Core is a flexible ajax driven CMS devolped by Simon Jakobsson and further developed by Andreas Klein.
After one year stopped development i want expand this beautiful ajax and php driven Content-Management System. Currently i work on a new deployed version of core (1.31) with an revised installer, a new feature which allows the user to install/deinstall themes. In further steps i want to implement a extension handler.
If you find issues or want to help me develop core, fork this project on git. thx andr3ws
To begin installation, copy the contents of the folder "CoreCMS" (or the whole folder itself if you'd like) to your server.
(NOTE: There has been reported errors when putting the directory named "core" in another directory named "core". Try avoid this; putting it in a directory named "Core" (capitalized first letter) works fine.)
Then navigate to www.example.com/whatever/directory/core/install/ and start the installation. Or since v1.34 you can navigate to www.example.com/whatever/directory or if you want to install Core on a TLD call just www.example.com and Core automatically runs the Installer for you.
##Upgrade to higher version of CoreCMS There exists no upgrade script from < 1.21 to 1.34 at the moment. You need to go the hard way and use the new Installer and then manually copy you Database content. Sorry for that, i work on it!
If you are upgrading from version 1.0 - 1.21, just replace everything except you user folder (core/user) and upload to your server. (You can save your theme).
I've supplied a htaccess file with this package, just put a dot infront of "htaccess" (.htaccess) and put it on your server in the same folder as the core index file and folder is and you can enable "nice permalinks" in the configuration later on.
HINT: If you're upgrading from v06 or v05 and want to keep your old Core version intact that is absolutely no problem. Just put this core folder somewhere where it doesn't replace your old one. For example, if your current website is www.example.com, your current core folder is at www.example.com/core, put the new one at something like www.example.com/new-core/core.
Changes from Core v1.21 to 1.34
Some structural/design changes to the admin panel. Brand new Installer. Added a new Field CORE(ENTRY:VISIT) for a external Link to what the entry is about (Visit site).
You can now upload themes in the admin panel. In the main menu under "Styles/Layout" is now a new field called upload. HINT: You need to upload your new theme as zipped version.
Changes from Core v1.2 to 1.21
Some structural changes to the admin panel. Fix in all themes to make sure IE users can browse the site without problems.
Changes from Core v1.1 to 1.2
You can now edit the index head by using the admin panel, so basically, other than uploading Core to your server, now interaction outside a browser is needed.
Upgraded themes blackthumb (now "darkthumbs") and simple (now "simple2) which now support Safari 4 amongst other browsers.
Added two new commands, CORE(TAG:TITLE:URL) and CORE(PAGE:TITLE:URL) which returns url friendly versions of the variables, as demonstrated by all three supplied themes.
Changing a file in the admin panel doesn't redirect you back one step, this was ineffective when working with css and scripts.
Added better security for front-end interaction with the database.
Quotes doesn't get backslashes in front of them when adding new files with code.
Changes from Core v1.0 to 1.1
Core is now not limited to the root. So if you have your core directory in: http://www.yourserver.com/core/ and you don't want it there, just move it to wherever you like. For example: www.yourserver.com/corecms/core/.
New functionality and looks of the admin panel. It's just better.
A new and better installer which also works as an upgrader for Core v06 or v05.
There's a lot more the admin panel can do and I won't bother to write a list of things, just try it! :)
