CI4MS
=====

[](#ci4ms)

CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. It combines CMS workflows, developer-focused CLI commands, an extensible module system, and customizable front-end themes in a single package.

[![Release](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4f82455da3ae70b5a308e8aa1ff772564a160cba520cea7aa3c7c7f517e5b356/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f6769746875622f762f72656c656173652f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d733f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765266c6162656c3d72656c65617365)](https://github.com/ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms/releases)[![License](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ba5840611ee46bde5d50ae39ce6d1f2e265d67be579932a76ac5361321d12360/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f6769746875622f6c6963656e73652f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d733f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765)](https://github.com/ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms/blob/main/LICENSE)[![Build](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/58e2d3a8fca62c41799915a3e19e4a14d30c10537f72b398dd1b48589b22158f/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f6769746875622f616374696f6e732f776f726b666c6f772f7374617475732f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d732f646f636b65722d746573742e796d6c3f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765266c6162656c3d6275696c64)](https://github.com/ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms/actions)[![PHP](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6423e3d6ad24ee5528fba1abe0ea6df504f09f40bbb1bcef22356f90596489d4/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f5048502d253345253344382e322d3737374242343f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765266c6f676f3d706870266c6f676f436f6c6f723d7768697465)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6423e3d6ad24ee5528fba1abe0ea6df504f09f40bbb1bcef22356f90596489d4/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f5048502d253345253344382e322d3737374242343f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765266c6f676f3d706870266c6f676f436f6c6f723d7768697465)[![CodeIgniter](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/63b6f3887283ef8c09808762ee6a1905cf8ffcd307ec30b8c196d9690f5d5306/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f436f646549676e697465722d342e782d4546343232333f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765266c6f676f3d636f646569676e69746572266c6f676f436f6c6f723d7768697465)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/63b6f3887283ef8c09808762ee6a1905cf8ffcd307ec30b8c196d9690f5d5306/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f436f646549676e697465722d342e782d4546343232333f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765266c6f676f3d636f646569676e69746572266c6f676f436f6c6f723d7768697465)[![Packagist Downloads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/af0d1464aeef5ec070528e59521d1e8f4f33eaa47c8be2628b312bbce3acc6d5/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f64742f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d733f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/af0d1464aeef5ec070528e59521d1e8f4f33eaa47c8be2628b312bbce3acc6d5/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f64742f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d733f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765)[![Stars](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/feea06ef01b90fba33affd6a81afe9a822c4e4c958d448b1849fd4d17015177f/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f6769746875622f73746172732f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d733f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765)](https://github.com/ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms/stargazers)[![Forks](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ea923cc3264575db8524f86d804572d1da92b71bf684761d2b85b0d6dd88bf63/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f6769746875622f666f726b732f6369342d636d732d6572702f6369346d733f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765)](https://github.com/ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms/network/members)

Key Features
------------

[](#key-features)

- **Authentication &amp; RBAC:** `Modules\Auth` handles user login, lockouts, and password resets via CodeIgniter Shield. Permissions map to `auth_permissions_pages` records.
- **Modular backend:** Each feature ships as an independent module (Blog, Pages, Menu, Media, Users, Settings, Theme, etc.) under `modules/*`.
- **Flexible content management:** Page and blog entries include SEO metadata, categories, tags, and full comment workflows.
- **Media &amp; files:** Includes elFinder-powered media management, a built-in file editor, and an in-panel log viewer.
- **Automatic Updates:** Modernized `UpdateService` provides a "One-Click Update" system with atomic file operations, automated GitHub version discovery (bypassing 300-file limits), and secure rollback management.
- **Signed Updates (fail-closed):** Every file an update writes must appear in a `manifest.json` carrying a detached **Ed25519** signature from a key your installation already trusts, with a per-file SHA-256 check on top. A compromise of the GitHub account, the release, or the CDN is not enough to push code — the publisher's **offline** private key is required. There is no "continue anyway" option, downgrades through the updater are refused, and the shipped keyring is **empty on purpose**, so auto-update stays off until you add a key you have verified. See [Release Signing &amp; Trusted Keys](#release-signing--trusted-keys).
- **Security Architecture:** Global CSRF protection across all AJAX endpoints, strict HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), executable file upload blacklists, and HTMLPurifier sanitization to prevent XSS and RCE attacks.
- **Backup Support:** Updates automatically trigger a full backup of modified files before applying patches, with a dedicated management interface for restores.
- **Theme system:** The `public/templates/*` structure and the `Modules\Theme` module enable installing or upgrading themes from ZIP packages.
- **Setup &amp; automation:** Offers a web-based installer (`/install`) plus a single CLI command (`php spark ci4ms:setup`) for automated installation, default data seeding, and route generation. Module scaffolding is available via `php spark make:module`.
- **Docker support:** Ships with a production-ready `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, and a GitHub Actions CI workflow out of the box.
- **SEO helpers:** `ci4seopro` builds meta tags and JSON-LD, while `CommonLibrary` centralizes email, breadcrumbs, and inline shortcode utilities.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP **8.2** or newer (`intl`, `json`, `mbstring`, `gd`, `curl`, `openssl` extensions required)
- Composer 2.5+
- MySQL / MariaDB (or any CodeIgniter 4-supported driver)
- Writable directories: `writable/`, `public/uploads/`, optionally `public/templates/`
- *Optional:* Redis + `ext-redis` (phpredis) — only for realtime notifications, which are off by default. The extension must be built for **the PHP version that serves the site**; on a multi-version setup `pecl install redis` easily targets the wrong one, and the feature then degrades silently to 60 s polling. See the [Notifications module README](modules/Notifications/README.md#realtime-notifications-redis-backed-sse).

