DO NOT USE THIS PROJECT

We move moved to a composer based system over here https://github.com/cloudmanic/cloudmanic-cms

We keep this project arround because we have a few legancy systems we are still maintaining.

Goals of the project.

As developers we hate stuffing a site into a content management system. It is not natural to us. We are always altering our libraries just to work with different systems. We are learning the different functions that require a CMS to work. We are dealing with the custom routing rules of the particular CMS. Cloudmanic CMS lets you develop the way you want to develop. Cloudmanic CMS gives you a robust admin panel on top of your code base.

Cloudmanic CMS has a number of goals.....

The CMS can be an afterthought. Build your site then add the CMS.
Default storage of assets in 3rd party services like Amazon s3 and Rackspace Cloudfiles (as well as local storage).
Asset manipulation. Upload and Crop your images on the fly.
Scale. A traditional CMS does not easily scale. Scale your apps anyway you want and Cloudmanic CMS will come along for the ride.
Easy, fast, simple. Cloudmanic CMS does not do it all. But the things we do we do very well.
No complex database tables. Build your own tables then connect the CMS. Never again will you have to dig into a cryptic database schema to understand how your data is really being stored.

Requirements

Codeigniter 2.1.x
php5.3+
gd
imagemagick
https://github.com/cloudmanic/wideimage-ci

Installing

Set CMS version constant in constants.php - define('CMSVERSON', '0.7.0');
Make sure you have a working database in database.php
Follow the "setting up config.php" instructions below.
Follow the "setting up javascript" instructions below.
Follow the "setting up auto loader" instructions below.
Config ../application/sparks/cloudmanic-cms/CMS-VERSION-GOES-HERE/config/sigcms.php
Create a link from your document root (called "cms") to the asset folder in the sparks dir. (ln -s ../application/sparks/cloudmanic-cms/0.8.0/assets/ cms)
Make sure you have mod rewrite removing your index.php. $config['index_page'] should be blank. ($config['index_page'] = '';)
Add define('CMSVERSON', '0.9.0'); to config/constants.php

Setting up the javascript

Link it back to the assets folder.

ln -s ../application/sparks/cloudmanic-cms/CMS-VERSION-GOES-HERE/assets/ cms

Setting Up The Auto Loader

/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Native Auto-load
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| Nothing to do with cnfig/autoload.php, this allows PHP autoload to work
| for base controllers and some third-party libraries.
|
*/
function __autoload($class)
{
	if((strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0) && (strpos($class, 'MY_') !== 0))
	{
		switch($class)
		{			
			case 'CMS_Controller':		
				include_once(SPARKPATH . 'cloudmanic-cms/' . CMSVERSON . '/libraries/'. $class . EXT);
			break;
			
			default:
				@include_once(APPPATH . 'core/'. $class . EXT);	
			break;
		}
	}
}

Setting up the control panel.

Create a controller name "cp.php".

<?php if(! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Cp extends CMS_Controller { }

/* End File */

Info on Buckets.

A column with the keyword 'Format' is reserved for formatting textareas and will be ignored in the add / edit.

Setting up relations.

$d[] = array('table' => 'BlogCategories', 'type' => 'checked', 'name' => 'Categories'); $d[] = array('table' => 'BlogLabels', 'type' => 'tags', 'name' => 'Labels'); echo json_encode($d);

Custom labels

$q['BlogAuthorId'] = 'Author'; echo json_encode($q);

Setting up custom fields

We currently support.

system-textarea-style: adds a format switch at the bottom of a text area.

We install these fields by adding a key / value match with json in the BucketsFields column

{"GalleryImage":{"type":"cms-image-crop","target-width":"120","target-height":"","target-aspect":"1.3"}}

Modifying the default listview screen.

DB Col = BucketsListview

{ 
	"joins": [
		{ "table": "Categories", "left": "PhotographyCategory", "right": "CategoriesId", "type": "left" }
	],
	"columns": { "PhotographyTitle": "Name", "CategoriesTitle": "Category", "PhotographyForSale": "For Sale", "PhotographyStatus": "Status", "CreateDateFormat1": "Created" }
}
