ActiveBlog is Rails engine written to satisfy minimal blogging requirements.
The ActiveBlog BlogPost model:
create_table :blog_posts do |t|
t.string :title
t.string :body
t.boolean :draft
t.datetime :published_at
t.string :cached_slug
t.string :custom_url
t.timestamps
end
It is by no means a full blogging engine. There are no categories, no comments, and certainly no tagging.
ActiveBlog has the following dependencies:
- ActiveAdmin, for the backend
- Devise, for admin authentication
- Redcarpet, for markdown rendering
- PostgreSQL, for storage
