Step 1: First, a Layout is created. There you define your HTML structure for the page and tags that are used to populate content.
Step 2: Tags that were defined in the Layout dictate what form fields are going to be rendered during Page creation.
Step 3: When rendering a Page, Layout content and Page content (along with everything else) are merged and displayed.
- Tags: Page Tag
- Tags: Field Tag
- Tags: Snippet Tag
- Tags: Helper and Partial Tags
- Layouts: Using Application Layout
- Layouts: Nesting Layouts
- Layouts: CMS managed CSS and JS
- Sites
To upgrade to a newer version of Sofa bust bump up the version number in your Gemfile and run bundle install. After that run rails g cms and if necessary replace css/js/images with newer versions. Sometimes there will be migrations that you'll need to run. They will be found in /db/migrate/upgrades. You'll need to run them in sequence starting with whatever version you're upgrading from.
