#Phil F

Hi, I have uploaded a basic CMS Page package for Fuel. https://github.com/Phil-F/fuel-CmsPage It's just a starting point at the moment. I will wait and see if it generates any interest before expanding upon it. Feedback would be nice though. Have fun

Phil.

Lol I see you used that little config::installed bit.

Yeah thought it was cool so I stole it

Hope you don't mind? What do you think of CmsPage as a starting point? Need input. I was thinking of writing a module management package done some basic stuff:

foreach (array_keys(\File::read_dir(APPPATH . DS . 'modules', 1)) as $module)
        &#123;
            \Fuel::add_module ($module);
            \Config::load ($module . '::' . $module, $module);
            $data ['modules'] [$module] = \Config::get ($module);
        }

foreach($modules as $key => $info)
&#123;
  echo '<h2>'.ucfirst($key).'</h2>';
  echo \Html::anchor($key, ucfirst($key)).'&nbsp;-&nbsp;';
  echo \Html::anchor($key.'/admin', ucfirst($key).'&nbsp;Admin');
  echo '<p>';
  echo $info['name'];
  echo '<br />';
  echo $info['description'];
  echo '<br />';
  echo $info['author'];
  echo '<br />';
  echo $info['version'];
  echo '<br />';
  echo $info['installed'] ? 'true' : 'false';
  echo '</p>';
  echo '<hr />';
}

It uses a config file but could drive an installer etc... But thought I would wait to see if there is much interest in the CmsPage package first.

I think a CMSPage package could be so much more... But my only concern would be that a CMS package uses so much more of the framework that a package may not be the best way to approach it. Perhaps a fork and bundling in custom modules and packages to an entire installation. Sort of like PyroCMS does... I don't know, I just see a bigger idea here than what's there at present... That's not a knock on you at all...

#Phil F

No worries

No offence taken as it's not meant to be a complete CMS solution. It's just one small package to handle pages. The way I was thinking was to produce bite size chunks like CmsPage then produce something like a module manager etc... so people could simply use the bits they need. I agree that for a full blown CMS you might have to start ripping Fuel apart to allow for an implementation like PyroCms. This is more to satisfy a requirement where a full blown CMS is not needed but a simple page management is. In hind sight I should have called it something like dynamic_pages to avoid confusion.

Ah. I get it now. Perhaps a different name would help the confusion.

This has now been rename to DbPage see new thread.
