Serving cms content from a separate database

You can setup ComfortableMexicanSofa so it serves content from a different database than your application. This can be accomplished via changing this setting in the initializer:

config.database_config = 'custom'

Now you need to create definition in your database.yml file for custom_development and custom_production, and other environments you may have.

Things to keep in mind:

• Note that in test environment it will use only same database as your main app for testing. That's just what Rails does.
• You'll need to edit migrations to include ComfortableMexicanSofa.establish_connection(ActiveRecord::Base) so they are run using proper database configuration.
• the line abowe is crap (for v. 1.11.2), the feature may be useful, but only for a legacy database, maitained only via cms panel, plus it will spawn a db connection for each model (see issue)
