Rotoscop
========
Rotoscop is a minimalistic CMS that allows you to create pages and put
elements inside this page, with different styles and format.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To see all available tasks for Rotoscop run:
rake -T slices:rotoscop
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for installation:
file: config/init.rb
# add the slice as a regular dependency
dependency 'rotoscop'
# if needed, configure which slices to load and in which order
Merb::Plugins.config[:merb_slices] = { :queue => ["Rotoscop", ...] }
# optionally configure the plugins in a before_app_loads callback
Merb::BootLoader.before_app_loads do
Merb::Slices::config[:rotoscop][:option] = value
end
file: config/router.rb
# example: /rotoscop/:controller/:action/:id
add_slice(:Rotoscop)
# example: /:lang/:controller/:action/:id
add_slice(:Rotoscop, :path => ':lang')
# example: /:controller/:action/:id
slice(:Rotoscop)
Normally you should also run the following rake task:
rake slices:rotoscop:install
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can put your application-level overrides in:
host-app/slices/rotoscop/app - controllers, models, views ...
Templates are located in this order:
1. host-app/slices/rotoscop/app/views/*
2. gems/rotoscop/app/views/*
3. host-app/app/views/*
You can use the host application's layout by configuring the
rotoscop slice in a before_app_loads block:
Merb::Slices.config[:rotoscop] = { :layout => :application }
By default :rotoscop is used. If you need to override
stylesheets or javascripts, just specify your own files in your layout
instead/in addition to the ones supplied (if any) in
host-app/public/slices/rotoscop.
In any case don't edit those files directly as they may be clobbered any time
rake rotoscop:install is run.
