Snippets

What are snippets? Snippets are chunks of content that can be reused across many pages. A good example of a snippet might be a footer area that you would like the administrator to have access to make adjustments. Or maybe a sidebar section with a sponsors list.

By default, snippets are enabled when installing the latest version of spud_cms. You can turn them off by adjusting the configuration:

Spud::Cms.configure do |config|
  config.snippets_enabled = false
end

Snippets can be injected into your site multiple ways. The first way is to inject them with a helper directly into your layouts or other erb/haml views with sp_snippet('snippet_name').

The other way is to use liquid tags in your pages: {% snippet snippet_name %}

Thats all there is to it.
