Typus is designed for a single activity:
Trusted users editing structured content.
Typus doesn't try to be all the things to all the people but it's extensible enough to match lots of use cases.
- Access control by users and roles.
- CRUD and custom actions for your models on a clean interface.
- I18n.
- Extensible and overwritable templates.
- Low memory footprint.
- MIT License, the same as Rails.
Step 1: Create a Rails application using a template.
$ rails example.com -m http://tr.im/typus_example
Step 2: Start the server.
$ cd example.com && script/server
Step 3: Go to the admin area
$ open http://0.0.0.0:3000/admin
Demo application is hosted at Heroku (http://typus.heroku.com/).
Use the following credentials to log in.
Email: user@intraducibles.com
Password: columbia
Install from GitHub the latest version which it's compatible with Rails 2.3.5.
$ script/plugin install git://github.com/fesplugas/typus.git
Once typus is installed, run the generator to create required files
and migrate your database.
$ script/generate typus
$ rake db:migrate
To create the first user, start the application server, go to http://0.0.0.0:3000/admin and follow the instructions.
If you want to be able to use delayed_job you need to add the following
two lines to your config/routes.rb file.
map.connect "admin/delayed/jobs/:action/:id", :controller => "admin/delayed/jobs"
map.connect "admin/delayed/jobs/:action/:id.:format", :controller => "admin/delayed/jobs"
And then create and configure config/typus/delayed_job.yml and
config/typus/delayed_job_roles.yml as you do with your other models.
# config/typus/delayed_job.yml
Delayed::Job:
fields:
list: ...
form: ...
search: ...
# config/typus/delayed_job_roles.yml
admin:
Delayed::Job: all
