Guts

A mountable, extendable, multisite, CMS engine for Rails 5.

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-like system.

Installation

Include the gem in your Gemfile and run bundle install:

gem 'guts', '~> 3.0.0'
# or for master: gem 'guts', git: 'git@github.com:tyler-king/guts.git'

Next, run the following commands for a install of routes, initializer, and editor configurations:

bin/rails generate guts:install

Note: If you'd prefer to install individually, see all generators via bin/rails generate --help | grep guts

Next, run:

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:all # pre-configures required admin group, content types, etc
bundle exec rake guts:user:create[{name},{email},{password}] # creates a user (replace the values)
bundle exec rake guts:user:set_master[{email}] # allows user to access everything in the admin panel, should be done for initial user (replace the values)

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

Configuration

No post-install configuration is required but if you wish to change anything see configurations in docs.

Documentation

See extra under docs for information on Guts itself. The docs contain information for configuration usage, extending, and how to implement multisite support.

For code documentation, you can run bundle exec yardoc of visit rubydocs.info.

Commands

To see all commands available simply run bundle exec rake -T guts. It contains tasks for user creation, user deletion, changing user passwords, database seeds for install, and migration installs.
