I would like to share with you my latest work that you are free to download. I dubbed it PureFront because it runs off PureEdit and FrameFront. This is my first time running on either platform as they are still fresh of the oven. And no this is not another CMS, it’s just a theme/website template. In case you didn’t know, PureEdit is basically a back end CMS solution that doesn’t touch the front end at all. While FrameFront only touches the front end and doesn’t touch the back. This makes them a powerful combination. Michael Dick is behind this awesome creation. I suggest you check it out. The great thing about PureEdit is that it is really flexible and customizable. You can create your own plugin, add fields, create a theme for the CMS, write a translation, and even rework the whole thing to your liking. In his own word:

Framefront. The most simplistic front-end framework you’ll ever meet.

PureEdit is the first CMS that dramatically simplifies the back-end development of your website while giving you full control of the front-end design and programming. By allowing such uncommon flexibility, PureEdit empowers you to design web sites from the ground up, without forcing you to follow the narrow template rules you’ll find elsewhere.

Why?

So why PureFront? Well for one the PureEdit community asked for a sample of PureEdit and FrameFront working together. So I decided to pitch in to the project and help out. It also kept me busy for a while. You also get a “fixed” Help Center which had a bug in the release I downloaded and you also get a new field during the install asking for the site’s description to call later and for a better SEO.

To install all you have to do is install PureEdit normally then import the mySQL database supplied (pure.sql) using phpMyAdmin. Then you should have it nice and running.

Disclaimer

Note that this is an as-is product. I’m sorry if it doesn’t work for you. You can try to ask for help at the PureEdit community or here. I’ll try my best to reply if you have any question. But I make not guarantees You may use it publically and even for small commercial project. As long as you give credit where it’s due. By that I mean the footer intact or at least a linkback here.

Update

Also this was built on PE 1.4. Which seems to turn outdated yesterday. Although there is no major changes. And you should still be able to use the theme anyway (I haven’t personally tested). Just copy and paste the “FrameFront” folder and “index.php” to the new PE.

You also probably need to add:

<?php
// Site Settings.
$settings['site'] = array
(
“title” => “(Site Title)“,
“url” => “(Site URL)“,
“desc” => “(Site Description)“
);

to “pe-admin/library/settings.lib.php” and

<?php
// Define settings.
define("SITE_TITLE", $settings['site']['title']);
define(”SITE_URL”, $settings['site']['url']);
define(”SITE_DESC”, $settings['site']['desc']);

to “pe-admin/library/definitions.lib.php” to get the “site description” which you call by using “SITE_DESC“.

Hope you enjoy!
