This is a Rails app that includes everything we want before we start rapid prototyping during a Market Sprint.
First, make sure you have the rails executable and that it is at the same version as that used by this template (4.1.0):
$ gem install rails -v 4.1.0
$ rails new my_app_name -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adaptivelab/market_sprint_rails_template/master/template.rb
$ bundle exec rake rails:template LOCATION=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adaptivelab/market_sprint_rails_template/master/template.rb

Admin lives at the relative URL, '/admin'. At first, the admin user is '[email protected]' and the password is 'password'. You should probably alter that if you make anything public.
To add in a page that's just a static image (or even a chain of pages), you can use the Pages tab in the (admin)[#admin] section.
The page slug determines the URL it will live at. The relative URL will be "/pages/my-slug", where 'my-slug' is your slug. Obvs. Using that knowledge, you can chain pages of static images together, by entering another /pages/{slug} URL in as the next_url. Simples!
To deploy using travis you will need to fill in the heroku app you want to deploy to and the name and branch of the git repo you want to deploy from.
For Example
app: adplatform-staging
on:
repo: adaptivelab/adplatform
branch: staging
Make sure you set the following environment variables:
SECRET_KEY_BASE
Pull request! Make changes to this app, ensure they work. Then update the template.rb file if you need to. To speed up trying out chages, you can use the local path to the template.rb instead of the URL when applying the template.