See `composer.json` for the full dependency list (e.g. `bertugfahriozer/ci4commonmodel`, `bertugfahriozer/sql2migration`, `ci4-cms-erp/ext_module_generator`, `claviska/simpleimage`, `gregwar/captcha`, `studio-42/elfinder`).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Fresh Project (recommended)

[](#fresh-project-recommended)

```
composer create-project ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms myproject
cd myproject
```

### Clone Existing Repository

[](#clone-existing-repository)

```
git clone  ci4ms
cd ci4ms
composer install
```

### Docker (recommended for development &amp; CI)

[](#docker-recommended-for-development--ci)

```
cp env .env           # configure database, baseURL, etc.
cp app/Config/DefaultRoutes.php app/Config/Routes.php
docker compose up -d --build
docker exec ci4ms_app composer install
docker exec ci4ms_app php spark ci4ms:setup
```

Refer to `DOCKER_SETUP.md` for full Docker configuration details.

### Environment &amp; Configuration

[](#environment--configuration)

1. Create your `.env` from the template:

```
cp env .env
```

2. Update these core settings in `.env`:

    - `app.baseURL`
    - `database.default.*`
    - Optional: `cookie.*`, `honeypot.*`, `security.*`
3. Prepare the routes file:

```
cp app/Config/DefaultRoutes.php app/Config/Routes.php
```

4. If you prefer the web installer, open `/install` in the browser and follow the wizard. Use the CLI step below to skip the wizard.

### One-Command Setup (CLI)

[](#one-command-setup-cli)

```
php spark ci4ms:setup
```

This single command runs all migrations, seeds default data (modules, permissions, sample content), and creates the initial administrator account. No separate migrate or seed commands are needed.

### Run the Dev Server

[](#run-the-dev-server)

```
php spark serve
```

Access the backend via: `https:///backend`

Developer Notes
---------------

[](#developer-notes)

- **Cache keys**: `settings` (24h), `menus_{locale}` (per-locale, 24h), `{userId}_permissions`. Clear with `php spark cache:clear` or `cache()->delete()`.
- **Base controller**: Extend `Modules\Backend\Controllers\BaseController` for new backend controllers; it prepares session user, navigation, mail settings, and shared data.
- **Permissions**: Register new secured routes in `Modules\Methods` (or via the database) so the permission filter recognizes them.
- **Slug generation**: `seflink()` handles transliteration (including Turkish characters).
- **Form security**: Global CSRF is enabled; backend AJAX endpoints opt out via `BackendConfig::$csrfExcept`.
- **Comment moderation**: `CommonLibrary::commentBadwordFiltering` handles bad word filtering and moderation rules.
- **Theme uploads**: Each theme must include `info.xml` and `screenshot.png`; missing files trigger a backend warning.

Testing &amp; Maintenance
-------------------------

[](#testing--maintenance)

- `composer test` — runs PHPUnit.
- The GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/docker-test.yaml`) automatically builds the Docker image and runs migrations on every push to `master`.
- **Maintenance mode**: When `settings.maintenanceMode.scalar == 1`, the `Ci4ms` filter redirects visitors to `maintenance-mode`.
- **Security**: `Fileeditor` enforces `realpath` guards and a dangerous extension blacklist (`.php`, `.phtml`, `.phar`, `.htaccess`) to prevent RCE; destructive operations (`deleteFileOrFolder`, `renameFile`) additionally validate against an extension allowlist to block renaming or deleting critical application files. `Backup` restore uses SQL statement whitelist to block malicious queries (`LOAD_FILE`, `GRANT`, etc.). `HTMLPurifier` config is hardened against XSS bypass (`data:` URIs blocked, `CSS.Trusted` disabled) and `CustomRules::getClean()` output is persisted on every `create` and `update` flow in Blog and Pages controllers to prevent Stored XSS. All `$_SERVER` reads replaced with CI4 `base_url()`/`site_url()` helpers. Configure `App.php::$proxyIPs` if behind Cloudflare/Nginx.

