Alchemy CMS

Alchemy is a powerful, user-friendly and flexible Rails 3 CMS. This is not everything Alchemy can do, but is is a great start to see what it can do for you and more importantly how it feels to use it. It is a Full of Features like Highly flexible Templating, SEO friendly, RSS Feeds,Contact forms, Attachments and downloads,Powerful image rendering,Caching, Hostable on any Server that supports Ruby on Rails, a SQL Database and ImageMagick etc..

Alchemy runs with Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.9.3 and Rails 3.2.11+.only. You can install it by fallowing way...
gem install alchemy_cms
alchemy new Your_app_name  
E.g. alchemy new alchemyapp (alchemyapp is my rails application name.)

cd alchemyapp

bundle install

It´s recommended to create the folders Alchemy CMS needs.

rails generate alchemy:scaffold

rake alchemy:install:migrations

Migrate the database to get the table structure.

rake db:migrate

Seed the database with initial data.

rake alchemy:db:seed


Now that you have Alchemy CMS successfully installed. Then just switch to your browser and open
http://localhost:3000 and use it

Polymorphic Associations With Active Record

Model associations are one of the things that every new Ruby on Rails developer must understand in order to effectively use the framework. The concept behind these relationships is rather simple, and most people have little trouble grasping it once introduced.

In polymorphic associations, a model can fit into more than one model, on a single association. Like just about everything else in the Ruby on Rails world, there is a ‘Rails way’ to do polymorphic associations. This involves leveraging the support that is built in to Rails’ standard ORM, Active Record. You set up a polymorphic association in very much the same way that you would a typical has_many.
 
Here are the steps to implement the polymorphic association between these three models.
                        app/models/comment.rb
                        class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
                        belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true #...

                        app/models/post.rb

                        class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
                        has_many :comments, as: :commentable #...


                        app/models/profile.rb
                        class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
                        has_many :comments, as: :commentable #...


                        migration
 
                       class CreateComments < ActiveRecord::Migration

                       def change
                       create_table :comments do |t|

                       t.references :commentable, polymorphic: true #...

                       end

                       end

                       end

Here you can see that all we’re really doing is passing a couple of parameters to the :has_many and :belongs_to methods. The migration will generate two columns on the Comments table, ‘commentable_id’ and ‘commentable_type’. Behind the scenes, Active Record will wire up all of the helper methods that you’re used to using with normal associations. Now the comment model will work as a polymorphic association between Post and Profile model.

And there you have it, both posts and profiles can have their own comments. The obvious limitation here is that, since we’re only setting a single foreign key and type, a comment can only belong to one other object at a time. This may be the desired functionality for some use cases. Sometimes, however, you’ll want to be able to associate a single model with multiple other models of different types at the same time.
