Hi: I need to setup a content management solution for a client. We have built a rails CRUD app but now he would like a CMS and we also need to integrate the CMS with CRUD app (well same themes, login etc..) I have found some rails based CMS listed here and tried most of them... (That are in active development) http://www.rubyonrailsblog.com/articles/2006/08/28/top-20-ruby-on-rails-content-management-systems-cms Seems like this is the most comprehensive list? correct? no? Are there more...? Any experience/advice you can provide?

Dan, I will be very interested to hear which one you choose. I''ve tried out Goldberg and Beast and both seem cool, but they also seem DEAD? It''s hard to jump on a CMS product that shows no signs of life. I''m not complaining about the guys that built these, I know they''ve got to follow the MONEY, but it''s hard to build your dreamhouse on a questionable foundation. I''ve got some interesting ideas in this area, if you''d like to talk sometime?

Radiant is used by ruby-lang.org, so it is not likely do die anytime soon. Also, it''s design is very Ruby-like: simple yet powerful and extensible.

FYI, Goldberg is not dead. version 0.2 was release on April 1st or 2nd. Dave is always on the forums answering questions (http:// www.forum.goldberg.240gl.org/). Version 0.2 also has some advancement in the CMS. I''m not familiar with them because I don''t need anything fancy for my content pages, just text.

Hi BraveDave,> I will be very interested to hear which one you choose. I''ve tried out > Goldberg and Beast and both seem cool, but they also seem DEAD? > It''s hard to jump on a CMS product that shows no signs of life. I''mGoldberg 0.2 was released 7 days ago. Goldberg is undergoing active development. If you look at the Rubyforge project you will see that Goldberg has regular bi-monthly releases.> not complaining about the guys that built these, I know they''ve got to > follow the MONEY, but it''s hard to build your dreamhouse on a > questionable foundation.Goldberg is a not-for-profit venture. It is Free (freedom) software. There is no non-free/commercial version of Goldberg, neither is one planned. It''s produced by a team of software professionals who share an interest in producing an enterprise-grade application deployment environment for Rails, but apart from our interest in Goldberg we don''t share any other affiliation. If anyone is interested in finding out more about Goldberg come visit the website at http://goldberg.240gl.org or the forum at http://forum.goldberg.240gl.org.

I develop a simple, open source, CMS solution called Seymore. I just released some new features (page slugs and drag and drop page reordering) but haven''t updated the screen casts yet. project page: http://www.slicedsoftware.com/software/seymore change log: http://seymore.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CHANGELOG (everything after the screencasts) On Apr 5, 4:44 am, Dan Olsson <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi: > > I need to setup a content management solution for a client.

Hi: Thanks a lot for the reply. I have now tested bunch of CMS and my conclusion (based on my needs) are as follows: Simplelog - Doesn''t introduce yet another markup language (i.e. Liquid, Haml) etc. Easy to customize/rip but probably difficult to stay in sync with code base. Cos simplelog doesn''t have any "plugin" system so you can''t extend it based on your needs -- without fooling around with core code. mephistoblog - Has plugin system but use markup like liquid (which lacks documentation so newbies will have a hard time getting into). Has a healthy community .. seems like its moving forward but seems to be some "future concern" about it -- read mephistoblog.com. One can extended mephisto using ERB, HAML but its not as solid as Liquid if you know liquid then its your best bet. Radiant - Yet another markup langauge or template system .. has a good base of users .. not so much activity in trac.. last update was 2 months ago.. powers ruby-lang site. Probably very good CMS .. you can extend it using so called "behaviours" Typo - The big giant but so far i have seen folks hates it or loves it :0 and it was completely dead for a long time prior to.. before 4.0 but seems like there are lot of activity now.. I would love to hear folks using it for CMS and extending it while staying current.. This is the one tool I haven''t actually installed and tried yet. All other CMS that I looked into seems like came out of "a project" and it depends how much "a project" is simillar to your project. I am leaning towards mephisto (maybe typo) unless someone here had a real bad experience with it. Please let me know.. even though liquid is new to me I like the fact that I can upgrade things without pain i.e. have all my modifications as plugins. There are alos lot of plugins so cooking plugin is not difficult. Any other input from real world CMS case is always welcome .. I like to know as much as I can before deciding a route..

If you want to integrate your CMS, you can look at Comatose: http://comatose.rubyforge.org/. Personally, I like keeping it completely separate. All you need is a global CSS stylesheet to "integrate". I can update the blog or the app without disturbing the other. I can also run multiple project sites off one Mephisto instance. Keep your app focused on kicking ass at what it does, and let your CMS tool kick ass at managing your static content :) Same logins are tricky, though for now I think OpenID is the best solution. You can do weird session/database hacks, or you can use a standard protocol that''s starting to catch on. It depends on who your audience is though. I think OpenID is a bit too new for the "general web public". -- Rick Olson http://lighthouseapp.com http://weblog.techno-weenie.net http://mephistoblog.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

One of the things I like about Goldberg is how they maintain independence between your application and the plugin. You get support for users, authentication, and permissions to access specific pages and controller/actions, without having to change your app. If I understand correctly, as powerful as Goldberg is, that reduces your risk should you decide to fall back to acts_as_authenticated or some other plugin(s) in the future. http://goldberg.240gl.org/internals --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Dan, A couple of things could be said for Goldberg. Based on your original description of your needs, it might be a very good fit. Goldberg gives you a simple CMS where you can create content pages and put them into your site''s menu. It also allows you to add your own Rails apps and add their actions to the menu too. There''s an almost-zero learning curve with Goldberg: you code your apps as normal using Rails and just drop them in. You don''t have to learn any custom tagging systems or anything. Configuring your apps so they''re secure and putting their actions in the menu is done through the web interface. As linoj noted, you can back out of Goldberg later if you decide it doesn''t suit you. A fresh install of Goldberg bootstraps with some sample data and layouts, so it only takes a few minutes to set it up and give it a go. But the #1 argument (I think) for Goldberg is that it offers one of the most powerful and flexible security systems of any Rails framework. For controller security, it has a role-based security system that''s integrated with navigation: users can only see actions in the menu to which they have permissions. And you can use information about the currently logged-in user and their credentials to implement model and view security. If you want a blog or something then sure, there are lots of better alternatives out there. But if you want to deploy an enterprise application on the web using Rails, I think (and I''m completely biased of course) Goldberg is the premier choice.
