TC-C-CMS

Welcome to TC-C-CMS (Teleco's Crappy Content Management System)! This project consists mostly of some loose and very basic code that helps you manage content for your websites and make them (to some degree) usable!

Project "Structure"

(i included this because this is what "professionals" are supposed to do ... i am not a professional however)

Contains the admin welcome panel, backup database function, and links to edit the database (very very very fragile). Please, if you dare use this in production, make many database backups becaus I wrote this entire thing from the ground up myself.

It also contains a file manager that can back up the entire website folder along with the database, as well as upload and manage files (also written by me, poorly).

admin/: Contains the admin panel for managing the CMS.
tools/: Includes various tools described above.
index.php: The main entry point for the admin panel.
backup_databases.php: Makes database backups and stuff.

Common rendering utilities

Contains common things needed to render websites with beautiful PHP. Mmm yes, I love PHP ❤️❤️❤️. JS bad!

common/: Shared resources and functions used across different websites.
functions.php: Common functions and variables used throughout the CMS.
navbar.php: Functions for rendering the standard PURE HTML NO JS navbar.
navbarjs.php: Functions for rendering the JavaScript kinda required navbar.

Getting Started

Cool, I don’t care. What can it do and how do I use it?

You can make basic goofy ahh sites and dynamically change things from the admin panel. This includes creating pages and posts, adding navbar/sidebar entries, and uploading files. It's like... wow, so super premium (irony).

TL;DR

It’s so simple to run that I could do it in my sleep, blindfolded, and without any sense of touch. There are 4 basic website templates in this repo, based on actual sites I run (or plan to run soon with this tool).

What do you need to get started?

Install SQLite and PHP on whatever potato PC you have lying around.
How you install PHP on your potato machine? IDK. (Add description for Mac, Debian, and Linux but omit Windows because we hate Windows. If someone opens an issue asking how to run this on Windows, I will not answer it.)

Unlike normal CMSs that go brrrrrr with a million Composer dependencies, this one doesn't. Honestly, you could even run this without a web server if you run two PHP dev servers and set folder permissions so that the user-exposed PHP dev server can’t access admin parts (but the admin one can). I do not endorse or recommend this, it’s just a "yeah, you can do this" kind of thing.

Run it in 2 steps

Run: php -S localhost:8000 in the root directory.
Open in your browser: http://localhost:8000/website4/public/

And voilà! You have a pretty website! 🎉

Editing Content

If you want to edit its content:

Go to http://localhost:8000/admin/
Click edit database to mess with it (and pray).

⚠ Warning: Don’t be shocked when you see literally no CSS after the initial admin panel. This is a design choice I made because f bloat and JS*.

I could explain how to do things in the admin panel, but it should be self-explanatory if you look at the database examples.

There are two main layouts: - Navbar only → Website 2 (pure HTML, no JS at all) and Website 4 (some JS, ewww). - Sidebars only → Website 1 and Website 3.
