Perhaps I am missing how I spree_static_content works, but I was unable to use spree/layouts/my_layout as a path.
Seems that app/views/layouts is wired in. This is fine, but for me app/views/spree/layouts works better for my paths.

Other point is in regard to the interface. Default functionality seems to be checkbox to select where you want a link to appear. The visibility checkbox turns off the visibility of the link AND the availability of the page. When you just want to
have some static menu items, this is more work because now you have to go in and hide visibility of the generated link.

Seems would be better to have 2 switches: One to turn off link, the other to turn off page availability.

...of course this may all be available now, but I did not discover it even after checking out the video.

Thanks! Jet

I am really liking this extension!

Rails 3.0.9 prints warning in log for spree_static_content/app/views/admin/pages/edit.html.erb.

I think problem in following code:

<% semantic_form_for([:admin, @page]) do |f| -%>
  <%= render :partial => "form", :locals => { :f => f } %>
  <p class="form-buttons">
    <%= button t("actions.update"), nil, 'submit' %>
    <%= t("or") %> <%= link_to t("actions.cancel"), admin_pages_path %>
  </p>
<% end %>

It should change the line
<% semantic_form_for([:admin, @page]) do |f| -%>
to
<%= semantic_form_for([:admin, @page]) do |f| -%>

Hi,
I tried out spree static content. I added about us page by setting Slug as "/about ". It's redirecting to the following.
http://localhost:3000/about#Journey::Path::Pattern:0x007fb94ca4bca0/about

However, I can access to About us page if I try on browser as follow.
http://localhost:3000/about

Could you please advice me?
Thanks,
Khaing

I am using spree + heroku + static_content and i am getting this error trying to enter the admin.
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `upcase' for nil:NilClass):
<%= tab(:pages) %>

I guess that it is the ruby version but i am lost of what change do i have to do to make this work, in development i am using ruby 1.9.2p180 and it's working perfect

Thank you!

Unlike what you mentioned in the Readme file,
The wikipage is lack of content regarding how to use the spree_static_content repo.

I am using this extension with no explicit layout defined, so it's using the default app layout. In production environment, when I make changes to say footer or head and then restart my app to reload the templates, pages that were created with this extension will not pick up the changes and will use old layout. To fix this I have to go into the Admin - Pages section and manually "Update" (without changing anything) each page so it refreshes, this can become quickly frustrating if there are multiple pages.

Not quite sure what would be the best approach to handling this issue, either add an "Refresh All" button or change something that would automatically refresh when app is restarted.

Would it be a great idea to add a wysiwyg editor to this extension? Would be more easy for non technical staff to use it.

Updating to the latest spree_static_content, static pages no longer load. I think this is due to the leading slash from the slug not being included in the query.

Hi everysoul!

When i trying to compile this gem into my spree environment, i get a this message from bundler:

slon@srv01:/im/app1/mystore$ bundle install --no-deployment
Updating git://github.com/spree/spree_static_content

I think, that a gem need the spree_core 1.2.0.beta, but i have a spree_core 1.2.0.rc1 and when try to "gem install spree_core -v '1.2.0.beta'" - then got a this message:

Can you explain how to i must install it. With best regards...

Hi there,

I can happily add and manage static pages such as an 'About' page, but if I try to show a static page instead of an existing dynamic page such as the home page - the dynamic page does not get replaced.

Ruby 1.9.3
Rails 3.1.3
Spree 1.0.0
Spree_static_content 1.0.0 from git://raw.github.com/spree/spree_static_content.git (at master)

Many thanks

Hi

In 1.2, controller had a helper added
89a230d
I'm just upgrading to 1.3 and getting an error ActionView::Template::Error (undefined local variable or methodget_taxonomies' `

I noticed that the helper isn't called in the 1.3 branch. I added it directly to my gem and it solved this problem but I was presented with another. As a newbie I'm not sure if the helper will will solve my problem or not but I thought I'd mention it in case it's important. Just close this issue if it's not necessary.

Using the spree default store, I can't overwrite existing dynamic pages.
For example: /t/categories/clothing or /

Edit: maybe something related to the double slashes problem: spree/spree#1315 (comment)

Version 0.60.2 is commited but isn't pushed to rubygems.org.
0.60.1 isn't usable due to bug #14.

