sview : tiny PHP web framework

- -

- It is inspired by a similar framework written by Arnór Heiðar Sigurðsson. - In the same spirit but more advanced and more complete, see also nanoc - in Ruby. -

- -

- sview is designed to organize essentially static websites. - It does not offer the features you would expect from a complete MVC framework - - actually, it has only the "V" part. - If you want a more demanding dynamic website, consider using an appropriate tool, - Symfony for example. -

- -

How to use it ?

- -

- The archive sample-website.tar.xz provides a basic but full website example. - Complementarily, the file HOWTO.html - gives some details about sview usage. -

Installation + +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 + +* __a/__ (for "assets") is the folder for CSS files, images and javascript codes. + I like to put them respectively in css/, img/ and js/ folders, but the choice is yours. +* __f/__ (for "files") is the folder for any downloadable (or browsable) file you may upload. +* __site/__ is the main folder containing all your website pages. Three are already there : + * _404.php_ : the 404 error page; + * _dl.php_ : a script to download binary files; + * _home.php_ : the specifications for the welcome page. +* __.htaccess__ : its main job consists in routing everything that is not a resource to the index.php file. +* __common.php__ contains shared variables and functions to be used by at least two different pages. +* __defaults.php__ defines default variables for any web page, like the title or javascripts block. +* __index.php__ contains your website template, which is rendered for any web page + (and filled with specific values defined in pages under site/ folder; anything can be customized). +* __s.php__ consists in the framework code, loaded at the beginning of index.php. + +Now (online), in the .htaccess file, change the line `RewriteBase /` to `RewriteBase /topic`. + +## 1.
