Page CMS Overview

Web Page CMS

Purpose:
To easily add pages to a website, this is primarily for pages that are topic or article-based. Once the project is advanced enough, some templates may include photo galleries or more intricate modules within the pages themselves.

What it Does:

1. Adds Pages
2. Modifies Pages
3. Deletes Pages
4. Retrieves Pages
   

Frameworks or Modules built by Third Parties:
These modules are used in this project.

1. Kohana - PHP Framework using the MVC pattern
   http://kohanaphp.com/
   
   
2. Moxiecode's TinyMCE - JavaScript Rich Text Editor
   
   
3. Moxiecode's Image Manager - Image manager to upload images and place them in the rich text editor, allowing the administrator to place the image how they like.
   
   
4. jQuery (JavaScript library)
   

Files required for the project:
Note: Some files are part of the modules being implemented as 3rd party tools, so those won't be explained in depth, such as all the utility JavaScript files associated with the rich text editor (tinyMCE).

• Kohana PHP Framework
  
  • app_name (usually app_website_name like app_lvgloves)
    
    • controllers
      
      • admin.php (might be better to be pages.php later)
        This file has functions for managing the pages. The functions this file contains isn't for displaying the pages as would be viewed on the public portion of the website.
        
        
      • public.php - (might be sitename.php) This is normally the primary controller for the public view of the website.
        
        
    • models
      
      • pages.php
      • pages_sections.php
      • pages_links.php
        
        
    • public
