I am creating a rails web app that is a really a content management system. Thus there is going to be a admin section of the app. There I want users to be able to set config setting that are available through the app. Thus I want basic CRUD functionality for config settings. (If you've ever used the admin section of the Discourse discussion board, you'll know what I want to do)
Most of the config gems I have seem to be about organizing config info during development, but seem to expect that config info to be basically set and static on production. (See How to define custom configuration variables in rails)
However, in the above link there was one gem called rails-settings (https://github.com/Squeegy/rails-settings) that, in its description, seemed very close to what I want. However, it seems very old (last commit was 2009).
Three related questions:
1) Is there is a standard Gem for this kind of thing that I'm missing?
2) Should I use rails-settings?
3) Should I just create my own model called Settings < ActiveRecord and would this model be available throughout all my controllers?
