Rails, RefineryCMS, can I still create custom controllers, models, etc

Question

I want to continue to create rails controllers and models as I would using rails directly.

Is it possible to have the site use the CMS except on specific objects I want to create the normal Rails way or do I have push all my code through Refinery and use decorators for development?

Answer 1

Yes.

You have multiple options here. Among them:

• Create pure vanilla Ruby on Rails components.

• Copy and edit some RefineryCMS files. The local copy will override the one in the gem.

• You can also create presentors and decorators

• Create an extension to RefineryCMS.
