CiiMS is a high performance CMS blogging platform designed to be easy to use, fun to work with, and easy to develop with. CiiMS is fast, powerful, extendable, and flexible, and is optimized to run with a combination of tools such as Memcache, Redis, APC, and Sphinx - but can run in other configurations. The intent is to have a easy to use CMS platform that runs on Yii that is fast, user friendly, easy to use, effecient and not resource intensive.

Be sure to checkout www.ciims.org to pre-register for exclusive early access to our hosted platform.

See the Upgrading Guide for notes on how to upgrade from one version to another.

Yup, I'm stealing this idea from Syte because I think it is awesome. If you use and love CiiMS create a pull request that modifies this readme and adds a 60x60 avatar image as a link to your site. If you want to a border color that's fine too.

CiiMS comes with a built in installer which will walk you through the setup process and provide you with information in the event it can't do something. The installer should be fairly straightforward. If you run into issues during the installation, it's most likely a permission issues with /assets, /protected/runtime, or /protected/config. The installer has built in error support, and by default will recommend you make a few directories writable. Any others are most likely a setup issue rather than an issue with the installer.

Please see the installation guide for a full guide on how to install CiiMS.

If you require support at any time, submit a Github issue and I'll look into it as soon as I can.
