ruby
Today, I found a really good CMS. I'm looking for ruby 3 CMS for a while. I found this CMS solution that use my favorite NoSQL database system: MongoDB. I think multi site feature is rare in ror applications. Locomotive CMS do it.
Locomotive is an open source CMS for Rails 3. It's super flexible and integrates with Heroku and Amazon
Some features from technical Specs:
The problem
I want to write JavaScript files that use dynamic informations via Ruby on Rails. I think my solution also works with rails 2 and 3.
What can dynamic JavaScript do for you? You can write JavaScript on your ERB (embedded ruby) file beside HTML code. This is very simple, but not the best solution for a longer jQuery script.
For example:
Translation in JavaScript: translation with I18n.t() Rails method would be great in separated JavaScript file with ERB capability.
// some jquery code before alert alert(<%= I18n.t(:forbidden_message) %>);
Here is an example, what show the way you can translate your mongoid models:
You can also customize error messages as you will see in the next example.
User model translation Example:
en.yml content:
en:
mongoid:
errors:
models:
user:
attributes:
email:
blank: "You have to give me your e-mail address"
not_found: "e-mail address not found in list of members"
#...
attributes:
user:
email: "Email address"
name: "Your nickname"
#...
I got the following error when i run a rake db:seed command on may RoR application:
invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
I found the soution and the error has gone away:
You should add a line to your file:
# encoding: utf-8
You can change the utf-8 to any other encoding that you use.
I added this line to my seeds.rb file and all UTF-8 code have been executed without errors.
Good luck!
I've collected all open source CMS based on rails 3.x.
Rails CMS/Wiki/Forum
This is a very simple but feature rich CMS framework. It is good startpoint for a new rails project what will be wiki, Forum or CMS
Source: https://github.com/jlapier/Rails-CMS-Wiki-Forum
Casein CMS
This is a very minimal and lightweight CMS. Only users table created on rak db:migrate. It is a good start point for any content based application. This application scaffolding your rails app with a very beauty user interface.
Make config.ru with following content:
require 'rubygems' require 'sinatra' require './my_sinatra_application.rb' run Sinatra::Application
You have to run bundle command. This will be install all necessary gems that listed in Gemfile.
You find debug log in default apache 2 error log files. This is /var/log/apache2/error.log in my case.
