Static Content

Good, clean content management of pages for Spree. You can use this to:

  • Add and manage static pages such as an ‘About’ page.

  • Show a static page instead of existing dynamic pages such as the home page, products pages, and taxon pages.

To override a dynamic page, use the path of that dynamic page as the slug when you create your page in the Spree Administration area, including the leading slash. For example:

  • to override the home page, use a path of ‘/’ (without quotes).

  • to override a product page, use its path, e.g. ‘/products/apache-baseball-jersey’ (without quotes).

The dynamic page can be made available again if you delete the static page or change its slug.

Create your own copy of the app/views/content/show.html.erb template in your site extension to change the layout of the static pages.

Example to use the static pages inside a menu

<ul>
  <% for page in Page.header_links do %>
    <li><%= link_to page.title, page.link %></li>
  <% end %>
</ul>
