# Spina CMS

Content management system built into Ruby on Rails applications, with its own admin interface at /admin.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Spina CMS is a content management system that runs inside a Ruby on Rails application. It is added to a Rails project through a Gemfile entry and set up with the `rails spina:install` task, after which the admin interface is served at `/admin`. All page content is stored in a single JSON column in the application's database, and parts support translations out of the box. Rendered output uses ERB views.

## Worth knowing

The website named in the repository does not resolve, so the guide read here is the `docs` folder in the [repository](https://github.com/SpinaCMS/Spina/tree/main/docs/v2).
