Themes are located on the /theme folder and the main template file is the ìndex.html HTML file.
Variables are placed using the double curly bracket syntax {{ $variable_name }} i.e: in order to print the page title you'll put the folliwing code in the html template: {{ $_CMS['page']['title'] }}
All the elements that you can use when theming your website using Weasel CMS data are encapsulated in an array called $_CMS, this array has got the following variables within it.
$_CMS['site'] :
['site_language'] ISO 639-1 Language Code, usually the two letter identifier like: EN, ES, FR ...['site_title'] : Returns the current weather in Beijing, China ... nah, it's actually the Site Title.['site_description'] : mainly for seo purposes['site_keywords'] : Same as above.['path] : base directory ( dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) )['url] : url where the website resides ( HTTP_HOST + path )$_CMS['pages'] : Variable containing all the data of every page in case you want to loop over it. Each page contains the following properties described below on the $_PAGE variable.
$_CMS['page'] :
['title'] The page title['description'] Short description of the page['content'] This is stored as Markdown but it returns the parsed HTML code of the pages content['tags'] Comma separated tag values['datetime'] machine-readable date/time in the form : 1914-12-20 08:30:45['timedate'] Verbose time-date returned by default in the form (i.e) : Thursday 12th of February 2009 @ 04:25 AM ( Date: l jS \of F Y @ h:i A )['link'] Returns the full url friendly link of the page in case mod_rewite exists on the Apache modules or the link with a url get variable in case it doesn't ?p=url-slug['slug'] the slug defined on the admin area.$_CMS['is_page'] : Boolean returns if it is a page or not ( Useful to filter the index/home page )$_CMS['menu'] : Retuns an HTML unordered list with all the active pages linked to their pages. With an active class on the current element ( class="active" )$_CMS['prev_page'] full url friendly link to the previous page if exists, otherwise will return a link to the site url.$_CMS['next_page'] full url friendly link to the next page if exists, otherwise will return a link to the site url.$_CMS['is_404'] : Boolean returning if the page is a 404 not found file.On the config.php file, you can add more 'key' => 'value' items to the returned array so you can access to them later on the main template. They will be encapsulated in the parent array $_CMS['site']
For example, by adding at the end of the config array the new pair : 'my_var' => 'my_value'
<?php return array (
'user' => 'weasel',
'pass' => 'weaselcms',
'db' => 'data.dat',
'site_language' => 'en',
...
'files_folder' => '../files',
'my_var' => 'my_value',
);You can later call it by using the bracket syntax : {{ $_CMS['site']['my_var'] }}
