shell website including login and feedback system

1. Put all the files in your web root for the site you are creating.
2. Rename the sample files and directory and edit them

The custom_content directory is where you put your stuff

Open file custom_content/globals.php and find definition of CUSTOM_PAGES_ARRAY. Add an array for you new page. Slug is the value important for link target.

Open custom_content/functions/page.php and add conditions in function custom_page_display appropriately.

Links work the following way:

SiTE_URL/$_GET['p']/$_GET['s']/$_GET['id']/$_GET['param1']/$_GET['param2']/$_GET['param3']

You can also refer to .htaccess where you will find the following rule:

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&s=$2&id=$3&param1=$4&param2=$5&param3=$6 [QSA,L]

How you use these members of GET really is up to you, but the reason I named them like that is because I usually have a page, subpage and an id. Like for instance https://shell.viddewebb.se/feedback/single/1 where page ($_GET['p']) is feedback, subpage ($_GET['s']) is single and id ($_GET['id']) is 1. It just looks a little bit clearer in the code than if I just named them 1,2,3 or something. :)

Add the following to your location / block in nginx config file for the site to get it to work the same as .htaccess does in apache!

You can have as many languages on your website as you like. I only set up for swedish and english.

Config file contains a setting DEFAULT_LANGUAGE which defines what language is shown before user makes any changes NOTE: language setting needs to reside in config file, globals can contain translations and must be included after language setup.

The instructions below assumes you are a bit familiar with editing in POEditor

In root, outside of custom_content:

Generate pot-file that can be merged with po-file to generate mo-file (2 commands):

xgettext --from-code=UTF-8 -o texts-sv.pot *.php														*/
find . -iname "*.php" | xargs xgettext --from-code=UTF-8 -k_e -k_x -k__ -o custom_content/translations/default.pot

Download .po and .pot, update from POT file, upload .po

Then to merge from shell translations, do (1 command):

msgcat sample-translations/sv_SE/LC_MESSAGES/sv_SE.po custom_content/translations/sv_SE/LC_MESSAGES/sv_SE.po -o custom_content/translations/sv_SE/LC_MESSAGES/sv_SE.po --use-first

rewrite ^/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?p=$1 last; rewrite ^/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?p=$1&s=$2 last; rewrite ^/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?p=$1&s=$2&id=$3 last; rewrite ^/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?p=$1&s=$2&id=$3&param1=$4 last; rewrite ^/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?p=$1&s=$2&id=$3&param1=$4&param2=$5 last; rewrite ^/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?p=$1&s=$2&id=$3&param1=$4&param2=$5&param3=$6 last;
