IPS Application Boilerplate

For IPS 4.4x developers a simple boilerplate for Application building. A standard Application directory setup with a minimal set of files including routers, controllers , templates and dev folder for a starting base. Includes default index page for starters.

Features

• Standard file and directory structure for IPS 4.4 Application development
• Generic "dashboard" modules [Front/Admin] for starters
• Application.php includes standard permissions, icon and FrontNavigation
• Extensions: FrontNavigation
• Modules Front: Main Controller
• Modules Admin: Overview and Settings Controllers (Enable applications, group permissions, custom appplication name)
• Data JSON: acpmenu, acpsearch, extensions, furl, modules, settings [application, hooks, widgets, schema, themesettings, tasks and version not provided but generated automatically]
• dev folder: lang and html starter files. [css, js, resources, or email not provided]

Usage and Install

• First create a new application in IPS developer Mode and fill in the information. Application directory will be your application name, make note of it for below.

• Enter the Developer center for your application

  • Create your version typically 1.0.0 (10000)
  • Create "dashboard" in Modules-Admin (You can choose another name for this directory but make sure to update the boilerplate directory name as well as file class names)
  • Create "dashboard" in Modules-Front (You can choose another name for this directory but make sure to update the boilerplate directory name as well as file class names)

• A small amount of editing on your part will get you up and running in a couple minutes. Rename all instances of boilerplate/Boilerplate [case sensitive!!!] in files and directory names to match your aplications name. I suggest using a text app like TextCrawler to do it in a second or your favorite text editor to find and replace [Match Case please!!!].

• Files

  • \Application.php [6 instances]
  • \modules\front\dashboard\main.php [7 instances]
  • \modules\admin\dashboard\overview.php [6 instances]
  • \modules\admin\dashboard\settings.php [22 instances]
  • \extensions\core\FrontNavigation\Boilerplate.php [10 instances plus file name]
  • \dev\lang.php [23 instances]

• Upload the contents of the src directory to your new app directory

• To test, make it the default application and add a menu item for your application

• Have fun developing!
