Check out the starter video or read the wiki for in-depth documentation.

Why use PhileCMS?

Phile was forked from Pico when a few community members wanted to contribute more and increase the rate of development. Here is a small list of differences:

• Object Oriented Design (classes)
• Events system
• Replacable core modules (plugins)
  • Parser (default: Markdown)
  • Template Engine (default: Twig)
  • Cache (default: phpFastCache)
  • Error handler (default: Whoops)
  • Meta parser (default: Phile parser)
  • Simple Data Persistence (default: Phile file-based)
• Per-Plugin config.php files
• Namespaced plugins so classes can have the same name
• PSR-0, PSR-1/2, PSR-7/15

Quick Start

Requirements:

• PHP 7.2.0+
• a web-server

Download the release from https://philecms.github.io/, copy the files to your web-server and open the root directory in the browser.

Or use composer and run it locally:

composer create-project --no-dev phile-cms/phile;
cd Phile;
php -S localhost:8080;

On a fresh installation you will see a page with a setup instructions. Follow them. For detailed instructions please see the installation help.

Plugins

Phile can be extended with a wide variety of plugins.

Generally a plugin can always be installed manually: clone or download the plugin into plugins/{vendor}/{pluginName} folder. Example: phileRss would be installed into plugins/phile/rssFeed.

Many plugins also allow composer installation:

composer require phile/rss-feed

Always check the plugin readme for specialised installation instruction.
