Adds a panel to quick-install certain CMSs in AlternC. This module provides support for WordPress and Drupal.

Support for other CMSs may be added by other AlternC plugins. See "Extending" for more information.

Installation

Pre-requisites

For [WordPress][1]: Install WP-CLI

For [Drupal][2]: Install Drush

Manual Install

make install

If AlternC is installed in another directory, use something like: ALTERNC_BASE_PATH=/your/path/alternc make install

Configuration

Once installed, add the Drush or WP-CLI paths to /etc/alternc/locals.sh. These need to be accessible within the basedir restrictions of the AlternC panel.

Example: ALTERNC_DRUSH_BIN=/usr/local/bin/drush ALTERNC_WPCLI_BIN=/usr/local/bin/wp

If they are not configured, the links for installation will be disabled. If no CMSs are configured, the quick links menu item will not be displayed.

Extending

A number of hooks are available to modify the install form and run the actual install. Drupal and WordPress are implemented as examples that could done in another module easily.

Roadmap

This module is basically at a 'proof of concept' point. For a first proper release, the following should probably be added:

• make sure form content and variables are properly escaped when passed between scripts
• user interface / form cleanup
  • hide form elements based on choices
  • sub-domain list changing based on chosen domain
  • hide un-necessary detail
• fix localization in messages
• tests

Nice to haves:

• threaded install script so user feedback doesn't have to wait X minutes until the shell scripts finish
