3 CMS solutions for Ruby on Rails
If you’re looking for a CMS built in Ruby on Rails, here’s 3 solutions you might enjoy (in no particular order):
Adva-cms is an open source cms plattform based on Ruby on Rails and Rails Engines.
Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams.
Browser CMS is a new-comer on the Rails community but promise to stir things up. Take a look at their video presentation.
And here’s 3 screenshots of each CMS in action:
Which one do you recommend?
Browser CMS is the most impressive and with plenty of potential but it’s not production ready yet, as of this date.
Adva-CMS seems very good and supports internacionalization so I would problably give it a try.
RadiantCMS is good for more simple sites, I think, there’s some extensions that help improve some of the missing features you’ll probably need.
I have taked a look today at all the tree, and I agree. But browser cms has a nifty way to layout edition (i don’t figure out how to do it in radiant) and a html editor (I suposse radiand has a similar one if you search extensions)
Radiant seems impressive as well, its has many extensions: http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant#extensions
But i think they all lack a powerfull rich text editor like the one in moodle, for example.
Thanks 4 the post
@Lucas: in adva-cms, you can use a rich ext editor (FCKeditor) for all content.
There’s another option: zena CMS
It’s moving very fast right now but supports many advanced features already (multi-lingual, groups based access rights, custom object classes, custom attributes, image resizing, live preview, most powerful templating language ever, etc).
We have been working on this CMS since … 2005, constantly testing new ideas. We are currently working hard to smooth everything for our jump out of beta this autumn.
Stay tuned !
Another option is to “marry” Rails with a PHP-based CMS – use the PHP-CMS for the CMS front end and Rails as the back-end – and use Rails application parallel with the CMS generated pages! see: http://www.silverwirt.de/using-the-silverstripe-cms-within-rails/
How about RefineryCMS.