Release Signing &amp; Trusted Keys
----------------------------------

[](#release-signing--trusted-keys)

The auto-updater verifies a detached **Ed25519** signature over the release manifest before it writes a single file, and then checks every downloaded file against its SHA-256 entry in that manifest. Because the trust decision is made against a key list stored **inside your installation**, an attacker who takes over the GitHub account, the release, or the CDN still cannot push code to you.

**Auto-update is off until you configure trust.** The repository ships with an empty keyring (`Modules\Settings\Config\UpdateKeys::$keys = []`), which is deliberate: a key shipped in the same repository it is supposed to protect proves nothing. Until you add a public key, the updater refuses every update and reports `Settings.updateNoTrustedKeys`.

### Published signing key fingerprints

[](#published-signing-key-fingerprints)

Before adding a key to your keyring, confirm its `key_id` and full hex SHA-256 fingerprint against the table below **and** against at least one channel that is not this repository (release announcement, project website, maintainer's own key publication). If the two do not match, do not add the key and open a security report.

`key_id`SHA-256 fingerprint (hex)StatusAdded*not yet published**not yet published*——> **Publisher:** replace the placeholder row with the real `key_id` and fingerprint printed by `php spark ci4ms:release:keygen`. Publish the **full** hex fingerprint, never a truncated one, and add a new row (rather than editing the old one) when rotating — during a rotation window both keys are listed, the old one moving to `revoked` once the transition is complete. A `revoked` key causes the **entire** manifest to be rejected, even if a valid active signature is present alongside it.

### Checking what your own installation trusts

[](#checking-what-your-own-installation-trusts)

The backend **Settings** page lists the release signing keys your installation currently trusts, with each entry's `key_id`, fingerprint, and status (`active` / `revoked`). Compare that list against the published fingerprints above; anything present there that is not published here did not come from the publisher. The keyring itself is a plain PHP config file — `modules/Settings/Config/UpdateKeys.php` — so it can also be reviewed directly and kept under your own change control.

Private keys are never held by the application, never committed, and never present in CI: signing happens offline via `php spark ci4ms:release:keygen` / `ci4ms:release:manifest` against a password-sealed keyfile stored outside `ROOTPATH` and `public/`. Anyone can independently verify a published release with `php spark ci4ms:release:verify --remote --tag v`. The full pipeline, gates, and release ritual are documented in [`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md#auto-update--release-signing).

Third-Party Data Attribution
----------------------------

- **Session geo lookup** (optional, disabled by default) uses the free **DB-IP City Lite** database. If you enable it (Settings → Session Location Tracking, or the installer checkbox) and run `php spark ci4ms:geoip-update`, you must comply with the database license: **IP Geolocation by [DB-IP](https://db-ip.com)**, distributed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Keep this attribution visible in your deployment. No IP data leaves your server — lookups are performed locally against the downloaded database.

🐞 Bug Reporters
---------------

[](#-bug-reporters)

Thanks to the community members who report functional bugs and help us catch regressions before they hit more users.

ContributorContributionDate**[spreaderman](https://github.com/spreaderman)**Reported two installation-blocking regressions in v0.31.10.0: the web installer returning `404 GET install/dbsetup` after the configuration step, and `php spark ci4ms:setup` aborting on the `users.profileIMG` migration due to a `TEXT` column with a default value (rejected by MySQL/MariaDB strict mode).May 2026**[SIENSIS](https://github.com/SIENSIS)**Reported the fresh-install web installer failing silently because `.env` is written mid-request: migrations ran against an empty database name and the encrypter raised a "needs a starter key" error.Jul 2026**[SIENSIS](https://github.com/SIENSIS)**Reported that every login crashed with a 500 when a DNS-level blocker (e.g. Pi-hole) or an outage made the `ip-api.com` geo lookup unreachable — a failed fetch returned `false` and `json_decode(false)` raised an uncaught `TypeError` under `strict_types`. This led to replacing the third-party call with a local, opt-in geo lookup.Jul 2026> Found a non-security bug? Please [open an issue](https://github.com/ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms/issues) with reproduction steps.
