Spree Essential Content

Spree Essential Content is a fully featured CMS with pages, contents, images and more. It has a blog complete with archives, categories, tags and related products. base for many content related extensions for Spree. It also provides an asset-upload interface.

This is a fork of the excellent spree_essentials gem by @citrus. The changes to the gem are:

• Use rspec and spree's native test_app rake task instead of Test:Unit and dummier
• No longer including the markdown editor. It's easier to use the spree_editor gem and set up a rich text editor like TinyMCE.
• We have merged all the spree_essential gems into this one. Since many people actually install all 3 gems to begin with, there is no need to continue to keep them seperate. This decision was made in the interest of maintainability.

Installation

If you don't already have an existing Spree site, click here then come back later... You can also read the Spree docs here...

Spree Essential Content can be installed by itself by adding the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'spree_essential_content', github: 'FineLineAutomation/spree_essential_content'

If you are using a version of spree lower than 2.4, please see one of the stable branches for the right version of this gem. Please also note I am not maintaining anything below Spree 2.3 now.

Then run:

bundle install

Once that's complete, run the migration generator and migrate your database:

Now run the generator to install the extension.

rails g spree_essential_content:install

Then migrate your database:

rake db:migrate

If that all went smoothly, you should be ready to boot the server with:

rails s

Now login to the admin and click on the 'Content' tab!
