Spree.png

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, and you'll want your Directed Edge account info handy.

$ sudo gem install directed-edge
$ ./script/plugin install https://github.com/directededge/acts_as_edgy.git
$ ./script/extension install https://github.com/directededge/acts_as_edgy_spree.git
$ rake edgy:configure
$ rake edgy:export

Now your initial data export to Directed Edge is complete!
