How to Use

Once you get everything installed, you can define the types of Content you are going to use in your CMS by editing the content_types.yaml file

-
  name: pages
  fields:
    - title: string
    - body: text
    - image: file
    - section:
      - general
      - life style
      - cooking
      - gaming
      - rocket science
    - active: boolean
-
  name: stores
  fields:
    - name: string
    - address: text

From here, you can call on a ContentType for use in your template(e.g.)

@page = ContentTypes.pages.find(:title => "title").first
