Nodizecms

A Node.js CMS written in CoffeeScript, with a user friendly backend

Status

NodizeCMS is still under heavy development, there's a ton of unimplemented features and even more bugs.

It's not ready for production yet, but you still can start to play with it and have plenty of fun !

Application stack

nodejs >0.6.x

express

zappajs

sequelize

mysql

Installation

Installation has been tested under Linux, it should work on MacOS, probably not on Windows.

MySQL, Node.js and NPM have to be installed

Make a global install of CoffeeScript

npm install -g coffee-script

Retrieve NodizeCMS

git clone git://github.com/nodize/nodizecms.git

Install dependencies

cd nodizecms

npm install

Create a MySQL database and modify the file "/themes/pageone/settings/database.json"

mysqladmin create pageone

Start the server

coffee app.coffee

When your database is empty, a default "admin" user will be created with a random password at server startup :

._   _           _ _         
| \ | |         | (_)        
|  \| | ___   __| |_ _______ 
| . ` |/ _ \ / _` | |_  / _ \
| |\  | (_) | (_| | |/ /  __/
\_| \_/\___/ \__,_|_/___\___|

listening on port 3000
SuperAdmin group created
Default user created, login = admin, password = 45A90 <----------- YOUR PASSWORD
Default lang created
Default menu created

Now you can access to the admistration module, open you browser on "http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin" (replace 127.0.0.1 by your server IP/URL if it's not running on the localhost).

If you're still there and that everything went fine, you should have a nice but empty backend.

Let's load some data : (replace "pageone" by your database name)

mysql pageone < themes/pageone/sql/pages.sql

or (if you have some access rights defined in MySQL) :

mysql pageone -u root -p < themes/pageone/sql/pages.sql

Now refresh your browser ! Do you see pages & articles ? Great !

Open a new browser window and enter this URL : "http://127.0.0.1:3000", if you're a lucky dude, you're just looking at a dynamic webpage powered by Node.js & NodizeCMS !
