Welcome to adva-cms =================== adva-cms is a cutting edge open source application platform based on Ruby on Rails and Rails Engines. Different from others, adva-cms lives in vendor directory and keeps your main app directory clean and dandy. So you can reclaim app directory and use it only for your own application files. adva-cms makes it extensible: you can only pick those engines/features you really need for your application and omit the rest. All engines are designed to work together seamlessly, so the whole platform feels much more consistent for similar but separate Rails applications. Please check out /doc directory and our site http://adva-cms.org for more info. Installation: Release 0.1.2 =========================== Required: Rails 2.3.2, ImageMagick for image handling # install Rails 2.3.2 gems if you don't have them already sudo gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org # install and setup adva-cms using a template rails my-app -m http://github.com/svenfuchs/adva_cms/raw/master/templates/adva-cms.0.1.2.rb # there's no step 2 cd my-app ruby script/server open http://localhost:3000 You should see adva-cms installation screen. Fill out the form and you're started, enjoy! You can install additional engines and plugins through rake adva:install. See below for more about that. Installation: Edge version using rails template =============================================== Required: Rails 2.3.2, ImageMagick for image handling # install Rails 2.3.2 gems if you don't have them already sudo gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org # install and setup adva-cms using a template rails my-app -m http://github.com/svenfuchs/adva_cms/raw/master/templates/adva-cms.master.rb # there's no step 2 cd my-app ruby script/server open http://localhost:3000 You should see adva-cms installation screen. Fill out the form and you're started, enjoy! You can install additional engines and plugins through rake adva:install. See below for more about that. Installation: Edge version manually =================================== Required: Rails 2.3.2.1 or newer, ImageMagick for image handling # First install Rails 2.3.2.1 gems if you don't have it already sudo gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org # Create your app rails my-app cd my-app rm public/index.html # Prepare the config/environment.rb and remove the public/index.html # in config/environment.rb make sure you have: require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot') require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '../vendor/adva/engines/adva_cms/boot') # insert this line # Clone the adva-cms ( this might take a bit, grab a coffee meanwhile :) ) git clone git://github.com/svenfuchs/adva_cms.git vendor/adva # or use: git submodule add ... # Install the core engines and copy the assets rake adva:install:core -R vendor/adva/engines/adva_cms/lib/tasks # install adva-cms to vendor/plugins/ rake adva:assets:copy # copy plugin assets to public/ # Migrate the database and start the server rake db:migrate ruby script/server open http://localhost:3000 You should see adva-cms installation screen. Fill out the form and you're started, enjoy! Installing/Uninstalling adva-cms engines and plugins ==================================================== You can install/uninstall adva-cms engines and plugins by using a set of rake tasks. Installation simply works by symlinking (copying on Windows) to vendor/plugins. There are the following tasks/subtasks: rake adva:install:all rake adva:install:core rake adva:install rake adva:uninstall:all rake adva:uninstall:core rake adva:uninstall For each of these tasks you can specify the option except and give it a list of engine/plugin names that should be excluded from the install/ uninstall task. E.g. rake adva:install:all except=adva_themes,adva_wiki rake adva:uninstall:all except=adva_themes,adva_wiki For the tasks adva:install and adva:uninstall one can specify the options engines and plugins and give it a list of engine/plugin names that should be included to the task. E.g. rake adva:install engines=adva_themes,adva_wiki plugins=adva_url_history rake adva:uninstall engines=adva_themes,adva_wiki plugins=adva_url_history (Accidentally, for the task adva:install:core one can specify the plugins option in the same way and thus install all core engines plus certain plugins.) For both the engines and plugins options one can specify the keyword "all" which then expands to all available engines and plugins respectively. Thus, these are equivalent: rake adva:install:all rake adva:install engines=all plugins=all When the "all" keyword is used with the uninstall task this only applies to all engines and plugins except the adva-cms core engines. To uninstall these you can still simply delete the symlinks (directories on Windows) from vendor/plugins. NOTE please note that right now assets not copied to public/ when engines are installed and they are not removed from public/ when engines are uninstalled. So after you've installed additional engines you'll most probably want to copy the assets to public: rake adva:assets:copy Configuration ============= You can change adva-cms configuration by including an initializer to your application and overwriting things that adva-cms sets as defaults. See the initializers in adva-cms engines/plugins, e.g. in vendor/plugins/adva_cms/config/initializers/* Running tests ============= Running tests for adva-cms version 0.1.2 or newer: rake db:test:clone # Clones from your development database to test database ruby script/test-adva-cms -p # Prepares the database and runs all adva-cms tests ruby script/test-adva-cms # Runs all adva-cms tests without preparing the database ruby script/test-adva-cms vendor/plugins/adva_wiki # Runs only adva_wiki tests Please check out /doc directory for high level overview about adva-cms.
