Static Content
#Static Content
Good, clean content management of pages for Spree. You can use this to:
- Add and manage static pages such as an ‘About’ page.
- Show a static page instead of existing dynamic pages such as the home page,
products pages, and taxon pages.
To override a dynamic page, use the path of that dynamic page as the slug when
you create your page in the Spree Administration area, including the
leading slash. For example:
- to override the home page, use a path of ‘/’ (without quotes).
- to override a product page, use its path, e.g. ‘/products/apache-baseball-jersey’ (without quotes).
The dynamic page can be made available again if you delete the static page or change its slug.
Create your own copy of the `app/views/content/show.html.erb` template in your site
extension to change the layout of the static pages.
##Example to use the static pages inside a menu
- < = link_to page.title, page.link >
<% for page in Page.header_links do >
< end %>
- Installation
1. Add `gem “spree_static_content”` and `gem “spree_editor”, :path => “../../spree_editor”` to your Gemfile
1. Run `bundle install`
1. Run `rails g spree_static_content:install`
1. Run `rake db:migrate`
1. Run `rake spree_editor:install`
- NOTE: This is now an officially supported extension. The original extension was written by Peter Berkenbosch.

Your installation instructions are currently different than what is on git hub. The instructions here did not work for me, but the ones on github did. Should users be directed to github for installation instructions so you don't have to worry about them getting out of sync?
Even though this extension doesn't qualify as a full blown CMS (no menu admin), people searching for a CMS in the extension page may be plenty happy with the provided functionality. But this extension doesn't come up with searching for "cms." I feel it should.
Wouldn't work for me until I added formtastic to my Gemfile, other than that really sweet extention - thanks very much.
The gem requires Spree 1.0.x: " In Gemfile: spree_static_content depends on spree_core (>= 1.0.0.beta)" Any way to get gems that can work with 0.70.x?
Figured it out. Neither the instructions here nor on Github work for 0.70.x right now. I had to use this line in Gemfile: gem 'spree_static_content', :git => 'git://raw.github.com/spree/spree_static_content.git', :branch => '0-70-stable'
