# Ty Clifford's Content Management System
|
|
|
|
Ty Clifford's Content Management System is a small PHP blog CMS with a Bludit-style content layout:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
bl-content/pages/<slug>/index.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Posts and static pages are Markdown `.txt` files with front matter. Comments are stored in SQLite, site configuration and generated indexes are JSON, and visit stats are CSV for easy Excel import.
|
|
|
|
Post and page bodies are treated as trusted author content. Markdown is rendered while allowing raw HTML, iframes, JavaScript, and executable PHP blocks inside the `.txt` files.
|
|
|
|
Shortcodes are declared in `config/shortcodes.php` as a PHP array, with optional JSON overrides in `config/shortcodes.json`. Built-in examples:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
[youtube=dQw4w9WgXcQ]
|
|
[video poster=poster.jpg file=file.mp4]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`[video]` renders an iframe pointed at `lone-embed.php`, which serves a full-frame HTML5 video player. Bare filenames resolve from `bl-content/uploads`.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- PHP 8.1 or newer
|
|
- PDO SQLite enabled
|
|
- Apache with `mod_rewrite` for `.htaccess` pretty URLs, or the PHP built-in server for local testing
|
|
|
|
## Local Server
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 router.php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php cli/blog.php help
|
|
php cli/blog.php list --all
|
|
php cli/blog.php create "New Post" --status=published --category=Notes --tags=php,markdown
|
|
php cli/blog.php update hello-neon --title="Hello Neon"
|
|
php cli/blog.php delete old-slug
|
|
php cli/blog.php rebuild
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Comments
|
|
|
|
Comments are moderated by default and protected by captcha plus a honeypot field.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php cli/blog.php comments:list --status=pending
|
|
php cli/blog.php comments:approve 1
|
|
php cli/blog.php comments:spam 2
|
|
php cli/blog.php comments:delete 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Import Bludit
|
|
|
|
Import from a local directory on the server. The source can be the old Bludit root or the old `bl-content` folder.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php cli/import-bludit.php /var/www/old-bludit --dry-run
|
|
php cli/import-bludit.php /var/www/old-bludit
|
|
php cli/import-bludit.php /var/www/old-bludit/bl-content
|
|
php cli/import-bludit.php --source=/var/www/old-bludit --overwrite
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The importer preserves original publish dates, modified dates, post/static-page type, draft/published state, categories, tags, authors, cover image metadata, allow-comments flags, page order, page-local files, and `bl-content/uploads`.
|
|
|
|
It also scans local comment export files under the old `bl-content/databases` and `bl-content/workspaces` directories. To point it at a specific local comment export:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php cli/import-bludit.php /var/www/old-bludit --comments=/var/www/old-bludit/comments.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Stats
|
|
|
|
Visits are appended to `storage/stats/visits.csv` with a header row suitable for spreadsheet import.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php cli/blog.php stats:summary
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Apache
|
|
|
|
The included `.htaccess` enables pretty URLs and blocks direct access to app code, configuration, SQLite, CSV, JSON databases, and Markdown content files.
|
|
|
|
For a subdirectory install such as `https://example.com/blog`, either place the app in that folder and let the CMS auto-detect the path, or set:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"base_url": "https://example.com/blog",
|
|
"base_path": "/blog"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`base_path` controls generated links, assets, forms, RSS, and sitemap paths.
