AlchemyContentable¶ ↑

Use Alchemys element-essences-system in any model you like!

Setup¶ ↑

1. Setup your Rails app

2. Install and configure Alchemy CMS

3. add alchemy_contentable to Gemfile

4. create a model or extend it with (at least) this fields:

- name:string
- public:boolean
- locked:boolean
- locked_by:boolean
- page_layout
or
- name:string
- add t.contentable to migration

1. add t.stampable to migration

2. setup routes for your model:

   resources :elements
   collection do
     post :order
     post :flush
     post :copy_language_tree
     get :switch_language
     get :create_language
     get :link
     get :sort
   end
   member do
     post :unlock
     post :publish
     post :fold
     post :visit
     get :configure
     get :preview
   end
   

3. include AlchemyContentable::ModelMixin in your model

4. include AlchemyContentable::ControllerMixin in the model’s controller

5. include AlchemyContentable::AdminControllerMixin in the model’s admin-controller and inherit from Alchemy::Admin::ResourcesController there

6. inherit your models controller from Alchemy::BaseController

7. set up authorization to manage, edit_content and update_content

8. (optional) mount your controller as a module in alchemy

Issues¶ ↑

• no multilingual contents (yet)

• problems with authorization, commented many filters out

• no clipboard

• no tests, but rspec setup already…
