My personal website.

stupidCMS is a flat file stupid CMS with nice templating and caching engines.

Install

• Drop all files (including .htaccess) at the site root
• Create the file ./config.php and override default config (cf Overridable Configuration)

Stupid Pages (SP)

• Stupid Pages files extensions is .html
• In Stupid Pages, paths are relative to the site root
• To link from a page to another page, use http://site.com/other-page
• They use the Stupid Micro Templating Engine (SMTE) allowing administrable content declaration

Stupid Micro Templating Engine (SMTE)

• Administrable contents : {{CNT:content-name}}
• Administrable files : <img src="{{FILE:file-name.jpg}}"/> or <a href="{{FILE:file-name.pdf}}">the file</a>
• Include another page in a page : {{INC:page-name-without-html-extension}}
• Definitions : {{DEF:CONSTANT_NAME}} (for example SITE_URL)
• If : {{IF:php expression}}content{{EIF}}

Studid Dynamic Page (SDP)

• Stupid Pages files extensions can be .php
• In this case the page is a Stupid Dynamic Page (SDP)
• Custom php scripting can be addded
• <?php global $stupid;?> must be called to make the stupid engine available
• Sutpid API available :
  • $stupid->__inc("page-name-without-html-extension")
  • $stupid->__cnt("content-name")
  • $stupid->__file("file-name")
• No CSPC cache is applied (it is applied only for included contents)

Compiled Stupid Pages Caching (CSPC)

• Compiled Stupid Pages are cached for performance optimization
• The cache engine is selectable in /config.php
• Three engines are available :
  • None cache engine : no cache, all pages and contents are loaded from original files (not recommended)
  • File cache engine : cache files are located in /__cache
  • Redis cache engine : redis port is configurable in ___stupid/libs/stupidDefinitions.php
• In DEVELOPMENT_MODE, the cache is disabled

Stupid Backend (SB)

• stupidCMS comes with a stupid backend
• Open http://site.com/admin in browser
• Content editing :
  • Add contents in pages using the SMTE format
  • Run a Scan to populate the backend interface
  • Edit and save contents
  • Tips :
    • Contents are SMTE compatible, which means you can use the SMTE tags
    • Contents can be written in Markdown format :
      • Prefix your content with *** to enable Markdown
      • Markdown documentation
• Files editing :
  • Add files in pages using the SMTE format
  • Run a Scan to populate the backend interface
  • Edit and save files
• Pages editing :
  • All SP and SDP can be edited from the backend
  • Templates can be used for scaffholding (templates are defined in /__templates)
  • /config.php is editable as well
• Scan :
  • If SMTE administrable content are not visible, run Scan
  • Scan contents scans for contents and files
• Clear :
  • If new contents or files don't appear, run Clear, to clear the cache
  • In DEVELOPMENT_MODE, cache is disabled, therefore Clear is not needed
• Clean : TODO

Administration - Overview

• Pages are created from backend or manually in root folder (html or php)
• Reference administrable contents of files with {{CNT:the-content-name}} or {{FILE:the-file-name.pdf}}
• Scan contents in pages, then edit the contents in the backend
• Contents : edit contents
• Files : edit files
• Scan : scan for new contents or files referenced in pages
• Pages : add or edit pages

Administration - Contents

• Scan : scan for new files referenced in pages
• Go to Contents
• Edit the relevant content
• Edit one content at the time (the Save button (or ctrl+shift+enter) save only the current content)
• To use Markdown syntax, the first line of content must be ***

Administration - Files

• Scan : scan for new files referenced in pages
• Go to Files
• Upload the relevant file with the Replace button

Overridable configuration

• Defined in ___stupid/libs/stupidDefinitions.php
• DEBUG_MODE (true): displays hints
• DEVELOPMENT_MODE (false): no cache for easier development
• ADMIN_PASSWORD ("password"): has to be changed
• SITE_URL ("http://localhost"): has to be set to the site root url
• PAGE_404 (false): false or the name of the 404 page (without extension)
• NO_SCAN_FOLDERS (none): folders not to scan when finding contents and files
• SMTE_CACHE_ENGINE ("file"): file | redis | none
