Markdown CMS
============

[](#markdown-cms)

This is a plugin for Agile Toolkit, which will greatly help you to display Markdown content on your pages. To use it, add this to your Frontend.php / init():

```
$this->add('romaninsh/mdcms/Controller');

```

then create "content" folder inside your `interface` folder

```
frontend
  + page
  + lib
  + public
  + content

```

Create `content/hello.md` then open `frontend/public/hello` in your browser and you should see your markdown there displayed in real-time.

Features and Components
-----------------------

[](#features-and-components)

This plugin can be integrated in various ways. The integration above is a full integration, but you can also use individual components.

- Application Controller - Full-featured integration, one-line use.
- romaninsh/mdcms/Page - Extension to page capable of mixing regular templates with Markdown.
- `{markdown} .. {/}` - Allows you to embed markdown inside regular ATK template
- `{markdown_include}disclaimer{}` - Include markdown file. I recommend to start includes with underscore, this way they can't be accessed directly.

Mapping images and URLs
-----------------------

[](#mapping-images-and-urls)

To link to a ATK page using url() wrapper, use {page}my-page{/} inside your Markdown. This will be replaced automatically with a proper URL.

To include a link to a public image use !\[image\], the URL will be converted using locateURL('public', $url) automatically. I recommend that you place your images inside content/images and symlink it into public/images. Using [![image](images/myimage.png)](images/myimage.png) will properly work inside your text editor and on your site.

Caching
-------

[](#caching)

This add-on has a support for Models. This enables use of transparent caching and / or storing templates in a dedicated storage. For example to store templates in memcache, the following can be used:

```
$this->add('romaninsh/mdcms/Controller')
    ->setModel('romaninsh/mdcms/Model')
    ->setSource('Memcached');

```

Resource
--------

[](#resource)

The .md files are stored inside 'content' folder by default, but you can add more through adding more extensions through pathfinder. The resource type is `content`.
