SpreeFeaturedTaxon

Add basic ability to mark a taxon as featured from the admin interface.
Adds helpers for you to use in your overrides.

Developing against

• Ruby 1.9.2 p290
• Rails 3.1.1
• Spree Gem > 0.70

Install

1. Add the following to your Gemfile
   gem 'spree_featured_taxon', :git => 'git://github.com/Matmon/spree-featured-taxons.git'

2. Run bundle install

3. To setup the asset pipeline includes and copy migrations run:
   bundle exec rails g spree_featured_taxon:install

4. In your overrides you can use Taxon.featured for a collection of featured taxons.

5. It also adds a helper, featured_taxon_list, that provides an unordered list of taxons.

   so you can do

Deface::Override::new({ :virtual_path => 'shared/_taxonomies',
  :name => 'insert_featured_taxonomies',
  :insert_after => 'div#taxonomies',
  :text => %q{

  <div id="featured_taxonomies" class="sidebar-item" data-hook="featured_taxonomies">
    <h3 class='taxonomy-root'><%= t(:featured) %></h3>

      <%= featured_taxon_list(featured_taxons) %>

  </div>

  	}

})

Helper Options

The helper takes the following keys in an option hash that customize the rendering of the list

• :id => string if given, it will become the css id for the ul
• :class => string if given, it will become the css class for the list
• :current => taxon if given and present in the given collection the css class current will added to the li that contains the taxon.

You can also override the default rendering of the li content with a block.

E.G. if given:

taxons  = [Taxon.new(:name => 'one'), Taxon.new(:name => 'two')]
current = taxons.first

featured_taxon_list(taxons, :id => 'test_id', :class => 'test_class', :current => current) do |taxon|
  "Hello, #{taxon.name}"
end

will render the list:

<ul id="test_id" class="test_class">
  <li class="current">Hello, one</li>
  <li>Hello, two</li>
</ul>

Please read helper tests as well.
