Seed

a Common Sense CMS from The Media Collective.

http://github.com/desaperados/seed/

Straightforward in-line content management without endless back-end screens and preference panes.
Create and manage General, News, Blog and Event style pages, add content or components to pages for
extra functionality.

User account creation with activation via e-mail and a permissions system for viewing and editing pages.

Default styles and views easily overridden by adding to the plug-in engine directory

Extend, Override, Add Controllers, Helpers, Models using plug-in engine technique

Quick Start

git clone git://github.com/desaperados/seed.git seed
cd seed
script/setup demo
script/server

Load http://localhost:3000 in your browser

Customising

All customisation is handled inside vendor/plugins/yourappname_engine

To override the default stylesheet create a file named default.css
in vendor/plugins/yourappname_engine/public/stylesheets/default.css

Additional stylesheets in this directory will be automatically detected
and included in the document head.

You can override default views by replicating the main seed view directory
in yourappname_engine/app/views. For example to override the default articles
index:

seed
  /app
    /views
      /articles
        index.html.erb

Create your own index.html.erb here:

seed
  /vendor
    /plugins
      /yourappname_engine
        /app
          /articles
            index.html.erb

There is no possible to delete page which has no visible title

There is no possible to delete page which has no visible title. Also I want to keep some pages in the draft and publish them as necessary, this implies an archive of articles in the classic style.
