so everyone interested is welcome on a board.  ### Installation Add to `Gemfile`: gem "activeadmin-settings" Run installer: $ rails g activeadmin_settings:install ### Configuration After installation you should find a new **Settings** menu in the admin. If no configuration found in `config/activeadmin_settings.yml` only *Admins* tab is shown. *Admin* tab implements basic functionality of editing *AdminUser* objects. To add some settings go to `config/activeadmin_settings.yml`. Settings are splitted into groups, each setting name concidered to be uniq, e.g.: SEO: Website Keywords: description: These keywords are included in homepage header meta tag default_value: lorem ipsum simply dummy text printing Website Description: type: text description: Website description is used as value for header meta tag on homepage default_value: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. There are a few types of settings: * `string` (default) - a regular text input * `link` - text input with a format: `(TITLE) URL` * `text` - textarea input * `html` - textarea with [redactor.js](http://redactorjs.com/) * `file` - input for file upload Some examples: Types Examples: Logo Image: type: file description: Please make sure logo image size is 287x140 pixels default_value: home/home-logo.jpg CEO Message: type: html description: This text is used for the "CEO Message" page default_value: > <p><strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.</p> <p>Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p> Facebook Link: type: link description: Company facebook page link default_value: (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/ Settings could be integrated into templates as well as models or controllers code using `settings_value` helper. For example: * `<%= settings_value("CEO Message") %>` - provides html * `<%= image_tag setting_value("Logo Image") %>` - provides an image url: `<img src="/production-assets-path/home/home-logo.jpg" />` * `<%= settings_value("Facebook Link") %>` - provides link: `<a href="https://www.facebook.com/" title="Facebook">Facebook</a>` If setting value is `null` or an empty string default setting value is used which is defined in `config/activeadmin_settings.yml`. ### FUTURE FEATURES I'm going to add types: * `Boolean` - checkbox or dropdown with two values * `Dropdown` - dropdown with options * `List` - list bases selection Issues or feature requests are [welcome](https://github.com/alexkravets/activeadmin-settings/issues?state=open). ### GLHF
