Welcome to TrustyCMS
TrustyCMS is a branch of Radiant CMS. Its goal is to pull the Radiant framework into Rails 7 with minimal changes to its infrastructure.
TrustyCMS is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a general purpose content management system (not just a blogging engine). TrustyCMS is a Rails engine and is built to be installed into an existing Rails 7 application as a gem.
TrustyCMS features:
- An elegant user interface
- The ability to arrange pages in a hierarchy with drag and drop
- Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom tagging language
- A simple user management/permissions system
- Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML (it's easy to create other filters)
- An advanced plugin system
- Asset management & searching
- Serve multiple sites (domains) from a single instance
- Social sharing buttons
- Reusable bits of content (Snippets)
- Allows Rails controllers/actions to use Trusty CMS layouts as their "layout"
- Operates in two modes: dev and production depending on the URL
- A caching system which expires pages every 5 minutes
- Built using Ruby on Rails (version 7)

Installation and Setup for Use

See the INSTALL.md file for more instructions.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/pgharts/trusty-cms.git
so that you can keep up with changes that other people make. - Fetch the remote you just added:
git fetch upstream
. - Start a new branch for the change you're going to make. Name it something having to do with the changes, like "
fix-queries" if you are going to try to fix some queries. Base this branch on
upstream/master
by runninggit checkout -b fix-queries upstream/master
