DESCRIPTION

feindura is lightweight flat file based content management system for webdesigners, written in PHP and ideal for small and medium websites. And it's just beautiful.

BACKEND

The CMS has an easy to use interface with a simple structure, which can be fast understood by the users, even with less technical understanding.

NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION

HTML/CSS and a little bit of PHP

FEATURES

for a full list see: http://feindura.org/page/features/

• no database required
• easy to use backend-interface through the use of mootools
• multi-language backend interface (currently english, german, french, italian and russian)
• website statistics
• uses CKEditor

• upload images and files
• backup system
• plugin system (adds additional functionality to pages like contact form and image gallery)
• add-on system
• HTML5 ready

FUTURE FEATURES

• modul system (like search)

REQUIREMENTS

• PHP >= 5.1 (PHP as FastCGI)
• apache with mod_rewrite modul if you want to have Pretty URLs like: "domain.com/page/welcome"

APPROPRIATE USES

It's not tested yet, but it should work well on websites with up to 100 vistiors per Minute. Your pages should not exceed more than 2000 pages, because then the flat file system becomes slow.

INSTALLATION

Just copy the feindura folder on your webserver in a folder, like e.g. "/cms/". Impelement the feindura class in your websites index.php and use the feindura class methods to get your websites content from feindura.

IMPLEMENTATION

To implement feindura in you're website copy the /cms/ folder in your website's folder and add the following lines on the beginning of your index.php, before the header is sent, which means before any HTML tag:

#PHP
<?php

include('cms/feindura.include.php');

$feindura = new Feindura();

?>

After this you can refer to the feindura class an it's methods through the $feindura->... instance.

Read http://feindura.org/page/getting-started/. For details and more methods, see the feindura class - documentation http://feindura.org/docs/[Implementation]/Feindura.html.

NOTE

Javascript Frameworks

All javascript frameworks, except Prototype, should work with the frontend editing mode. If Prototype is detected the frontend editing will be automatically blocked .

MooTools

If you want to use the MooTools framework in your website and you have activated the fronend editing mode, you should include the script at the end of your page (before the closing tag) as follow.

<script>window.MooTools || document.write(unescape('<script src="https://github.com/frozeman/feindura-flat-file-cms/raw/master//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/mootools/1.4.5/mootools-yui-compressed.js"><\/script>'))</script>
