Business App Template
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is an empty (but fully functional) PHP application. It is designed to
|
|
integrate with AccountHub, an account management web interface. AccountHub manages
|
|
user credentials and account data, and is accessed by this app via [a simple API](http://docs.netsyms.com/docs/AccountHub/API%20Documentation/).

Program Structure
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
### Folders
|
|
* langs
|
|
Translations and alert messages.
|
|
The language files that are loaded depends on the value of `LANGUAGE` in `settings.php`.
|
|
All .json files in a language folder are parsed and loaded into the dictionary (use via `$Strings->get('some key')`).
|
|
* lib
|
|
A good place to put helper functions that you don't want "in the way". All files that end with `.lib.php` are automatically loaded.
|
|
* pages
|
|
What it looks like. If you go into `pages.php` and define a page with the name `foo`, there should be a `foo.php` in here.
|
|
The app checks before loading, so it will give a friendly 404 error if it doesn't find your page.
|
|
Woe to you if you delete `home.php` or `404.php`, as those are assumed to exist for fallback behavior.
|
|
* static
|
|
CSS, JS, fonts, images...
|
|
* vendor
|
|
If you don't know what this is about, or you don't have it, you need to read up on Composer. Right now.
|
|
|
|
### Files
|
|
* settings.template.php
|
|
App configuration. Copy to `settings.php` and customize. Documented with inline comments.
|
|
* app.php
|
|
Handles the web part of the app. If you have problems with too many items on the navbar, change `$navbar_breakpoint`.
|
|
To change the navbar colors, find and edit `<nav class="navbar ...`, changing `navbar-dark bg-blue` to suit.
|
|
* static/img/logo.svg
|
|
The app logo. Should be a square, we don't test any other sizes.
|
|
* required.php
|
|
The "duct tape" that holds the app together. Use `require_once __DIR__."/required.php"` at the top of every file.
|
|
It loads Composer dependencies, library files, app settings, language data, and creates `$database` for accessing the database.
|
|
It also has some utility functions, including `dieifnotloggedin()`.
|
|
Read through it to see exactly what it does.
|
|
* action.php
|
|
A good place to put form handling code. By default it only handles logging out, but is easily expanded.
|
|
* api.php
|
|
Similar to action.php, but designed for user/pass authenticated JSON responses.
|
|
* index.php
|
|
Login page and handler. Hands off to `app.php` after authenticating user.
|
|
It includes 2fa support, by the way.
|
|
* app.php
|
|
Main app page after login. Handles loading app pages and 404 errors.
|
|
Redirects to `index.php` if the user is not logged in.
|
|
Note: to show an alert message (success, error, whatever), set the GET argument `msg` to a message ID from `lang/messages.php`.
|
|
* pages.php
|
|
Define app pages/screens in an array. The page ID/array key is assumed to exist as a file `pages/{key}.php`, or it will 404.
|
|
__Optional parameters:__
|
|
`'navbar' => true` will show the page as a button in the app menu bar.
|
|
`'icon' => '...'` will show an icon from FontAwesome in the menu bar. Setting this to `home` will show the icon `fa-home`.
|
|
`'styles' => ["file.css"]` will inject the listed CSS files into the page header (after all other CSS, like Bootstrap).
|
|
`'scripts' => ["file.js"]` will inject the listed JavaScript files into the page footer (after jQuery and other builtin scripts).
|
|
* langs/messages.php
|
|
Array of alert messages.
|
|
`"string"` is the language string for the message, `"type"` is one of `success`, `info`, `warning`, or `danger` (i.e. Bootstrap alert classes).
|
|
Changing the type changes the icon and color of the alert box.
|

Setup Tips
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Run composer install (or composer.phar install) to install dependency libraries
|
|
* If you don't have any color in the navbar, run `git submodule init` and `git submodule update`. |
