Making a CMS

Juul · #1 (**permalink**) 06-21-2008, 09:31 AM

Hi,

I'll make a CMS in PHP and I thought it could be saving me a lot of work to make it in ZF.

I don't really now how I should start on this as I never worked with ZF and I don't really understand how it's working. (I don't know every term (like for example a view helper and so one...) but I started making a directory structure and I don't know if this is the best structure for my CMS.

My CMS must have this features:
- Modular system
- Multiple themes (with different view files so the layout can be changed totally and not only with an other css file for example)

This is what I have now for the structure:

Code:

./application
        ./layouts
        ./modules
                ./module
                        ./controllers
                        ./models
                        ./views
./library
        ./Zend
./public
        ./images
        ./scripts
        ./styles
        ./index.php

Is this scruture good and does someone have any suggestions for me so I can make it better?

And this is my bootstrap:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
// Show every error
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);  
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Add the zend library to the include path
set_include_path('../library' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());  
 
// Auto load every class we need
require_once "Zend/Loader.php";
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();

// Load config
require_once 'config.php';
$config = new Zend_Config($config);
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);

// Set up layout
$layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc(array(
    'layout'         => 'default',
    'layoutPath'     => '../application/layouts',
    'contentKey'     => 'content',
));

// DB connection
try {
    $db = new Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql($config->database->params->toArray());
    $db->getConnection();
    Zend_Registry::set('dbConnection', $db);
} catch (Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception $e) {
    echo 'Unexpected error!';
    exit;
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
    echo 'Unexpected error!';
    exit;
}

// Error controller
$errorHandler = new Zend_Controller_Plugin_ErrorHandler();
$errorHandler->setErrorHandler(array('controller' => 'Error', 'action' => 'Error', 'module' => 'cms'));

// Set up front controller class
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->throwExceptions(true);
$frontController->addModuleDirectory('../application/modules');
$frontController->setDefaultModule('index');
$frontController->registerPlugin( $errorHandler , 100 );
$frontController->setParam('noErrorHandler', true);
$frontController->dispatch();

// Quit page
$db->closeConnection();

Is this a good bootstrap?

Howdy,

I m making a similar thingy, here s the bootstrap used currently :

PHP Code:


			
<?php

/**

 *  blabla ...

 * @name Bootstrap

 * @package minisite

 * @author fabrice

 * @version v1.0

 *

 */



set_include_path (

    '.' . PATH_SEPARATOR . 

    '../library' . PATH_SEPARATOR . 

    '../../../../library' . PATH_SEPARATOR . 

    '../application/default/models/' . PATH_SEPARATOR .

    get_include_path () );



require_once 'Zend/Controller/Front.php';

Zend_Loader::registerAutoload (); // pour ne pas ecrire xx lignes de loadClass()



date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');



/*

 * données connexion BDD, layout, etc.

 */

$config = new Zend_Config_Ini ( '../application/default/config/config.ini', 'general' );



$registry = Zend_Registry::getInstance ();

$registry->set ( 'config', $config );



/*

 * mise en place bdd

 */

try {

    $db = Zend_Db::factory ( $config->db );

    Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter ( $db );

} catch ( Exception $e ) {

    exit ( $e->getMessage () );

}

Zend_Registry::set ( 'dbAdapter', $db ); // accessible partout



/*

 * Gestion des acces ressources

 */



$acl = new My_ACL ( ); //../library/My/ACL.php c'est automagique

Zend_Registry::set ( 'acl', $acl ); // accessible partout



/*

 * L'authentification 

 */

// durée de session

$storage = new Zend_Auth_Storage_Session ( );

$sessionNamespace = new Zend_Session_Namespace ( $storage->getNamespace () );

$sessionNamespace->setExpirationSeconds ( 600 ); // 10 min

// la session

$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance ();

$auth->setStorage ( $storage );

Zend_Registry::set ( 'auth', $auth );

// la gestion est definie dans le plugin My_PluginAuth



/**

 * Setup controller

 */

$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance ();

$controller->setControllerDirectory ( '../application/default/controllers' );

$controller->throwExceptions ( TRUE ); // should be turned on in development time 



/*

 *  la gestion auth+acl est assurée par ../library/My/PluginAuth.php

 */

$controller->registerPlugin ( new My_PluginAuth ( $auth, $acl ) );





/**

 * Router pour les chemins

 */

$router = new Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite();

$router->addConfig( new Zend_Config_Ini('../application/default/config/routes.ini', null) );

$controller->setRouter($router);



/*

 * Layout à la MVC

 * application/default/layouts/layout.phtml est la presentation de toutes les pages

 * chaque vue est insérée ensuite a l'interieur

 */

Zend_Layout::startMvc ( $config->layout );



// run!

try {

    $controller->dispatch ();

} catch ( Exception $e ) {

    echo nl2br ( $e->__toString () );

}
