The file sample-website.tar.xz provides a basic but full website example. -Alternatively, here are some details about sview usage. -
- -In the following, I assume your website is located under http\[s\]://domain/topic/ -and is named "website" (adapt to your case). For example, in https://github.com/blog/ -domain = github.com and topic = blog. -
- -Get the source code either with `git clone` command or using a zip archive. -Copy all folder contents in the website/ folder : -
-website/ - a/ - f/ - site/ - .htaccess - common.php - defaults.php - index.php - s.php-
Now (online), in the .htaccess file, change the line `RewriteBase /` to `RewriteBase /topic`. -
- -Each variable name is prepended with "b_" to avoid potential conflicts with your own variables. -
- -You can also change the \
The welcome page. You can choose a title ($s_title) or use the default one -(by not specifying anything). Style sheets and javascripts can be customized, ...etc. -Any default variable can be used to define a specific variable (prepended with "s_"). -
- -Customize it; it is probably viewed more often than you think ;-) -
- -All pages are under site/ folder, and you can nest them in any directory tree. -
- -Hint : if you don't want to load the main template, just end any site file
-with a PHP exit directive.
-
Now we will see how to access pages and resources (images, CSS, files, javascript). -
- -The page at physical location site/some_folder/mypage.php is viewed in the web browser at the URL -http\[s\]://domain/topic/website/some_folder/mypage (thanks to URL rewriting defined in -the .htaccess file). -
- -Any page can be linked internally using the r() PHP function ('r' for "resource"), like in
-the following : '. This function determines
-the nesting level and output the appropriate path.
-
A CSS style sheet : its path is given by the following PHP function call
-r('a/css/name_of_the_file.css') from within any site file (assuming you place all CSS files
-under a/css/. They may be inside a nested folder structure).
-
An image : same as above, with r('a/img/name_of_the_image.xxx').
-
A javascript file : same as above, with r('a/js/name_of_the_file.js').
-
Just use a regular link pointing to r('dl/?f=name_of_the_file.xxx'), anywhere you want.
-
Just add pages under site/ folder, and potential resources and files under a/ and f/. -All other files will not change a lot. +
