Our corporate website, www.imustardsoft.com is based on "Radiant CMS":http://radiantcms.org, a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams. We love Radiant. Yes, I know, we are biased because it is based on Ruby on Rails, iMustardsoft's specialty technology. Radiant has many nice features:
1. An elegant user interface
2. A first-class extension/plugin system
3. Simple user management and permissions
4. Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom tagging language.
p. One of the most important functions in our website is Blog. Even though Radiant provides blog (articles) out of the box, it wasn't exactly what we needed. We want our team members to be able to post articles and don't interfere each other. After trying out existing extensions, we decided to develop our own blog engine to achieve it. Thus, a new blog extension is born @ "http://github.com/imustardsoft/Radiant-blog":http://github.com/imustardsoft/Radiant-blog.
This extension add a new user role “blogger”; it adds access control functionality to Radiant, so that each blogger user can only modify their own blogs and they are not able to change the site.
To install Blog, run: rake radiant:extensions:blog:migrate
This will add 'blogger' and 'blog_directory' column to users and pages table
