wrek

wrek is a super simple file-based content management system.

Setup

git clone git@github.com:lytedev/wrek-cms.git projectname

Change the content and host it at the root of the newly created folder. For locally hosting during development, I recommend the following command:

cd projectname
php -S localhost:8000

Then open your browser so localhost:8000.

Configuration

Generally, the lib folder contains stuff you shouldn't need to touch unless you need something really odd done. Most of your site's configuration can happen in the content folder.

Site-wide settings are found in content/settings.txt.

Don't forget to change all the apple-touch-icon images and the favicon!

You might flip through the other files in the project root, as most of them come from a very old version of the HTML5 Boilerplate

Themes

Themes are a smart way of keeping the structure and layout of your content separate from your actual content. Themes are stored in content/themes.

Themes are made up of at least an index.php file, but you're encouraged to include at least (as needed) the following files:

• index.php
• header.php
• footer.php
• page.php
• post.php
• smallpost.php (the post as it appears on the blog page)

Content

There are various ways of managing content and the plain-text formats in wrek. There's a handy little text document that does a decent job of explaining them. You can find that document here.
