GacoCms

GacoCMS is a simple CMS for Rails application. It allows you to create pages with custom fields and themes. It is a vanilla CMS with no other dependencies except Rails and liquid.

How to use my plugin.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gaco_cms', github: 'owen2345/gaco_cms'

And then execute:

$ bundle install
$ rails db:migrate

Generate config file and basic templates

$ rails g gaco_cms:install

Check the config/initilizers/gaco_cms.rb file to customize the settings, like the controller to manage authentication, the default theme, etc.

Add //= link gaco_cms in app/assets/config/manifest.js

color_settings = {
  tpl: 'my_fields/color',
  default_value_tpl: 'my_fields/color_default_value',
  translatable: false,
  label: { en: 'Color' }
}
GacoCms::Config.add_extra_field(:color, color_settings)

GacoCms::Config.parent_front_controller = 'ApplicationController'
GacoCms::Config.parent_backend_controller = 'Admin::BaseController'
GacoCms::Config.front_layout = ->(_controller) { 'application' }
