New simplified design

[jdorn]

The entire framework will run on two main technologies: JSON Schema and Twig.

Directory Structure

• site
  • parameters.json
  • pages
  • home
    • content.schema.json
    • content.json
    • meta.json
• config
  • config.json
  • parameters.json
  • parameters.schema.json
  • meta.schema.json
• templates
  • pages
  • home.twig
• public
  • css
  • js
  • images
  • api
  • send-contact-email.php
• index.php
• lib
  • DornCMS
  • config.schema.json

    Configuration

    site parameters

The user can make a config/parameters.schema.json file that will drive an editor on the admin page for changing site-wide parameters. The editor will save to site/parameters.json.

This may contain things like:

• business name
• contact email

  meta info

The user can make a config/meta.schema.json file that will drive an editor for each page's meta data. The editors will save to site/pages/PAGE_NAME/meta.json.

The meta.json files may contain things like:

• title
• keywords
• description

  pages

Each page needs a content.schema.json file that will drive an editor for the page content. The editor will save to site/pages/PAGE_NAME/content.json.

Administration

The user can log into the back-end with the user info defined in config/config.json. There will be a default user of admin.

Here, the user can:

• edit config/config.json
• edit site/parameters.json
• edit templates
• edit page content and meta info

  Edit config.json

This will use JSON editor

lib/DornCMS/config.schema.json will drive an editor for site configuration data. The editor will save to config/config.json.

config/config.json will include:

• path aliases
• user logins
• server info?
• cache settings

  Edit parameters.json

This will use JSON editor

Edit Templates

This will be a simple file browser in the templates directory and Ace editor (or something similar) for editing the twig files.

Edit Pages

The meta.json and content.json files for each page will use JSON editor.
