NPL Admin Site Framework

WebServer/admin is a open source NPL-based web site framework. It comes with the main package and contains all source code of NPLCodeWiki. It is served as a demo of writing web applications.

How to run NPL Admin Site

or you can run with more options like

npl bootstrapper="script/apps/WebServer/WebServer.lua"  port="8099"

Once started, you can visit the admin site from http://localhost:8099

Introduction

I have implemented it according to the famous WordPress.org blog site. The default theme template is based on "sensitive" which is a free theme of wordpress. "sensitive" theme has no dependency on media and can adjust display and layout according to screen width, which is suitable for showing on mobile phone device.

How to use

• copy everything in this folder to your own web site root, say /www/MySite/
• modify wp-content/database/*.xml for site description and menus.
• add your own web pages to wp-content/pages/, which are accessed by their filename in the url.
• If you want more customization to the look, modify the wp-content/themes/sensitive or create your own theme folder. Remember to set your theme in wp-content/database/table_sitemeta.xml, which contains all options for the site.

Architecture

The architecture is based on Wordpress.org (4.0.1). Although everything is rewritten in NPL, I have kept all functions, filters, and file names identical to wordpress. 
See `wp-includes/` for the framework source code.

Code locations: * framework loader is in wp-settings.page * site options: wp-content/database/table_sitemeta.xml: such as theme, default menu, etc. * menus: wp-content/database/table_nav_menu.xml

Ajax framework

Any request url begins with `ajax/xxx` use the `wp-admin/admin-ajax.page`. it will automatically load the page xxx.  and invoke `do_action('wp_ajax_xxx')`. 
If the request url begins with `ajax/xxx?action=yyy`, then page xxx is loaded, and `do_action('wp_ajax_xxx')` is invoked. 
A page that handles ajax request needs to call `add_action('wp_ajax_xxx'， function_name)` to register a handler for ajax actions. 
see `wp-content/pages/aboutus.page` for an example.
