Docs: Sites

Overview

When setting up Sofa for the first time you'll be prompted to create a Site. At the very least you'll need to populate the hostname. If you wish to serve all content from a particular path (say, http://example.org/en), you would want to set the path to "en". You can go even deeper, e.g., en/content/to/read. The label is the name of the site; identifier will be automatically generated from this by default.

Multiple Sites

As a default Comfortable Mexican Sofa can handle several sites from a single installation. Each site has its own set of layouts, pages, files, and snippets. A site is identified by its hostname and path. For example, you can have two sites with different hostnames, like en.example.org and fr.example.org; or sites with the same hostname but different paths, like example.org/en and example.org/fr.

Localization

When creating a site you can choose one of the provided languages. This will translate all admin views and set the I18n.locale setting in the admin controller/views.

If you want to force the admin area to use a particular locale that is different from the site language, set the initializer value config.admin_locale = :en. Only the admin area will be affected; the site locale settings will still apply.

If you wish to include a locale that doesn't exist yet, take a peek in /config/locales. You can create your own and extend Sofa's initialization config; for example, config.locales.merge!(arr: 'Pirate'). Also you're welcome to contribute your translations to Sofa.
