Nova CMS

Warning!

This repo has been updated to fall in line with the current stable release of Nova 3.75.16 (at the time of writing this) As a result parts of the code base will be different from the videos. If in doubt please ask in the chat room gitter.im/nova-framework/framework/novausers

Nova CMS is built on top of Nova Framework, as an example of building a complex application. This is the end result from our video course https://novaframework.com/screencasts/building-a-cms/getting-started

Requirements

The framework requirements are limited.

PHP 5.6 or greater.
Apache Web Server or equivalent with mod rewrite support.
IIS with URL Rewrite module installed - http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

The following PHP extensions should be enabled:

Fileinfo (edit php.ini and uncomment php_fileinfo.dll or use php selector within cpanel if available.)
OpenSSL
INTL

Installation

This framework was designed and is strongly recommended to be installed above the document root directory, with it pointing to the public folder.

Additionally, installing in a sub-directory, on a production server, will introduce severe security issues. If there is no choice still place the framework files above the document root and have only index.php and .htacess from the public folder in the sub folder and adjust the paths accordingly.

Upload the files above the document root and point your web root to the public folder.
Edit app/Config/Database.php and set your database credentials.
Edit app/Config/App.php and update your settings as desired.
Import scripts/cms.sql into your database.

At this point the CMS should be up and running to login to the admin go to /admin with the sample user account:

username: admin password: admin
