kure is a PHP blogging engine that runs on a simple file database.
One text file represents one blog post;
- the filename is the post title (with a couple of exceptions),
- the file contents is the post itself, and
- the file's "last modified" timestamp is the post date.
kure comes with a small, removable admin plugin to manage posts, but for all I care you can keelhaul and manage them with git, vim, ftp, your own scripts, your little sister, or any combination thereof. Just make sure she's a good typist.
To use kure, just git clone it somewhere web-accessible, and start putting
*.txt files into the entries directory. kure should pick them up
immediately. To use spaces in a post's title, just use a standard hyphen (-)
in the filename instead.
- Small, portable, light
- Templates + plugins
- Uses CSS3
- Lets you make your entries folder a git repo and feel super cool about it
- Doesn't work in Internet Explorer
kure's meant to be like a LEGO Star Wars ship. It's got a hull, and everything
else is detachable. It sports a templating engine, a plugin engine, and basic
localization. Strip everything away, and it's cat plus chips.
kure is built to be a simple, portable, easy-to-understand engine. If you want something you can hack into shape yourself, or if you're new to programming and looking to mess with something, kure might tickle some fancies. It's also pretty fast to set up because it doesn't mess with any databases, so there's that.
Wrote a plugin? Fork the plugins branch, throw it in there, and pull request
me. Got a template? Fork templates and do the same.
And if you know another language, fork master, make a language definition
(e.g. languages/en.ini), and pull request me.
