Why use PhileCMS?

The desire to fork the project from Pico, came when a few community members wanted to contribute more and increase the rate of development progress.

Here is a small list of differences in design from typical flat-file CMSs:

• OOP based (classes)
• Events system
• Uses Composer
• Overload core modules (plugins)
  • Parser (default: Markdown)
  • Template Engine (default: Twig)
  • Cache (default: phpFastCache)
  • Error handler (default: system handler)
  • Meta parser (default: system parser)
  • Simple Data Persistence (default: system data storage)
• Per-Plugin config.php files
• Namespaced plugins so classes can have the same name
• PSR-0 Compliant

Installation

Requirements

• PHP >=5.6.0
• Apache with mod_rewrite enabled

Quick Start

You can install the latest version either by downloading it from https://github.com/PhileCMS/Phile/releases or use composer:

composer create-project --no-dev phile-cms/phile

Copy it to your server web root. Open the root of PhileCMS on you web server. If you are using the default MAMP install, that would be http://localhost:8888/Phile. Using WAMP, http://localhost/Phile. If you are using something else, you probably know how to run a typical PHP site.

On first run you will hit a setup page. Follow the instructions on the setup page to complete the installation.

For detailed instructions please see the Installation wiki page.

Plugins

Phile can be extended with a wide variety of plugins. You can also overwrite the default plugins in order to add extra functionality, speed, or features.
