-# Banners extension for Refinery CMS.
+# Refinery CMS Banners
 
-## How to build this extension as a gem
+Simple banners engine for [Refinery CMS](http://refinerycms.com). Creates a many-to-many relationship between Pages and Banners, allowing an Image to be assigned to a Banner as well.
 
-    cd vendor/extensions/banners
-    gem build refinerycms-pc_banners.gemspec
-    gem install refinerycms-pc_banners.gem
+This version of `refinerycms-pc_banners` supports Rails 3.
 
-    # Sign up for a http://rubygems.org/ account and publish the gem
-    gem push refinerycms-pc_banners.gem

+## Requirements
+
+Refinery CMS version 2.0.0 and above.
+
+## Install
+
+Open up your ``Gemfile`` and add the following:
+
+    gem 'refinerycms-pc_banners', '2.0', :git => 'git://github.com/julesce/refinerycms-pc_banners.git'
+
+Now, run:
+
+    bundle install
+
+Next, run:
+
+    rails generate refinery:banners
+
+Migrate your database:
+
+    rake db:migrate
+
+And let's hook up the seed data:
+
+    rake db:seed
+
+## Usage
+
+It is up to you to make use of the banners assigned to your pages. To get the published banners for your current page:
+
+    @page.banners.published
+
+Let's say you are using the [Nivo Slider](http://nivo.dev7studios.com/) for your banners in your views, you could do the following:
+
+    <div id="nivo_slider">
+      <% if @page.present? and @page.banners.published.present? %>
+        <% @page.banners.published.each do |banner| %>
+          <%= image_fu(banner.image, '960x310#c') %>
+        <% end %>
+      <% end %>
+    </div>
+
+ Or you can use the following to accomplish something very similar to the above:
+
+     <%= render :partial => 'refinery/banners/shared/banners' %>
