Pantheon

This is a content management system built in PHP using MySQL database that can be used to create websites similar to WordPress, Drupal or Joomla. Pantheon is a framework that I have designed from scratch that can help users create, manage, and modify content on a premade website without the need for specialized technical knowledge.

I have also designed and developed a well thought out, user friendly interface for Pantheon which comes in 4 different themes that the user can switch while using the website.

Features of Pantheon

Supports two types of users : Admin & Member.
Admins have the ability to:
1. Add, Update, View and Delete categories on Pantheon.
2. Add, Update, View and Delete posts on Pantheon.
3. Moderate comments by member users on all posts.
Members have the ability to:
1. Create, Update, View and Delete their own posts on the website.
2. Members can leave comments on all posts that are published on Pantheon after moderation from Admin roles.
Posts on Pantheon are accessible by all the visitors and members of the website.
All posts can be categorised usings tags that can only be added by the Admins that is further used for Internal Search.
Pantheon has internal search that has been setup so that users can search the whole array of posts on the website through their post titles or tags.
Visitors can browse through all the posts or make comments without an account but to create their own posts, they must have an account on Pantheon.
Only Users of Pantheon have the access to view the overall statistics of Pantheon which includes total amount of posts, users, comments and categories on the website.
All visitors/users can browse Pantheon in four different themes.

How to download and run this framework locally

Required Software: XAMPP v7.4.27

Download and unzip the ZIP file in the dist folder: Pantheon.zip
Dowload the SQL dump file in the dist folder: pantheon.sql
Import the SQL dump file using phpMyAdmin to locally create the sample schema and tables associated with Pantheon.
Copy the extracted Pantheon folder into htdocs folder which can be found inside the installed XAMPP folder directory.
After the above steps are done, you can run index.php from Pantheon folder to open Pantheon's current version.
Default credentials for the connection to MySQL database are:
- host : localhost
- user : root
- pass : (to be set by the user)
- db_name : pantheon
Incase your database/phpMyAdmin uses a different host, username and password to connect, follow these steps:
1. Go to root folder in the parent directory.
2. Open db.php in the root folder.
3. Simply change the values of the above mentioned fields. (line 2-5)
```
    <?php
    $db['db_host'] = "localhost";
    $db['db_user'] = "root";
    $db['db_pass'] = "";
    $db['db_name'] = "pantheon";

    foreach($db as $key => $value) {
    define(strtoupper($key), $value);
    }

    $connection = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
    //if ($connection) {
    //    echo "Pantheon is online.";
    //}
    ?>
```
Once these credentials match, your index.php would run normally.
