Re: Lightweight Perl CMS

Hello everyone. I'm the author of Galileo.

Yeah its not as lightweight as I would like in terms of module-install footprint. Then again, nearly all of that is DBIx::Class. While I do see plenty of room for improvement for Galileo, I doubt it will be lightening the DBIx::Class requirement. Not only does it allow me to write it without any direct SQL, it now (as of 0.012) can do database agnostic in-place schema upgrades! This is something I could never write alone.

Galileo is really optimized for ease of install and use. No need to setup/configure LAMP etc. My primary goal was the "we need a website for this thing NOW" kind of moment. And as to writing in pure HTML, that's fine too, but this is written for users who are not capable of that. Install Galileo for an internal site edited by your secretary or your boss :-P

For truly light-weight (runtime and module sense), you might consider Contenticious which stores markdown in files rather than in a database.

Cheers!

Hi jberger! How do i build a navigation like this using Galileo: `karl \|-- foo \|-- bar \| \|-- nose \| '-- cuke '-- stuff '-- monks` [download] Update: This was really a serious question: "Install Galileo for an internal site edited by your secretary or your boss :-" Boss as well secretary don't know HTML and don't RTFM ;-) But the Galileo interface doesn't explain how to build such a navigation... Thank you and best regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry I took so long to reply. I don't often come to perlmonks. As to the issue at hand, the reason that it isn't mentioned is that it isn't supported. In this way the pages are essentially like they are in a wiki; that is to say on one logical level. I can imagine adding such a facility for the navigation. Unfortunately, it would involve reworking the interals to allow nested paths and I don't think thats on the docket for some time (if ever).	[reply]

"...the reason that it isn't mentioned is that it isn't supported." That's a pity. Thanks and regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]
