jeff-flatpage is a jeff module that lets you store simple "flat" HTML content in a database and handles the management for you via jeff’s admin interface. It is the right module to use for the creation of "About" or "Privacy Policy" type pages, which don't need a specific module and implementation.

So it's ready! The first jeff module for the management of HTML contents is available for the download in the otto github account, release v1.0.

Let's see the main features:

• Management of html pages (date, title, subtitle abstract, text, images, videos, visualization privileges)
• Visualization through customizable templates
• Translations availables for english and italian
• Error pages 404 (not found) and 403 (forbidden)
• Possibility to restrict the access to contents to a set of chosen system groups.

Please for complete instructions about the module installation refer to the README file of the github repository.

Please comment here for general considerations, use the proper github area for bug reporting.

Enjoy it ;)

A questo punto ci ritroveremo con la cartella jeff che include tutto il codice necessario. Mettiamo la cartella all'interno della document root, tipo

/var/www/jeff

e passiamo alla creazione del database...

Creiamo un db

All'interno della cartella principale troviamo il file jeff.sql, il quale contiene le istruzioni SQL per creare le tabelle di cui Jeff ha bisogno nella sua configurazione base. Allora dobbiamo:

• Creare un database, ad esempio db_jeff
• Creare un utente che possa eseguire statements sul database creato, in fase di sviluppo ed in locale solitamente questo non si fa e si utilizza l'utente root senza password
• Eseguire tutte le query contenute nel file jeff.sql per creare le tabelle, questo si ...

Wow...
on the 26 of july 2011 I received an email from the Softpedia editorial team congratulating and announcing that my 2 little creatures: Jeff and mooReadAll were added to their database. They assign me a page as a developer, with the products I've done.

I know this is not the end of the world but I'm proud of such thing.

Both creatures are licensed under the MIT license, and developed by me inside Otto srl
