No databases.
No hassles.
No shit.
That’s genius!
No. That’s Kensei.
Kensei is a file-based content management system written in PHP using the Zend framework. It was extracted by isieo and kaliwanagan from their work in Indigo, used by Mindvalley LC, an Internet Marketing company specializing in the personal development genre.
- No database: Kensei does not need a database to run; it only needs a web server and PHP. Without any extra database server to maintain, deployment is quick and hassle-free. A deployment at its simplest can consist of simply copying over the entire program tree.
- Model-View-Controller architecture: Kensei was designed to be easily maintanable, and this attribute was very influential in how Kensei was structured. A web page’s layout resides in partials that content writers need not worry about.
- Extensibility: Additional functionality can easily be added by content writers in the form of tags (which are able to use their own partials as well). For example, a video player that gracefully degrades from HTML5 to Flash to a static image can easily be embedded in a page just by inserting the media_player tag.
