TheOpenCMS weekly report

Week 1

Hello World! Content is Everything!

This week I've decided to create a new CMS on Rails 5. Actually I already have some code drafts and ideas about how my CMS has to work, and I think this time I'll reach my goal.

First of all I had to decide how I would split my CMS into the parts and how I would manage all this staff.

I choose git subtrees to manage dependencies in my project. With subtrees I can keep all the code in a one place and I will manage the only one repo, however I can update each dependance separately. I was confused with --squash option on the git subtree pull command. I don't like how this option works. And that's why I will not use it.

I've created a small ruby script to work with subtree commands. During the development process I do something like this:

ruby SUBTREES/subtree.rb add  the_open_cms

ruby SUBTREES/subtree.rb pull the_open_cms

ruby SUBTREES/subtree.rb push the_open_cms

With these commands I can add, pull, push all dependencies at the same time. Right now it works fine for me.

Gems were published

This week I've already published a few small but helpful gems. They will be used when I'll be implementing User's cabinet. There is the list of these gems:

  • voiceless very small gem helps split system in to the parts.
  • log_js very small gem provides a shortcut method log for method console.log.
  • pagination very small gem provides a helper for Kaminari pagination.
  • simple_sort small gem provides a few sort helpers for AR models.
  • image_tools small gem provides a few helpers for image manipulations.
  • crop_tool small gem provides a crop tool for Images.
  • notifications small gem provides a helper to show flash notifications in a Rails app.

Goals

My first goal is to create a user's cabinet (user registration & user profile). On the first step I will implement signing by email and most popular social networks. Also I have to implement avatars' uploading and maybe some email notifications. Not sure right now. We will see.

Current status

The app still doesn't work. There are a lot of things to do, but I know what I have to finish to make it alive. Wish me good luck :)
