Envaya is a communication and publishing platform for many independent users with interfaces via the web, mobile web, and SMS. Envaya consists of a generic core framework, together with modular tools and applications designed specifically for civil society organizations in developing countries. Envaya is designed to be easy-to-use by people with very limited computer skills, so it generally favors simplicity over the customizability offered by generic content management tools such as Wordpress, Drupal, or Google Sites. Envaya also is designed for low-bandwidth and mobile environments, and provides multilingual support including content translation. For more information about Envaya's software and design principles, see http://envaya.org/envaya/page/software Potential ways of using Envaya's source code may include: * Contributing code to be used on http://envaya.org, such as new website designs, or applications specific to civil society organizations. * Adapting Envaya for a different class of users and hosting a service yourself. * Studying the source code for inspiration, or adapting parts of the source code into unrelated projects. * ...? The GitHub repository https://github.com/youngj/Envaya only contains the subset of Envaya's source code that is open-source. Additional modules are developed as closed-source code and stored in separate repositories. ============ Installation ============ See INSTALL.txt ======= License ======= See LICENSE.txt ==================== Source Code Overview ==================== www/ - Document root for web requests. www/index.php is entry point for all PHP requests. www/_media/ contains static files served directly by the web server. start.php - File that can be included by any PHP script to initialize the Envaya engine make.php - Main build script. Minifies JavaScript and CSS, copies media files to www/_media/, and generates cache files in build/ . In a development environment (with 'debug' => true in config/local.php), most changes don't require running make.php, except for modifying static files in _media. runserver.php - Runs various daemon processes (only for development environment, not production server) _media/ - Static files, e.g. images and Flash. make.php copies these to www/_media/ build/ - PHP files dynamically created by make.php deploy/ - Scripts for deploying code to production servers config/ - Configuration settings. Local settings should be defined in config/local.php engine/ - Autoloaded PHP classes. Controllers, models, and other non-view PHP code is defined here. js/ - Uncompressed JavaScript code. make.php minifies them and copies to www/_media/. lib/ - PHP files included on every request (mostly standalone functions which can't be autoloaded) languages/ - Localized strings for the user interface in each supported language schema/ - SQL for initializing the database scripts/ - Miscellaneous command line scripts test/ - Test scripts. test/TestSuite.php is main script themes/ - Metadata for page themes vendors/ - Third-party PHP libraries and external programs views/ - PHP files loaded by the view() function (engine/lib/views.php) which render parts of the output. Organized by viewtype, 'default' is standard HTML view mod/ - Modules, which are a (mostly) self-contained implementation of some feature set. Some modules may be stored in a separate source control repository with different licensing terms. Each module's directory structure is analogous to the top level directory structure, e.g.: mod/<modulename>/{_media,js,engine,config,languages,schema,test,themes,views} Each module must contain a file located at mod/<modulename>/module.php which defines a class Module_<modulename> that extends Module. This Module_<modulename> subclass defines how classes and views defined in other modules/core should be modified if this module is loaded. For the most part, files in enabled modules work the same as if they were defined in the corresponding top level directory; e.g. it acts like each module directory tree is merged into the top level directory tree. =============== Getting Started =============== See TUTORIAL.txt for step-by-step walk-throughs about how to work with Envaya's source code. ============= Running tests ============= Envaya's user-interface tests are in the test/ directory. The tests assume that no Envaya services are currently running, and that Firefox is installed on the local computer. To run the tests, run the following script from the command line: php test/TestSuite.php
