EngineRoom

EngineRoom aims to be a simple to use, unobtrusive admin interface for rails applications. It is designed to be an add-on for existing web apps and not a full blown CMS. Just add EngineRoom to an app and it will create a customizable interface for editing the content data.

Development is still in its early stages, not ready for production use yet.

Features

• configure which models and which fields are editable

• customize form fields

• support for has_many and belongs_to relationships

• authentication und user management using Devise

• currently supports admin and non-admin roles, where the admin can configure the interface and create new users

• support for image uploads

• localization support (currently English and German)

Add to your Gemfile

gem 'engine_room'

then

bundle install

to setup engine_room, run the following generator:

rails generator engine_room:setup

which will create a few needed models, and finally:
