To use Haml with a Rails application, you have to configure the Rails application to be aware of the Haml gem. You can do this by specifying a ‘config.gem Haml’ line in the ‘config.rb’ file (or gem Haml if you are using Egde Rails soon to be known as Rails 3).
After that line, make sure to run ‘rake gems:install’ to install the gem for your project. Optionally, you can run ‘rake gems:unpack’ to unpack the gem files into your vendor directory. All these hassle can be done automatically by using a template created by Chris Eppstein; thanks Chris. If you are running Rails 2.3.*, you can follow the following steps: 1. To install Haml and Compass/Sass into a new application => 'rails <appname> -m http://compass-style.org/rails/installer' 2. To install Haml and Compass/Sass into an existing application, use the application template rake task => 'rake rails:template LOCATION=http://compass-style.org/rails/installer'. You van also set the NO_SUSO option to disable the interferance of the super user in the script like so: 'rake rails:template LOCATION=http:// compass-style.org/rails/installer NO_SUDO=true' Compass/Sass is an amazing scripting language that generates CSS. You can integrate frameworks such as Blueprint with it too. Check them out. Hope this helps. - Igbanam On Sep 6, 11:45 am, "sol.manager" <sol.mana...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you so much.
