It's really easy to get up and going with Directed Edge's recommendations and Spree. We've got a plugin that does almost all of the work for you.

Prerequisites

  • You're using Spree version 0.11 or lower. We don't yet support Spree 0.3, but let us know if you've already made the jump to 0.3 and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready!
  • You know a teensy bit about customizing the templates for your shop.

Installing the plugin

There are a few bits and pieces that cover different layers that have to be installed to get things going in Spree, each a little more specific. There's a Ruby-specific gem, a Rails-specific plugin and finally a Spree-specific extension.

Go to your shop's root directory and run the following commands:

  • Install the Directed Edge gem:
$ sudo gem install directed-edge
  • Install the acts_as_edgy Rails plugin:
$ ./script/plugin install https://github.com/directededge/acts_as_edgy.git
  • Install the acts_as_edgy_spree Spree extension:
$ ./script/extension install https://github.com/directededge/acts_as_edgy_spree.git
  • Configure the plugin with your Directed Edge account info (from your sign-up)
$ rake edgy:configure
  • Do an initial export of your Shop's purchase data:
$ rake edgy:export
