Hey everyone,
What is a good way to add more variables to the config.yml file? I have
been successful at doing the following in my app.rb:
module Nesta
class Config
@settings = %w[
title aftertitle subtitle theme disqus_short_name cache content
google_analytics_code
]
end
class app
helpers do
def set_common_variables
@menu_items = Nesta::Menu.for_path('/')
@site_title = Nesta::Config.title
set_from_config(:title, :subtitle, :google_analytics_code,
:aftertitle)
@heading = @title
end
end
end
end
Is there a better way to do this?
thanks in advance,
Aaron

I just had a quick look. Nothing significantly better leapt out at me.
But do you really need to modify config.yml? If you need to vary the
aftertitle thing in multiple sites (and access it in templates in a shared
theme), I can see why you'd want to add new stuff to config.yml.
If it's just for one site, I'd probably just write a helper method (rather
than create a new instance variable) and reference that in my templates.
It could be simpler.
e.g.
helpers do
def aftertitle
'value'
end
end
