<em><strong>This plugin is no longer available.</strong> Blueprint nowadays ships with a very good 'compress' script that allows you to generate all kinds of nice BluePrint layouts. Having a plugin to just copy some files seems a bit excessive. </em>

I think that, if you're a web developer, you've seen the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/">BlueprintCSS</a> framework. BlueprintCSS offers quite a bit of CSS code that allows you to quickly and easily build a grid-based layout, using pure CSS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's, of course, all very nice, but you should be able to plug it in into your Rails app. And now you can!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install my plugin:
|
||
|
|
<pre lang="bash">./script/plugin install http://svn.ariejan.net/plugins/blueprint</pre>
|
||
|
|
And then generate as many BlueprintCSS layouts as you'd like. To create a layout for your posts controller, simply run the following command:
|
||
|
|
<pre lang="bash">./script/generate blueprint posts</pre>
|
||
|
|
This will create a posts.rhtml template in app/views/layouts, and add the proper CSS and images to your application. That's all!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note 1: You may remove a few lines of inline CSS from your layout to remove the supporting background images.
