Intro
=====

[](#intro)

Pageflow is an initiative to offer a simple, modular and multi-language web content management system. Pageflow is open-source, and therefore free. The idea behind a web content management system is to facilitate the creation of a website with as little technical or programming knowledge as possible. Creation of a website using Pageflow will involve the following activities:

- Programming Smarty Templates according to the Pageflow API's and configuring them in the Pageflow WebUI.
- Authoring articles, pages, images, etc. in the Pageflow WebUI. Templates will be linked to these presentable elements and will be rendered as HTML.

Getting started
===============

[](#getting-started)

Pageflow is written in PHP and runs on top of a Mysql Database. A hosting platform therefore requires at least a PHP runtime and a Mysql database.

When you look at the source of Pageflow, it has 2 sections:

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Make a new website
------------------

[](#make-a-new-website)

A new website that is based on Pageflow starts with the creation of a new PHP packagist application. Make Pageflow a dependency. It will be installed to the `vendor` section.

Upload Pageflow
---------------

[](#upload-pageflow)

Upload your `vendor` folder to the private webspace of your webhosting. This includes Pageflow sources.

Initialize the frontend and prepare the Pageflow WebUI
------------------------------------------------------

[](#initialize-the-frontend-and-prepare-the-pageflow-webui)

In the public section (e.g. `httpd.www`) of your webspace, you will need to create one file to render the frontend and the Pageflow WebUI:

`index.php`

```
namespace reisvirus\reisvirus;

define("PUBLIC_ROOT", __DIR__);
define("PRIVATE_ROOT", PUBLIC_ROOT . "/");
define("PAGEFLOW_ROOT", PRIVATE_ROOT . "/vendor/pageflow/pageflow/src");

require_once PAGEFLOW_ROOT . "/bootstrap.php";

```

Fill in `` as required.

Make a request from the browser to the root of your webspace, e.g. . This will initialize a .htaccess file so that all routing works properly.

Frontend Templates
------------------

[](#frontend-templates)

You can now start adding frontend templates to `/templates`
