Scrollytelling Navigation

www.scrollytelling.io

This Pageflow plugin replaces the default navigation with our version.

The Scrollytelling navigation uses dots to show progress instead of thumbnails.

This is the 1-13-stable branch

This branch targets gem 'pageflow', '~> 0.11.0'.

How does it look?

See the various stories on our homepage.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'scrollytelling-navigation'

Bundle the plugin with your application by typing this on the command line:

$ bundle install

Usage

Register the plugin in the Pageflow initializer and then add it to your asset pipeline.

# config/initializers/pageflow.rb
config.plugin(Scrollytelling::Navigation::Plugin.new)

# app/assets/javascripts/pageflow/application.js
//= require scrollytelling/navigation

# app/assets/stylesheets/pageflow/application.css.scss
@import "scrollytelling/navigation";

Furthermore after installing any Pageflow plugin it's a good idea to change your asset version. This will invalidate all server-side cache, most notably the cache that i18n-js uses to render the editor UI.

# config/initializers/assets.rb
Rails.application.config.assets.version = 'x.x.x'

After all that, restart your application server.

Migrate all the things

Your published entries and all your accounts will still reference the default Pageflow widget. To update the lot in bulk, run this:

Pageflow::Widget.
  where(role: 'navigation').
  find_each do |widget|
    widget.update! type_name: 'scrollytelling_navigation'
  end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
