Uservoice feedback for Ruby on Rails

This adds Uservoice support to your Rails application including single sign-on.

Installation

As a gem

gem install uservoice

As a Rails dependency in your Gemfile

gem 'uservoice'

Configuration

Via config/uservoice.yml

Generate config file for your app:

rails generate uservoice install

Then open config/uservoice.yml and adjust settings as needed.

Via initializer

Create config/initializers/uservoice.rb with the following content:

UserVoice.config.merge!({:script_id => "XY"})

Available settings

• Required: script_id is the ID of the widget you want to use (create a widget under Settings > Channels > Javascript Widgets and copy the ID from the code)
• Optional: sso_key is your Single Sign-on key that you find Settings > General > User Authentication > Change to "Single Sign-On"
• Optional: `subdomain is the subdomain of your uservoice URL (e.g. "acme" from "acme.uservoice.com")

Add javascript function and configuration to HTML BODY section of your template file:

<%= uservoice_config_javascript %>

Single Sign-On

Single sign-on authenticates your users automatically against the Uservoice service. A second login is not needed any more. Uservoice is allowing single sign-on starting from the Premium plan.

To use single sign-on with on uservoice you have to set your sso_key and subdomain in config/uservoice.yml. The user properties can be set via the :sso parameter:

<%= uservoice_config_javascript(:sso => {:guid => @current_user.id, :email => @current_user.email}) %>

Parameter :guid should be unique identifier, for example the user id in your system. Uservoice recommends setting :email parameter to enable users to get updates and notifications via email. See https://ACCOUNT.uservoice.com/admin2/docs#/sso for a list of parameters available.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

This project is using Semantic Versioning.
