Welcome to TrustyCMS

Gem Version

TrustyCMS is a branch of Radiant CMS. Its goal is to pull the Radiant framework into Rails 7 with minimal changes to its infrastructure.

TrustyCMS is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a general purpose content management system (not just a blogging engine). TrustyCMS is a Rails engine and is built to be installed into an existing Rails 7 application as a gem.

See the INSTALL.md file for more instructions.

Installation and Setup for Contributing to TrustyCMS

Setup

Prerequisites:

Steps:

  1. Fork this repository to your Github account.
  2. Clone your fork to your machine.
  3. cd into the directory you just cloned into.
  4. Follow the INSTALL.md instructions to setup an empty app with TrustyCMS installed. To modify TrustyCMS, point your dependency to the local path of your fork.

gem 'trusty-cms', path: '../trusty-cms'

  1. Set up your databases in your Rails application:

    bundle exec rake db:create
bundle exec rake db:migrate

  2. Run the tests to make sure they pass (If they don't, file a bug!):

    rspec

When you're ready to make a change:

  1. Add the pgharts fork as a git remote called "upstream": git remote add upstream https://github.com/pgharts/trusty-cms.git so that you can keep up with changes that other people make.
  2. Fetch the remote you just added: git fetch upstream.
  3. Start a new branch for the change you're going to make. Name it something having to do with the changes, like " fix-queries" if you are going to try to fix some queries. Base this branch on upstream/master by running git checkout -b fix-queries upstream/master.
  4. Make your changes and commit them. Please include tests!
  5. Run the tests and make sure they pass.
  6. Push your changes to your github fork: git push origin fix-queries.
  7. Send a pull request to the pgharts fork.
