Columnis Express

Introduction

Columnis Express is the new version of Columnis CMS. It is a simple ZF2 application that consumes Columnis API, assigns the data to the selected template engine and renders the request page.

Installation

• To run columnis-express on your computer you must have doker installed and running.

• Clone repository and run docker

$ git clone https://github.com/solcre/columnis-express.git
$ cd columnis-express
$ docker-compose up -d

If the console gives you the following, we are on the right track don't worry about the warning

• Rename local.php.dist to local.php

$ cd config/autoload
$ mv local.php.dist local.php

• Inside local.php change the client-number

• Inside the docker terminal

php composer.phar install

• Open localhost:8080 in your browser and if you get something like this (img), everything is ok

• Inside public_html paste all your project dir (templates, assets, css, etc) like this:

  Note: for all this to work the .htacces, 404.html, index.php and php.ini files must be inside public_html and must never be modified, deleted or anything like that.

• Right now you can go back to localhost:8080 and you should see your web site 🥳🍾