If I use memcached as my cache_store then I get the following error when trying to create a new page.

undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class

Extracted source (around line # 4):

4: <%= semantic_form_for([:admin, @page]) do |f| %>
5:   <%= render :partial => "form", :locals => { :f => f } %>

giving undefined method `spec' for "/":String

When creating a new page an error is generated:

Can't mass-assign protected attributes: title, slug, body, meta_title, meta_keywords, meta_description, layout, foreign_link, position, show_in_sidebar, show_in_header, show_in_footer, visible

I've tried to update the models/spree/page.rb file to include attr_accessible for those attributes, but it is not working:

attr_accessible :title, :slug, :body, :meta_title, :meta_keywords, :meta_description, :layout, :foreign_link, :position, :show_in_sidebar, :show_in_header, :show_in_footer, :visible

Just installed this extension in Spree 1.2.0 using branch 1-2-stable, but I get a 404 error when visiting a created About page with the "about" slug (http://localhost:3000/about), this is the query:

 SELECT `spree_pages`.* FROM `spree_pages` WHERE `spree_pages`.`visible` = 1 AND ((`spree_pages`.`slug` = '/about' OR `spree_pages`.`slug` = '//about')) ORDER BY position ASC LIMIT 1

If I use "/about" as slug, the page can be normally opened

When enabled tis module the sidebar always displayed in my theme because of the empty #sidebar-pages-menu nav element. Added a fix to the view template.

# app/views/spree/static_content/_static_content_sidebar.html.erb
<% if Spree::Page.visible.sidebar_links.any? %>
  <nav id="sidebar-pages-menu">
    <ul><%= render :partial => "spree/static_content/static_content_list", :collection => Spree::Page.visible.sidebar_links, :as => :page %></ul>
  </nav>
<% end %>

New commits are not being tested by Travis... Has the hook been turned off for the repo? Last build was 4 months ago.

4202c16

The commit introduced a boolean column 'render_layout_as_partial' but the references in the commit try to access the idiomatic 'render_layout_as_partial?', diff being the trailing question mark.

Need either an instance method, or changed references.

Tell me which is better and I can shoot a pull request.

Using spree 1.1.1
spree static content branch 1.1-stable
rails 3.2.3

When I save a static page and then I navigate to the link, I get a route not found error?

is this a known issue or just happing to me?

thanks,
-Mez

Hallo!

I have a problem running it in production. I've being always redirected to first saved page as I try to call any other saved static pages.

Have somebody a similar problem?

thanks in advance!

Looks like upgrading to spree 1.1.3 breaks the static content extension. You will get the following error:

undefined method `get_taxonomies' for #Spree::StaticContentController:0x007f899a9afbe8

Extracted source (around line #2):

1:
2: <% get_taxonomies.each do |taxonomy| %>
3:

<%= t(:shop_by_taxonomy, :taxonomy => taxonomy.name.singularize) %>

4: <%= taxons_tree(taxonomy.root, @Taxon, Spree::Config[:max_level_in_taxons_menu] || 1) %>
5: <% end %>
I am using the master branch for spree_static_content and spree 1.1.3 in my gemfile.

The cache seems to include the shopping cart (in the menu in my case) and is not updated when adding/removing products to the cart. It seems to only be in production mode and I'm running Apache 2 and Passenger.

To reproduce:

1. Create new page
2. View static page. Cart is empty.
3. Go to products and add product. Cart updated with 1 product
4. View the same static page. Cart is empty.

hi There,

i know in the latest version those fragment has been removed from Spree::Admin::PagesController

i just want to share what i found, i think the problem before was missing '/'

Cache delete: views/spree_static_contentshop-returns-policy_spree_static_content
Expire fragment views/spree_static_contentshop-returns-policy_spree_static_content

Read fragment views/spree_static_content/shop-returns-policy_spree_static_content (0.6ms)

Commit fec35c3 & 0627983 breaks default configuration of spree. While developing with a Gemfile of:

gem 'spree'
gem 'spree_static_content', :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_static_content.git'

The latest commit assumes that spree is also running off the HEAD from the spree/spree repository. This is bad seeing as the gem on rubygems.org is old.

Hello, I ran into a small issue while installing this extension with spree 1.0.0.rc2

With a page that has a slug of '/', the root page is still /products (spree default). Ive used this extension with previous versions of spree and it worked great.

ruby 1.9.2
rails 3.1.1
spree 1.0.0.rc2
'spree_static_content', ' 1.0.0

Thank you.

formtastic is correctly added as an dependency in the gemspec file, but it is not required.. (like when you add it to the Gemfile).

This could be me.... but

If I use this in my Gemfile

gem 'spree_static_content',
        :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_static_content',
        :branch => 'master'

running 'bundle install' gives me:
Updating git://github.com/spree/spree_static_content
fatal: Could not parse object 'b853a62c7cdf67973661af8391aa8e1a3f68966f'.

If this error persists you could try removing the cache directory '/Users/steve/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0@rkbbspree/cache/bundler/git/spree_static_content-ecb33487986dcb19dba1425cbbb89a27abdbde7a'

however, if I have this in my Gemfile:

gem 'spree_static_content',
        :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_static_content',
        :branch => 'namespace'

Then everything works.

