radium v2.1.1

This is mainly a bugfix release that contains bugfixes for the following:

• handling of multiple neon files within Neon::find()
• renders date fields in forms as expected
• using file-based navigation on admin (read: scaffolding) sidebar

The only feature addition is the schema-type of neon, which directly renders a textarea on scaffold.

radium v2.1.0

• Introducing file-based data storage
• enhanced scaffolding (auto-guesses model by Controller)
• added file-based navigations per library
• Assets Import / Export improved with savable default values
• File utility with library relative file-find and included file-content conversion
• some bugfixes

File-based data storage

1. create a file at {:library}/data/{:class}/{:id}.neon
2. Trigger a $class::load($id) and you will find your entity
3. Trigger a $class::find('all', array('conditions' => array('slug' => 'foo')); and you will return all entities from files if database has none.

file-based navigations per library

You can now create custom navigations per library. Create a file at {:library}/data/nav/sidebar.neon with the following content:

-
    name: Users & People
    url: /users
    icon: users
-
    name: Pages
    url: /pages (optional, will be derived from name)
    icon: page-content
    badge: 5

It will be displayed wherever you use your Navigation Helper like this: echo $this->Navigation->group('sidebar') or you create your own navigation on the fly via echo $this->Navigation->render($navigation) with the same array-structure.

Sidebar is rendered automatically on scaffold-views and within the radium layout.

File utility

You can just load any file content from any library with File::contents('radium/path/file.extension'). It will automatically retrieve the absolute path to any loaded library and not only load the content but convert it to any format, that is understood by the Converter class, currently: markdown, yaml, neon, json, ini, mustache and handlebars.

Enhanced Scaffolding

Just create a Controller, extending radium\controllers\ScaffoldController and see how it automatic guesses the correct model for that Controller and scaffolding CRUD actions. For example:

<?php

namespace admin\controllers;

class UsersController extends BaseController {}

radium v2.0.0

This is a major redesign with a new admin interface and much more stability and functionality.

radium v1.0.0

This release marks the first release of a series of years developing this library. Mainly, these are concepts on how a plugin or base-framework should look like. It is inspired by a lots of content-management systems as well as best practices for framework-code.

Its predecessor, flour, has been built for cakephp, but is now obsolete. Most of the concepts are still alive, though and can be found within radium.
