			<description><![CDATA[<p>Scenario</p><p>An application has already been written, tried and tested without a CMS, I want to add a CMS to the application.(refinery if possible although can be anything else if it would be easier).</p><p>I have done the application using rails 3.1.1 and I have used mongodb for the database which has made life difficult as all the CMS&#039;s such as refinery and radiant require SQL database.</p><p>Ideally I want to leave the application logic alone and just override the views with a CMS.</p><p>The application logic is all handled in the models with the controllers just acting as handlers.</p><p>What options are available to me to add a CMS.</p><p>Some ideas I have had are.</p><p>- place the built application as an Engine of my refineryCMS application and override the views with refinery CMS</p><p>- roll my own quick and nasty CMS that stores editable html in a SQL database and call this in my views to be displayed.</p><p>- Re-write the application with a CMS in mind (not my favourite as this will take a lot of time.)</p><br /><p>Any thoughts and ideas much appreciated.</p>]]></description>
