Dependencies

File attachments are handled by ActiveStorage. Make sure that you can run appropriate migrations by running: rails active_storage:install
Image resizing is done with with ImageMagick, so make sure it's installed.
Pagination is handled by kaminari or will_paginate. Please add one of those to your Gemfile.

Installation

Add gem definition to your Gemfile:

gem "comfortable_mexican_sofa", "~> 2.0.0"

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: "/"

Quick Start Guide

After finishing installation you should be able to navigate to http://localhost:3000/admin

Default username and password is 'username' and 'password'. 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_mexican_sofa.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.

Documentation

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.
