Hi guys I need to create a website + blog with Rails. Instead of doing all of this myself I think it''s better to use an existing CMS or blog. It must be easy to extend with others rails applications or controllers and easy to use for the people who will write articles. Could you give me some advices ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I havent actually published a blog using it, but I did have a play with it. Installation and setup was about 10 mins to have a play with it.

If you want a pure blogging solution, I''d recommend Mephisto. But if you want more than blogging than go for Radiant CMS. One word of caution about Radiant CMS is that it can be used for blogging, its missing commenting features right now. Comments are coming but not here yet. scott On Sep 13, 2006, at 7:01 AM, Cédric H. wrote:> > I need to create a website + blog with Rails.

Re: Which is the best CMS or blog in Rails ?
Typo(gem install typo) is the biggest player. It''s got pretty much every feature there is but as with other huge systems like that it''s a bit of a beast. And it''s by far the slowest. Mephisto (http://mephistoblog.com/) is a more scaled down simple system but still with all major blogging features. You can see it in use at the official RoR blog. (http://weblog.rubyonrails.org) Simplelog(http://simplelog.net/) is the snappy player. Few features compared to the others but it''s fast, simple and looks great like you can see at the dev''s blog (http://maniacalrage.net/) Only typo has CMS built in for those other more static pages you might want. But you could add the kick ass Comatose plugin(http://comatose.rubyforge.org/) to add that functionality. Radiant CMS is fine but I personally never found much love with it. I personally for http://www.jongretar.net went with a combination of Ozimodo(http://ozimodo.rubyforge.org/) and Comatose CMS.

Re: Which is the best CMS or blog in Rails ?
I tested Typo and I thought it was rather cumbersome and all Typo blogs seem to look the same.. Simplelog and Mephisto seems far better though. Less is more sometimes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks ! I ''ll try Typo and Mephisto. I had a look in Radiant but the template language looks weird... If I use ( Typo | Radiant | Mephisto ) and modify it with another controller, model, views, ... what will happend when the gem must be updated ?

I wouldn''t say that comparing Typo, Mephisto, and Radian is up to date with the current crop of Rails-based CMS tools. Radiant may still be in the running, but it feels like "the herd" has moved on from Mephisto and Typo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Another option is adva cms by Sven Fuchs http://github.com/svenfuchs/adva_cms http://adva-cms.org/ I have never tried it myself but I will the next time I need a CMS. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

At the time, it was a promising newcomer but was missing a lot of features. That was last year; it wouldn''t surprise me if it''s a serious contender now.
