README

Build Blogs, Websites and Web Apps with an CMS made in top of CodeIgniter 3.x

This project was born from the need to create a fast and easy website without using solutions like Wordpress or Joomla, which due to the amount of code and third party plugins increases the complexity of any changes.

The objective of this project is to assist developers who want to have code control in a simple and practical way.

Wpanel was developed on the Codeigniter 3 framework, so it is important to have some basic knowledge of its operation. See the Codeigniter 3 documentation here.

Features

1. Responsive administrator thanks to AdminLTE.
2. Account management with ACL granting access by URI.
3. Posts - can be News or just a Blog on your website.
4. Pages - manage your site's fixed pages, such as the 'About' page.
5. Banners - Manage the slide banner of the home page.
6. Galleries - Manage the photo galleries on the site.
7. Youtube videos.
8. Menu management.
9. Newsletters - Collect leads on your website.
10. Account management.

1. Functional webserver

Quick start

The easiest way to have Wpanel CMS ready to start developing your project is through Composer, with the SQLite database and using the built-in PHP server. To do this, follow the steps below.

• Run the composer command to create your project:

composer create-project "wpanel/wpanel4-cms" Blog

• Access the Blog folder created in the previous step and run the start script:

cd Blog
composer run dev

• Run the installation of Wpanel with accessing http://localhost:8080/index.php/setup
• Fill the form with the ROOT administrator data
• Access the admin area using the data provided in the previous step
• Done! Wpanel is already running at http://localhost:8080
