On Ruby 3.x, Rails 7.x +
Add gem definition to your Gemfile:
gem "comfortable_media_surfer", "~> 3.0.0"Then from the Rails project's root run:
bundle install
rails generate comfy:cms
rake db:migrate
Now take a look inside your config/routes.rb file. You'll see where routes attach for the admin area and content serving. Make sure that content serving route appears as a very last item or it will make all other routes to be inaccessible.
comfy_route :cms_admin, path: "/admin"
comfy_route :cms, path: "/"After finishing installation you should be able to navigate to http://localhost:3000/admin
Default username and password is 'user' and 'pass'. You probably want to change it right away. Admin credentials (among other things) can be found and changed in the cms initializer: /config/initializers/comfortable_media_surfer.rb
Before creating pages and populating them with content we need to create a Site. Site defines a hostname, content path and its language.
After creating a Site, you need to make a Layout. Layout is the template of your pages; it defines some reusable content (like header and footer, for example) and places where the content goes. A very simple layout can look like this:
<html>
<body>
<h1>{{ cms:text title }}</h1>
{{ cms:wysiwyg content }}
</body>
</html>Once you have a layout, you may start creating pages and populating content. It's that easy.
For more information on how to use this CMS please refer to the Wiki. Section that might be of interest is the entry on Content Tags.
Comfy Demo App also can be used as an example of a default Rails app with CMS installed.
If you want to add a Blog functionality to your app take a look at ComfyBlog.
CHANGELOG is documented in Github releases.
ComfortableMediaSurfer can run like any Rails application in development. It's as easy to work on as any other Rails app. For more detail see CONTRIBUTING
