Feedbacker

Feedbacker provides a tab for users to contact developers from within the application

Feedbacker assumes that you're using...

• At least Rails 3.1.3
• The Rails Asset Pipeline
• Jquery
• That you have a User class with email and name methods (name can be configured to something else)
• and probably some other things that we've failed to mention.

1. Add the following to your Gemfile.

    gem :feedbacker
   

2. Run bundle install

3. Add the following line to your application layout.

    <%= javascript_include_tag :feedbacker %>
   

4. Add the following line to your application layout before you call application.css. Override default settings in application.css.

    <%= stylesheet_link_tag :feedbacker %>
   

5. Add the following line at at appropriate position in your application layout.

    <%= render(:partial => 'feedbacker/tab') unless current_user.is_guest? %>
   

6. Add the folllowing line to config/application.rb.

    config.paths['db/migrate'] += Feedbacker::Engine.paths['db/migrate'].existent
   

   For Rails 4.2:

    config.paths['db/migrate'].concat(Feedbacker::Engine.paths['db/migrate'].existent)
   

7. Run rake db:migrate to add remarks table.

8. Create feedbacker.rb in config/initializers and add the following line.

    Feedbacker::SETTINGS.email_to = 'support@yourdomain.com'
   

OR

    Feedbacker::SETTINGS.update do |settings|
      settings.email_to = 'support@yourdomain.com'
      settings.user_name_method = :name             # default value
      settings.email_prefix = '[FEEDBACKER]'        # default value
    end

9. Rails 4.2: Add this line to the top of your routes file.

    resources :remarks, :only => [:create]
