Guts

A mountable, multisite, CMS engine for Rails 4.

Intensions

This engine is simply released to provide a basic, but full-featured CMS solution for Rails applications. It is not indented to mimic or become an all-inclusive Wordpress system.

Installation

Include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'guts', "~> 1.0"
# or for master: gem "guts", git: "[email protected]:tyler-king/guts.git"

Next, run the following commands:

bundle # fetches the new gem
bundle exec rake guts:install:migrations # installs Guts migrations
bundle exec rake db:migrate # load migrations into your database
bundle exec rake guts:db:seed # pre-configures some content type, groups, etc (creates an "Admins" group which is important)
bundle exec rake guts:user:create[{name},{email},{password},true] # creates a user (replace the values)

Open config/routes.rb in your Rails application and add:

mount Guts::Engine => "/admin"

You will now be able to access Guts by visiting /admin in your Rails application.
