Voltage

This Meteor package provides easy, editable, static pages. Perfect for your About, Terms Of Service, and Contact Us pages. voltage is not (currently) a CMS. It's an easy way for a developer to maintain static pages, as opposed to an end user.

Quick Start

meteor add hellogerard:voltage
meteor add iron:router

Add an iron-router route for your static page. The route must use the custom action and subscription:

Router.map ->
  @route 'aboutUs',
    path: '/about-us'
    waitOn: ->
      Meteor.subscribe 'voltagePages'
    action: ->
      Voltage.render @

Load the route in your browser. You should see a blank page within your site's layout. If you log in (Meteor.user() returns a user), you should see an Edit button for the page.

Repeat for any other static pages you need.

Roles

By default, any logged-in user can edit Voltage pages. To ensure that only select users can edit pages, specify an adminRole and/or adminGroup in Voltage config:

if Meteor.isServer
  Voltage.config
    adminRole: 'admin'
    adminGroup: 'qa' # optional

Then, you need to give admin users that role/group. Currently, you're on your own to add these roles somehow:

• Add these directly to admin users in the database ("roles": ["admin"]), or
• Roll your own admin page using the methods provided by meteor-roles, or
• Use an accounts admin package like accounts-admin-ui-bootstrap-3.

Example Project

There is an example project with instructions running at voltage-example.meteor.com. The example project is also on GitHub.
