[Release] FlareCMS

[LidoDEE]

Isn't FlareCMS's original thread this?:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f427/release-flarecms-v14-odin-and-vana-421919/

I've been working on the new FlareCMS that I had planned to do after I had discontinued the old FlareCMS project.

If you read it.

It Says :Enter the site directory if one exists. If you put the files in the root path, then just leave this blank. Example: If I put my files in "C:\wamp\www\flare\", I need to type in "flare/". Remember to reverse the slash. If you put it in "C:\wamp\www\" then you need to leave this blank. Thanks for the help

Go to and put everything in C:\wamp\www\ there isn't a point of a folder AFTER \www\ because then you'd rather type in your IP only right? Not 11.111.11.111/flare. It'd be much easier. But if you want to leave it, then yeah put C:\wamp\www\flare\.

ok just to be clear. im putting all my files in C:\wamp\www\ if so im going to do it now,

Navigation configuration error is fixed. (LidoDee's problem)
This is a new version of FlareCMS, it's entirely different than the old one.

@LidoDEE - To increase the box of the login/vote in the default template, change the width of the box with the welcome msg / user msg and increase the login/vote one.

New template! TechJunkie:

By Style-Shout.
Install it by executing the sql in sql/templates/template_techjunkie.sql.
This will probably be my last template from Style-Shout, couldn't really find any other good ones from there.

If anyone has a template which they would want to be converted I'll try to do it. (Must be able to distribute it legally)

Good~

@DimensionMS - Just try using SVN, it's not to hard to understand how to use. Look for some tutorials from google or here.

@Josho - The purpose of these new templates is for people to see how my templating system works. I haven't explained how it worked so it might be confusing.

In the future I'll add more examples of the template system and probably a guide on how to make your own template.

I know how it works, you download a template at freecsstemplates.net.

Then you'd have to make it compatible with the CMS as I've shown with the previous examples. Downloading it would only download it on your computer, it doesn't magically change and work with the CMS.

PS. It's style-shout

It's still not cool to use premade templates.

Oh and I saw the blue pigment one on freecsstemplates.net

I'm currently making a template for another server (actually 2) and I didn't want to work on 3 or more at the same time so I just took from templates if people didn't like the default one. IMO the default one I made isn't very good.

LOL its not that hard to add functions to a template you got off the internet. the real thrill is making your own.

its lame how you are just taking free layouts and saying FlareCMS. add your own functions and template than defend your self....

The only function I basically copied was the status check (fsockopen), everything else is coded by me or from people helping the old flarecms.

To add a template to the source, you need to create new template files to match the template for example:

If the template uses this as navigation:

<li><a href="link">link</a></li>

You need to create another file to define that and the CMS will read off of that. If it doesn't exist it will read off the default template which is just "<a href="link">link</a>". This will also work with pages, create a 'pages' folder and it will read that certain page instead of the one in the base folder. I have included an example of this in the default template.

In the 'classes' folder, some of the classes that has a show() function usually requires some template files:
entries
comments
navigation
rules
staff list
etc.

I've also created constants available to use such as:
SITE_TITLE
SERVER_NAME
SERVER_EXP
TOTAL_ACCOUNTS
etc.

Basically all of the settings that are found in the `cms_settings` table.

These are very helpful because it makes the site dynamic.

I'll write a better tutorial soon, this is just a short one, then I won't have to use these free templates because they obviously aren't helping anyone.

Default layout is made by me, Cpanel layout is made by me, the others are free templates.

Use SVN to download the files. Look for tutorials on how to download using a tool such as TortoiseSVN. When I have some more time and some more updates, I'll upload the files so they'll be downloadable but now just use SVN, sorry.

 

[LidoDEE]

I can always do that for yah.
