A very simple framework for building websites using Perch based on my website bootstrap. Although I use this for Perch there's no reason it can't be used for any other PHP application.
- Clone this repo.
- Go buy a perch license and copy the Perch application files to repo/perch.
- Follow the Perch installation instructions.
- Use haml and sass/less
- Semantic grid system
By default, if the file doesn't exist on the server routes.php will try to find the corresponding haml file to render.
For example, /news will render /news.haml and /products/electronics will render /products/electronics.haml.
Query strings are also supported. Given a request /news?title=Hello%20World, in /news.haml we can write .title= $_GET['title']
which outputs:
<div class="title">
<?php echo $_GET['title']; ?>
</div>
If the haml file is not found, routes.php will attempt to find a haml file matching the path before it.
For example, /news/Hello%20World when /news/Hello%20World.haml doesn't exist, it will try to render /news.haml.
If /news.haml exists, $URI_KEY is set to "Hello World". This allows us to have cleaner urls without needing to use query strings.
So in /news.haml we can write .title= $URI_KEY which outputs
<div class="title">
<?php echo $URI_KEY; ?>
</div>
The one caveat is that it only looks one level deep and does not keep searching until a haml file is found.
There is none! Do what you like - use it edit it, distribute it as your own (this excludes the parts which are not mine, e.g. Andy Clarke's ie6.css which are subject to their own licenses).
