A Node.js CMS written in CoffeeScript, with a user friendly backend

NodizeCMS is still under heavy development, there's a ton of unimplemented features and even more bugs.

It's not ready for production yet, but you still can start to play with it and have plenty of fun !

nodejs >0.6.x

express

zappajs

sequelize

mysql

redis (optional)

Installation has been tested under Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Git, MySQL, Node.js and NPM have to be installed

Make a global install of CoffeeScript

npm install -g coffee-script 

Retrieve NodizeCMS

git clone git://github.com/nodize/nodizecms.git 

Install dependencies

cd nodizecms npm install 

Create a MySQL database and modify the file "/themes/pageone/settings/database.json"

mysqladmin create pageone 

Start the server

coffee app.coffee 

When your database is empty, a default "admin" user will be created with a random password at server startup :

._ _ _ _ | \ | | | (_) | \| | ___ __| |_ _______ | . ` |/ _ \ / _` | |_ / _ \ | |\ | (_) | (_| | |/ / __/ \_| \_/\___/ \__,_|_/___\___| listening on port 3000 SuperAdmin group created Default user created, login = admin, password = 45A90 <----------- YOUR PASSWORD Default lang created Default menu created 

Now you can access to the admistration module, open you browser on "http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin" (replace 127.0.0.1 by your server IP/URL if it's not running on the localhost).

If you're still there and that everything went fine, you should have a nice but empty backend.

Let's load some data : (replace "pageone" by your database name)

mysql pageone < themes/pageone/sql/pages.sql 

or (if you have some access rights defined in MySQL) :

mysql pageone -u root -p < themes/pageone/sql/pages.sql 

Now refresh your browser ! Do you see pages & articles ? Great !

Open a new browser window and enter this URL : "http://127.0.0.1:3000", if you are lucky, you're just looking at a dynamic webpage powered by Node.js & NodizeCMS !
