Copilot

A super simple, minimal cms for rails. Unleash your content by letting your copilot take the wheel!

Quick start

1. Add gem 'copilot', git: 'https://github.com/launchpadlab/copilot.git' to your Gemfile
2. Run rails generate copilot:install
3. Add //= require jquery and //= require copilot/application to your application.js
4. Add *= require copilot/application to your application.css
5. Add some editable text to your erb files with

<%= copilot_text 'slug', 'Editable Text' %>

or

<%= copilot_text 'slug' do %>
  Editable Text
<% end %>

6. Add a header to be able to edit login <%= copilot_edit_panel %>
7. Visit /cms/admin to login.

Slugs

By default, slugs are prefixed using the controller and action handling the request so "slug.foo" becomes "controller_name.action_name.slug.foo". You can override this by prepending a "." to the provided slug so ".slug.foo" will become "slug.foo". Beware, if your slugs are not globally unique, some content may be overwritten.

Configuration

You can set the app name to display in your CMS header by adding an initializer copilot and setting the config.app_name property.

Backend

Copilot adds a table to your database named copilot_content that contains all of the content under the control of copilot.
