Content Management System

[atokar]

Link to Mod

This mod will install a simple yet flexible and powerful Content Management System.

This CMS allows those with the right permission (admin_cms) to administrate the site's contents, like adding and editing pages, uploading files for use on the pages in the form of screenshots, images, documents, etc. It also allows you to enable feature where it will turn the homepage into a real homepage and add menu item for the actual forum. Also adds the ability to edit the PHP code used to display the top menu, adding new links, submenus, etc.

Your pages can consist of either BBC only (for speed reasons this is preparsed to a file, so the BBC parsing function does not need to run each page load) or raw PHP/HTML. Homepage and menu can only consist of PHP/HTML.

With PHP you can do many tricks. See this page on my game's site for an example; that page is generated by a PHP script, which grabs documentation generated by Doxygen.

You can see how the CMS looks from visitor's point of view at www.atrinik.org.

Read Before Using

The mod will only work (and is supported) on Apache with mod_rewrite.

The mod will NOT work in combination with other mods that make custom .htaccess files, like Pretty URLs, SimpleSEF, portals, etc.

Awesome mod

[SilverKnight]

Interesting, but im using Tiny Portal at the momment

[Arantor]

Yes, it won't play nicely with portals because it replaces the front page too, like the portals do. I don't see how that could possibly be changed, either.

[infyquest]

I like this one... but is it possible to customize home page, so i can point the content to special boards

[Arantor]

Yes, from CMS administration. There's an option there to edit the homepage.

[Minare]

Very smart mod.

[infyquest]

I edited the home page and i cant see the changes

[Arantor]

Assuming it's the forum in your signature, you haven't enabled the CMS homepage to replace your normal homepage.

[perplexed]

oh this is interesting *downloads*

[infyquest]

nope the forum in the signature is smf 1.1.11
this is the test forum http://alexa.jcafe24.com
the webserver is lighthttpd, any help on mod_rewrite rules for lighthttpd

[Arantor]

Well, neither I nor the mod's author use lighttpd, which is why this mod says it only supports Apache.

Maybe someone that does know about it will drop by though.

[Sudhakar Arjunan]

Really its an interesting work author.

Will use it .

[infyquest]

I have put in this for my lighthttpd config file
url.rewrite-once = ( "^page/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)" => "/index.php?action=cms;page=$1" )
it does work (need some sample scripts)

I just installed this mod on a 2.0 RC2 board and now the ajaxchat integration mod  isnt working.  Any clues what could have went wrong?

[Bogie]

Okay uninstalled it in the package manager and the chat is working again now.  Would love to have this mod but not at the expense of chat mod which is core to our forums.  Hope someone finds a fix for this as it looks amazing.  Will check back

[Arantor]

I doubt it, the chat mod breaks multiple other mods that rely on using the .htaccess file.

[KensonPlays]

the homepage won't show up, and I can't find the option for it. help?

this sounds better than ezportal, i won't need Joomla!

[atokar]

You can find the option to show the homepage in Admin Center -> Modification Settings -> Show custom homepage instead of the board index when accessing your site directly.

YAY!!! (Solved for me!)
