# 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.
## 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.
