Rophako

A simplistic content management system designed for kirsle.net.

Rophako is Azulian for "website." Pronounce it however you like. I pronounce it "roe-fa-koe."

This project is under heavy construction.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

These may need to be installed for the dependencies to build:

Fedora: libffi-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel

Server Configuration

Instructions and tips are currently available for the Apache web server. See Apache.md for information.

Copy the file config-sample.py as a file named config.py, and edit its contents to set up your site. It's very important that you change the SECRET_KEY variable, as this is used to sign the session cookies and prevent people from tampering with them. The config script is well-documented with comments explaining what all the options do.

Create the Admin User

Once the web app is up and running, navigate to the /account/setup URL to create the admin user account. Once the admin account has been created, the /account/setup path can't be used anymore. Additional user accounts can be created by the admin users at the /admin URL.

Building Your Site

Rophako has a dual templating system. When the Rophako CMS wants to render a template (for example, blog/entry.html), it will look inside your SITE_ROOT path first for that template, before falling back to the default site templates inside the rophako/www path.

All of the core features of Rophako (user account, blog, photo albums, comments, etc.) exist in the default site, so the CMS is already fully functional out-of-the-box. You can override files in the default site by putting files with the same name in your SITE_ROOT folder. For example, the default SITE_ROOT is set to the "site/www" folder in the git repo, and if you put a file at site/www/layout.html there, it will change the web design template for the Rophako site. A file at site/www/index.html will change the index page of your site away from the default.
