I am trying to hook up Refinerycms with mailchimp. I am aware that there is an engine available at (https://github.com/Wirelab/refinerycms-mailchimp) however, it does not seem to be compatible with refineycms 2.1.2. So I have decided use the Gibbon gem API wrapper.
Also, I read about decorators in the manual and that seems to be useful when you want to modify an existing Controller or Model.
How should I create a new controller?
Should I:
generate a new engine rails generate refinery:engine subscriber email:string This seems like an overkill to generate an engine to only add a controller and a route. I don't want to store the subscribers email on the database when I can have access to them on mailchimp.com
add another subscribe action to PostsController. I don't feel good about doing this because subscribers seems to be a resource and therefore deserves a controller.
create a new controller by simply running: [ rails generate controller subscribers index subscribe ] I feel this can potentially cause a problem when updating to a newer version of Refinerycms.
