KuB Website

This is the custom PHP code that powers https://kub-berlin.org/.

Features

• translations: The website is translated into 6 languages, with german as a fallback if a translation does not exist. The language is determined via a path prefix. The rest of the path is the same for all languages.
• flexible editing: TinyMCE is used as a WYSIWYG editor. It is configured to encourage semantic editing and supports custom elements like info or warning boxes. It also allows to enter raw HTML, so even things like iframes and forms can be created. JavaScript and CSS are prohibited by a Content Security Policy though. The editor uses the actual CSS to show a realistic preview.
• full page cache: The completely rendered pages are stored in a way that apache can directly return the cached file on subsequent requests. So in those cases, PHP is not involved at all. The cache is cleared automatically on edits.
• modules: Some parts of the website appear on every page but should still be editable by regular users. These are modelled as top-level pages and therefore have just the same features (translation and flexible editing).
