Initializer sample

In config/initializers/monologue.rb:

Version 0.4.X+

Major and important change starting with Monologue 0.4.0, configurations will be done with a config block. You need to change your previous configuration. It should not be a big deal. Here is an example (taken from the dummy app):

Monologue.config do |config|
  config.site_name = "My blog"
  config.site_subtitle = "my own place online"
  config.site_url = "http://example.com"

  config.meta_description = "This is my blog about..."
  config.meta_keyword = "music, fun"

  config.admin_force_ssl = false
  config.posts_per_page = 10
  config.preview_size = 1000

  config.disqus_shortname = "my_disqus_shortname"

  # LOCALE
  config.twitter_locale = "en" # "fr"
  config.facebook_like_locale = "en_US" # "fr_CA"
  config.google_plusone_locale = "en"

  # config.layout               = "layouts/application"

  # ANALYTICS
  # config.gauge_analytics_site_id = "YOUR COGE FROM GAUG.ES"
  # config.google_analytics_id = "YOUR GA CODE"

  config.sidebar = ["latest_posts", "latest_tweets", "categories", "tag_cloud"]


  #SOCIAL
  config.twitter_username = "myhandle"
  config.facebook_url = "https://www.facebook.com/myhandle"
  config.facebook_logo = 'logo.png'
  config.google_plus_account_url = "https://plus.google.com/u/1/.../posts"
  config.linkedin_url = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/myhandle"
  config.github_username = "myhandle"
  config.show_rss_icon = true

end

Version 0.2.0+

Monologue.sidebar              = ["latest_posts", "latest_tweets"]   # this will add the latests posts and latests tweets in the right sidebar.
Monologue.show_rss_icon        = true # will show the RSS icon (with link) in the header)
Monologue.facebook_url         = "https://www.facebook.com/myhandle" # if set, this will enable Facebook icon and link it to your Facebook page.
Monologue.google_plus_account_url = "https://plus.google.com/.../posts" # if set, this will enable Google+ icon and link it to that URL.
Monologue.linkedin_url         = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/myhandle" # if set, will enable Linked In icon and link to this URL.
Monologue.github_username      = "http://github.com/myhandle"  # if set, will enable Github icon and link to this URL.
Monologue.gauge_analytics_site_id = "your-gaug.es-id-here" # add your [Gaug.es](http://get.gaug.es/) id here to enable it.
Monologue.facebook_logo           = 'logo.png'  # used in the open graph protocol to display an image when a post is liked

Also, starting from 0.2, you might need to configure some cache stuff here.
