jeff-flatpage by Otto srl, MIT license

jeff-flatpage is a jeff module that lets you store simple "flat" HTML content in a database and handles the management for you via jeff’s admin interface.

Use it for one-off, special-case pages, such as "About" or "Privacy Policy" pages, that you want to store in a database but for which you don’t want to develop a custom Jeff module.

The module is provided with english and italian translations, and a mysql statement for the table creation.
Media (images, videos) may be added to the page content, whose access may also be restricted to some system groups.
The access to backoffice administration is restricted to users having the flatpage admin permission.
