Attogram Framework

[CHANGELOG] [TODO]

The Attogram Framework provides developers a PHP skeleton starter site with a content module system, file-based URL routing, IP-protected backend, Markdown parser, jQuery and Bootstrap.

Core modules available to add a SQLite database with web admin, user system, and more.

After that, Attogram tries to stay out of your way while you do your thing!

Attogram Modules

• Easily create modules to extend Attogram!
• Each module lives in its own subdirectory within the Attogram ./modules/ directory.

Module Structure

• Modules may have the following subdirectories:

  • actions/ - The Public Actions (.php or .md markdown files) If present, the home action is used as the home page.
  • admin_actions/ - The backend admin-only Actions (.php or .md markdown files)
  • configs/- Configurations via namespace Attogram; global $config; $config['configname'] = ..., loaded at startup (.php files only)
  • includes/ - Included files, loaded at startup (.php files only)
  • tables/ - Database table definitions. Tables are created lazily as needed (.sql files only)
  • templates/ - Templates, to override default Attogram templates (.php files only)
  • public/ - Files for public consumption. Served via requests to the web/ virtual web directory

• Modules are loaded in directory list order.

  • Actions and files cascade: a duplicate action name or file will overwrite any previous modules action or file of the same name.
