Integration with Refinery CMS

Assuming you already have a Refinery-based application, and have created at least one admin user:

1. Add forem to the Gemfile (see the README), after refinerycms.

• You don't need to add kaminari or will_paginate, because Refinery already requires will_paginate.

2. bundle install to get the latest version of the Forem gem.
3. rails g forem:install

• User class: Refinery::User
• current_user helper: current_refinery_user

3. If you get an error under Creating default forum and topic, it means #325 hasn't been fixed yet. You'll need to manually add this to config/routes.rb, before Refinery::Core::Engine:

• mount Forem::Engine, :at => "/forums"

And you're done! Yaaay! Run rails s and visit http://localhost:3000/forums.

These instructions were tested with Refinery 2.0.8. Future people, you're on your own.

Troubleshooting

undefined method: refinery_user?

You probably put the forem gem before refinerycms in the Gemfile.

The page you requested was not found.

You probably put the Forem::Engine routes after Refinery::Core::Engine in config/routes.rb.