I've changed the default layout for Spree, but when I create a new static page it defaults to the original Spree layout. I found here: https://github.com/spree/spree_static_content/blob/master/app/controllers/spree/static_content_controller.rb

This:

    def determine_layout
        return @page.layout if @page and @page.layout.present? and not @page.render_layout_as_partial?
        'spree/layouts/spree_application'
    end

So I'm overriding this for my project with:

    def determine_layout
        return @page.layout if @page and @page.layout.present? and not @page.render_layout_as_partial?
        Spree::Config.layout
    end

I'm new to all this, so I don't know if this is the right way to do it but it would be a good improvement.

ruby 1.9.2
rails 3.0.9
spree 0.60.1
'spree_static_content', '~> 0.60.1'

With a page that has a slug of '/', when in development mode, the root page is still /products (spree default), but in production mode, root path is properly overridden.

It says in the instructions (README):

gem 'spree_static_content', :git => '[email protected]:spree/spree_static_content.git', :branch => '1-1-stable'

But it didn't work for me, I had to change that to:

gem 'spree_static_content', :git => 'git://github.com/spree/spree_static_content.git', :branch => '1-1-stable'

I am putting /about_us in the stub field, but when I try to go to localhost:8080/about_us it gives a routing error: No route matches [GET] "/about_us"

There is not a whole lot of explanation on how to use this extension, so am I doing it wrong? I am using spree 1-1-stable and static content 1-1-stable.

Since I just fixed the remaining cache-key-name problem, and I'm working with this on a new site, I'm discovering a process issue. Suppose the following:

1. I go in and add a few static pages A and B, and add them to the header.
2. People visit the site, pages A and B get cached as expected.
3. I then add a new static page C, and also add it to the header.

Now when people request page C, everything looks great and the header has A, B, and C.

But when people request pages A or B, there are still cached versions of those pages that don't have page C in the header, since the header is part of what's cached.

I can think of a few ways to fix this:

1. We could use fragment caching and only cache the page content, excluding all of the layout.
2. We could expire ALL of the cached pages whenever any page is edited (we currently just expire the page that was edited)
3. We could have a button on the Admin/Pages tab to expire all pages.

Any thoughts?

Need to add more (integration) specs

This hasn't caused me any problems, but I thought I'd mention it in case it is a problem waiting to bite someone.

Using spree 1.0.0, rails 3.1.1, and including spree_static_content from master in gemfile.

I've created a layout in app/views/layouts, and told a static page to use it in spree admin. The page doesn't use the specified layout. This worked fine in older versions of spree but I now can't get any pages to use layouts.

I've had a look around this gem and spree but I'm not familiar enough with rails/spree to figure out why it's happening :(

Hi, I am using Spree 1.0.2 and your spree_static_content extension, but I cannot get any of the pages to load. I keep getting a routing error, where rails cannot find the route to any page.

I was wondering if this is a common problem, or if I may have done something wrong.... the installations instructions are a bit slim.

Thanks in advance for your time,
JD

Seems that is not possible to load the static pages prefixing a locale.

http://spree_shop.com/about-us -> loads correctly
http://spree_shop.com/es/about-us -> routing error

The static pages are rendered as partials.

Hi,

formtastic is missing un Gemfile

Can't get the sidebar menu to show up on static pages. Shows up on front page. Can it be that

<div data-hook="homepage_sidebar_navigation">

is missing in _sidebar.html.erb in Spree 1.2.x?

It would be great if there was a way to insert a partial into the page body. This would allow static page to show information that may need to be calculated in real time and be able to reuse some content that is already available through other partials.

It says you can render content as a partial by checking the 'Render layout as partial' option, but I can't see that option.

I am using the spree_static_content 1.3.2-stable branch.
I have my Spree mounted at '/store'

Now I get urls like http://localhost:3000/storeabout-us instead of http://localhost:3000/about-us

What am I doing wrong?

Here is a situation that I recently ran into that I found very confusing:

1. Create a page with the slug "test-page" and make it appear in the header.
2. Create a product and navigate to the product under "/products/product-name".
3. Try and click on the Test Page link in the header.
4. Watch as you are navigated to "/products/test-page" instead of "/test-page" like you expected and get a 404 error.

This situation is remedied by making sure that you place a leading slash in the slug; so that "test-page" would become "/test-page" in the slog slot on the Page creation section.

This seems confusing because I do not expect to have to put the slug in. Here are my potential solutions:

1. Write a warning on the Page creation page that tells people that they probably want to put a leading forward slash in place so that the slug is at one constant url.

2. (Preferred) Modify the code to always put a leading slash in place:

   <% page_uri = Rails.application.routes.named_routes[:spree].path.spec.to_s == '/' ? '/' + page.slug : Rails.application.routes.named_routes[:spree].path.spec.to_s + page.slug %>

That would probably work. The file is _static_content_list.html.erb

Either way it would be really good to be able to specify that you actually did mean to use the root endpoint. Even an option in the page creation would help with this.
