Rails CMS module

Project description

Very often, we require static content for our Ruby on Rails SaaS web services. The most simple and straightforward way to achieve this is to enable a Rails view for multiple pages (including the landing page, About Us, Contact Us and Privacy Policy). This works well at the very beginning, but as soon as any changes — even small ones — are called for, an extraordinary amount of effort is then suddenly required. In such cases, you can either make use of WordPress or Drupal, or find another CMS system that is capable of performing the migration — suitable Rails CMSes are notoriously difficult to encounter. This is where Rails CMS module comes exceedingly in useful, as it consists of a custom plugin that can easily be configured for static content management and conveniently added to your company’s existing projects.

Languages support

Rails CMS module is distributed with two administrative locals: en and ru. Language selector for site guests can be expanded with any number of languages.

Installation

This guide describes the setup process.

In brief, you should not forget to run this two commands with terminal inside your project root path:

• add rails cms module gem folder to your project root path
• add to your Gemfile:

gem 'softwareplanet-cms', :path => './cms/softwareplanet-cms'

• run bundle command
• run rake cms:wizard rake command to finish setup.

If you clone from github, you will get the folder with dummy application that included softwareplanet-cms cms folder inside. It is already configured, and you can run it after both bundle and rake commands listed above. If you need real gem using, move the softwareplanet-cms folder into your project root, and change the path for new gem folder.
