Looks interesting. The publish, edit, etc color-highlighted links are a little odd. I''d go with plain buttons and then that metaphor wouldn''t conflict with later enhancements, like colored highlighting when showing diffs. I like the way you did the left-hand page hierarchy with the floating Add. You might want to move user_can_add, user_can_edit, and other user attribute methods out of ApplicationHelper; I wouldn''t consider them view-oriented. You might consider Rick Olsen''s acts_as_authenticated for handling users (as well as his acts_as_versioned), and take a look at my authorization plugin (http://www.writertopia.com/developers/authorization) for handling the user authorizations (edit/publish/...)

Thomas, Do you see this as a similar package to say Sugar CRM. I don''t mean the type of application or functionality but where others can customize and provide "services" to clients around Seymore ?

I see Seymore as being very small and only providing the most necessary features through a clean API with a nice set of helpers. This will making theme-ing Seymore a simple task. The next thing that I want to do is design a plugin architecture to extend content types that are handled. So, I guess the answer to your question is yes. I see Seymore as being a solid CMS base that can be extended for various purposes.

Hi, Yes this does look interesting. I think Ruby on Rails really needs a CMS that can compete with Drupal. My compay is moving to Drupal from a bespoke Java CMS. I really do not like PHP and I really wanted it to be built on Ruby on Rails. But after using Drupal for a while, I came to the conclusion that there is nothing out there for rails that can compete (IMHO). I would have to build a system from the ground up. I have looked at most of the players for Rails CMS''s. I think this was also true for forums, until Beast :) Kind Regards Hamza --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Rick. I have looked at Radiant. But I don''t think it can compare to Drupal. Don''t get me wrong. I think Radiant is a great. But its just not there yet. But obvsioully that is due to time and community size. Drupal has been around a lot longer and has a heavy community submitting modules night and day. Lets hope, we as a community can create a CMS as active in developnment as Drupal. Whether that be Radiant or any other CMS. (although i think Radiant is the best bet :) Hamza Rick Olson wrote:> On 11/1/06, hamza khan-cheema <hamzakc-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Yes this does look interesting. > > > > I think Ruby on Rails really needs a CMS that can compete with Drupal. > > My compay is moving to Drupal from a bespoke Java CMS. > > > > I really do not like PHP and I really wanted it to be built on Ruby on > > Rails.

I just wanted to say quickly that a bug was brought to my attention that affected Seymore running with a MySQL database. I have committed the fix to the trunk and also posted some new distributions (0.1.1) on the project''s site (http://slicedsoftware.com/software/seymore/). All MySQL related issues should now be resolved.
