# Behaviors are used in CMS to add features to a model.
# They are very similar to the various "acts_as_*" or "*_fu" plugins/gems
# that have been created for Rails.
#
# Generally, each behavior has three modules in it. They are:
# * MacroMethods
# * ClassMethods
# * InstanceMethods
#
# When the CMS starts up, all of the Behaviors are included into ActiveRecord::Base.
# The MacroMethods module of each Behavior is also included into ActiveRecord::Base.
# The MacroMethods module contains Class methods that you can call within your model
# in order to enable that Behavior for that Class. For example, if you want to have
# an Article module that is taggable, you would do this:
#
# class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
# is_taggable
# end
#
# So in this case, you are calling the `is_taggable` macro method, which enables the
# taggable behavior for the Article model. It enables the behavior by extending the
# ClassMethods module and including the InstanceMethods module into the Article class.
# Each Behavior typically has one macro method which takes an options Hash, which of course
# varies from Behavior to Behavior. The macro method will also sometimes call other
# macro methods, like before_fitler, scope, etc. to modify the model.
# Consult the documentation for each module for specific details as to what
# the Behavior does.
module Cms::Behaviors; end
