ComfortableMexicanSofa is a powerful CMS Engine for your Rails 3 applications.
- Simple integration with Rails 3 apps. Supports Rails 3.1, 3.2 running Ruby 1.9.2, 1.9.3 or 2.0.0
- Build your application in Rails, not in CMS
- Powerful page templating capability using Tags
- Multiple Sites from a single installation
- Multilingual
- Fixtures for initial content population
- Revision History
- Great extendable admin interface built with Bootstrap, CodeMirror and WYSIHTML5
Add gem definition to your Gemfile:
gem 'comfortable_mexican_sofa'
Then from the Rails project's root run:
bundle install
rails generate comfy:cms
rake db:migrate
Now take a look inside your config/routes.rb file. You'll see where routes attach for the admin area and content serving. Make sure that content serving route appears as a very last item.
ComfortableMexicanSofa::Routing.admin :path => '/cms-admin'
ComfortableMexicanSofa::Routing.content :path => '/', :sitemap => falseWhen upgrading from the older version please take a look at Upgrading ComfortableMexicanSofa
After finishing installation you should be able to navigate to http://yoursite/cms-admin
Default username and password is 'username' and 'password'. You probably want to change it right away. Admin credentials (among other things) can be found and changed in the cms initializer: /config/initializers/comfortable_mexican_sofa.rb
Before creating pages and populating them with content we need to create a Site. Site defines a hostname, content path and it's language.
After creating a Site, you need to make a Layout. Layout is the template of your pages; it defines some reusable content (like header and footer, for example) and places where the content goes. A very simple layout can look like this:
<html>
<body>
<h1>{{ cms:page:header:string }}</h1>
{{ cms:page:content:text }}
</body>
</html>Once you have a layout, you may start creating pages and populating content. It's that easy.
