Announce: Website In A Box

Hi Kieren,

Just started playing with it...

You've got some commas at the end of the first two
'requires' lines in
Makefile.PL which break things badly.

Also, (not that it's your fault) URI::Fetch, which is a
dependency of
XML::Feed, fails its test so needs a forced install.

After that all started OK, but on the home page it came up
with the
warning:

read_file
'/users/jon/public_html/WIAB/trunk/WIAB/t/content/index.pod'
-
sysopen: No such file or directory
at
/users/jon/public_html/WIAB/trunk/WIAB/script/../lib/WIAB/Mo
del/Content.pm line 43

Guess I'd better read the docs now!

HTH.

...caused by wiab_local.yml being used in preference to
wiab.yml when
running via script/wiab_server.pl.

I can see why it is that way, but ends up being a trap for
young
players.

Now that it's running, looks nice!

In the canal?

Actually I thought you had it at present.

I've just starting having a play with it.

How do you envisage upgrades working? That is, how do I not
munge my
page about my cats when I svn up?

By coincidence, I've been thinking about CMSes for Catalyst
for a
while, so I'm interested to see how you're approaching it.

I usually (using TT) do something like:

INCLUDE_PATH: [base_framework_stuff app_stuff]

All the templates go into base_framework_stuff
All modifications needed for an app (or maybe even a
sub-area of an app) 
go into app_stuff.

You just need to break your templates into enough smallish
components. 
In the end, it feels a lot like OO templates, where you can
"override" 
the "base implementation".

kd apparently disagrees.  There can be more than one CMS.
