The CMS system can very conveniently realize the content management and data display of the website, which is very important for enterprises and individual creators.

HamletCMS is a CMS system based on the PHP framework, which allows developers to implement CMS development more conveniently. This article will introduce how to implement CMS development in the HamletCMS framework.

1. Install the HamletCMS framework

First, we need to install the HamletCMS framework locally or on the server. You can download the compressed package through the official website, and then extract it to the local or server specified directory. Then, you can use the terminal to access the directory and execute the following command to install the dependencies and automatic class loader:

composer install

Note: The prerequisite is that Composer has been installed.

2. Create CMS themes and plug-ins

In HamletCMS, the theme is responsible for rendering and displaying website data, and plug-ins are used to implement some CMS system functions. Creating themes and plug-ins is very simple. We only need to create a new directory under the /app/themes/ or /app/plugins/ directory, and then write some files.

For example, we create a new directory in the /app/themes/ directory, named "mytheme", which contains the following files:

• /mytheme /index.php: This file is responsible for rendering and displaying page content.
• /mytheme/style.css: This file is used to define the page style.
• /mytheme/functions.php: This file can contain some reusable functions and configurations of the CMS system.

In addition, we also need to write code based on HamletCMS to implement some functions, and these codes will be implemented in the plug-in. For example, we can create a plug-in to implement comment functionality. Creating a plug-in is similar to creating a theme. You only need to create a new directory under the /app/plugins/ directory and write some files. The following is a simple plug-in example:

Copy after login

In the /control/controller.php file of the plug-in, we can define some different methods to implement different functions of the CMS system.

3. Use HamletCMS functions

The HamletCMS framework provides many functions that can help us realize CMS development more conveniently. For example:

• Commonly used functions: HamletCMS contains many reusable functions, such as functions to obtain article information, functions to obtain comment information, functions to obtain category lists, etc.
• Database processing: HamletCMS uses the PDO driver for database interaction, which can help us operate the database more conveniently.

Through these functions, we can achieve CMS development more easily.
