B3
==

[](#b3)

B3 (BlaBlaBlog) is a PHP blog system built upon the [Lumen](http://lumen.laravel.com) micro-framework.

The package is available on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/eivindarvesen/b3)

### WORK IN PROGRESS

[](#work-in-progress)

This project is very much under active development, and while it is usable in its current state, the documentation is yet to be written. In fact - this readme is not even necessarily up to date.

At present, B3 supports all major browser, including IE >= 9.

About
-----

[](#about)

Blog posts are written in Markdown in your favourite editor, and pushed via git. Posts are validated upon git-commit. A database of data/metadata is built or updated on git-pull. Pages are rendered serverside. Blablablog is themeable; the default theme is built upon Bootstrap 3. You set your usersettings in dotenv (do not track this in vcs).

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

[](#installation)

To install B3, run

```
composer create-project eivindarvesen/b3  *@dev --prefer-dist
```

or run `installB3.sh` in the scripts-directory.

The webroot must be set to 'b3/public'

BlaBlaBlog also needs a database, the connection to which is specified in the dotenv-file in the project root.

To automatically set up your site, run the `setupB3.sh` script in the scripts-directory.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

To set up your developer-environment:

```
composer install

npm install
```
