A feature rich content framework bundle for Laravel.

Xysti makes templating simpler. You provide a sitemap array containing page meta and Xysti's template helper generates your <title> tags, breadcrumbs, navigation menus and more.

Xysti's sitemap makes many tasks simpler, for example to require user authentication for a page just include 'auth' => TRUE in the page meta. Need to hide a page from the navigation menu? 'hidden' => TRUE

Xysti makes developing both static and dynamic websites a breeze a master template is automatically loaded with your page content nested.

• Flexible template helper functions
• Master template and content views
• Automated post data validation (requires Former)
• Easily generate login / logout pages
• Rich error views using your master template

Installating Xysti only takes a few steps. First, upload all the files to the bundles directory. Second, copy the two config files xysti.php and sitemap.php to your application/config directory. Finally, add xysti to your bundles array: application/bundles.php.

return array(

	'xysti' => array( 'auto' => true )
	
);

Page meta is the foundation of Xysti. The meta takes the form of a recursive array defined in config/sitemap.php. Each page is a key within the array with at least a title attribute.

• title string The page title you would like to use within the navigation menu, the <title> and <h1>
• content string The content view to load from the views/content directory. Default is segment1.segment2.segment3
• redirect string The URI will redirect to another page or another website. Default is false
• hidden bool Is the hidden in the navigation menu and in the sitemap.xml. Default is false. If auth = true the page will be hidden from non authenticated users.
• disabled bool If true the page will 404. Default is false
• post_rules array An array of POST validator rules.
• post_success string The URI of the page to redirect to after successful POST validation.
• / array An array of child pages and their meta.

return array(

	'about' => array(
		'title' = 'About Us'
	)

	
);

return array(

	'portfolio' => array(
		'title' => 'My portfolio',
		'/' => array(
			'web-design' => array(
				'title' => 'Website design'
			),
			'photography' => array(
				'title' => 'Photography'
			)
		)
	)
	
);

return array(

	'images' => array(
		'title' => 'Images',
		'/' => 'dynamic'
	)

	
);

On the outset the redirect and href meta attributes may appear to do the same thing but it's a matter of visibility. href should be used to incorporate an link in a menu where a page has never existed; though it appears in the context with an apparent URI no URI exists at that place. redirect is used if you wish to mask the destination of a URI. For instance you may wish to redirect the URI login to users/authentication/login. Or it could be used as a short url for an external page. For instance example.com/linkedin could redirect to http://www.linkedin.com/your-profile.

return array(
	
	'contact' => array(
		'title' => 'Contact us',
		'post_rules' => array(
			'email' => 'required|email',
			'message' => 'required'
		),
		'post_success' => 'thank-you'
	),
	
	'thank-you' => array(
		'title' => 'Thanks for getting in touch!'
	)
	
);
