PagesCms

Try out a demo

Pages CMS uses nested forms and draggable items to allow the user to build a site within the predefined layout from a designer. It incorporates an image management system as well as a page management system. It's like a wordpress page builder on rails.

Advantages

  • Get hacking right away with out of the box support for bootstrap.
  • Easily drag page layouts into the position you want them.
  • Built in blog.
  • Limited dependencies.
  • Easily customized.
  • Lightweight and easy to understand: Built with simple rails techniques everyone can understand.

Installation

  1. Add: gem 'pages_cms' to your Gemfile
  2. Run: $ rails generate pages_cms:install
  3. Add: //= require cocoon to your application.js file

This has built everything that PagesCMS needs to work, but to get hacking with some default styling and layout included, follow the next steps:

  1. Run: rails generate pages_cms:views
  2. Add: gem "bootstrap-sass" to your Gemfile
  3. Add: //= require bootstrap to your application.js
  4. Add: *= require pages_cms/pages_cms to your application.css
  5. Run: $ bundle install

You should now be able to go to /admin/pages and start building pages!

The generator has added three methods to your App:

Method Usage
logged_in_admin Authorizes controllers in the PagesCms engine
current_user_is_admin? Verifies that the current user is an admin in the views
slugged_path Creates a slug of the path for user generated pages

Make sure to fill these methods out to secure your application.
