Papaya CMS Project Skeleton

This is a project skeleton for your own papayaCMS projects. It allows to use Composer for project initialization.

It includes a build file for Phing. It uses the composer and git commands so make sure they can be called.

composer create-project papaya/cms-project projectname

If you like to use the latest development versions use:

composer create-project papaya/cms-project projectname -s dev

Using Phive

You can use Phive to install tools for papaya. Tools will be installed into the subdirectory tools/.

cd projectname
phive install
composer install
tools/phing

Manually

Make sure that you can call phing and run it.

cd projectname
composer install
phing

Local Development Server

By default the skeleton is configured to use a SQLite 3 database and can work with the PHP built-in webserver.

Define Build Properties

Copy the file dist.build.properties to build.properties and modify it. At the moment it includes to options for database connections. One for the development and one for the deployment.

Initialize Git repository (optional)

The skeleton is optimized to be used with Git. Now would be a good point to initialize the repository.

git init
git add *
git commit -m"new project" 

Start the Webserver

You can use build scripts to start the webserver for your papaya CMS project on port 8080.

phing run

This will install the dependecies (composer install), update the revision file and start the PHP built-in webserver.

Open the browser at http://localhost:8080/papaya to continue the setup.

Update Project Dependencies

Install the dependencies as defined by the repository (composer.lock):

phing dependencies-install

Update the dependencies (composer.json):

phing dependencies-update

Because papaya CMS uses composer you can call composer install to install the dependencies defined by the repository or composer update to update them. However this will not update the revision file (Used to display project and papaya core version in administration interface).

Cloning An Existing Project

After you clone an existing project you will have to call composer install directly.

The main build file is provided by the papaya CMS core. If you clone an existing project repository the dependencies are not available so neither are the build tasks. Initially the dependencies were installed by composer create-project. So you will have to install them directly once (or if you delete the vendor directory.

Modules

Adding additional module packages:

composer require papaya/module-domains

Modules inside the project

Project specific modules can be put into the src/ directory.

Themes and Templates

Themes and templates can be composer packages, too.

composer require papaya/theme-dynamic

Theme package will have a dependency to the template package. You do not need to require them manually. (But you can.)

Templates inside the project

Templates are installed into the templates subdirectory. You can add a new directory to your project and develop/maintain the template there.

Themes inside the project

Theme are installed into the htdocs/papaya-themes subdirectory. You can add a new directory to your project and develop/maintain the theme there.

Export the project for deployment

The build.properties (after copied from dist.build.properties) contains a property dist.database.uri that will be used for the configuration file in exports.

Additionally the exports will make use of Git tags. If the current commit is tagged this tag will be used for the file/directory name.

phing export
