Rootpress is a Wordpress Skeleton helper to start building wordpress custom site using an MVC-like pattern.
We are in beta version without proper documentation for the moment. If you want to use this on production site, please fully understand what this involve.
When you build new full custom wordpress site you generally start with an empty new custom theme which hereby from a parent theme. The architecture inside this new custom theme is up to you, which is fine, but as always, it can lead you to produce not easyly evolutive and maintenable code. To avoid this behaviour, most framework have there own architecture which consist to follow rules like the MVC pattern.
Rootpress help you to start with a good architecture for your wordpress project by generating you a proper architecture for mvc pattern-like and adding some wordpress filters and hooks which allow you to use:
- Models
- Repositories
- Controllers
- Views
- Hooks
You can install Rootpress as any Wordpress plugin. More documentation will come when will be out of beta for this part...
