Cotonti is a modular open source content management system and content management framework powered by PHP and MySQL. For an end-user Cotonti is a medium-featured content management system suitable for online communities, business and personal sites in first place, that can be extended for a variety of other site kinds: blogs, E-commerce, newspapers, gaming clans, corporate portals, etc. From a developer's point of view it consists of a minimalistic content management framework and a set of modules implementing standard behavior for exact website types. Application logic is built in conventional scripting style relying on APIs and models provided by the framework and other modules. A typical website setup is managed completely from a user front-end and administration backend and requires no coding skills. Custom websites may require PHP, SQL or HTML/CSS coding skills depending on type of a task: content markup, layout markup, application coding and localization procedures are completely differentiated from each other which is suitable for small to medium teams. Through the years of its evolution Cotonti has become similar to Drupal in many of its design aspects such as procedural core, bootstrapping, modular architecture and basic features found in many other systems too. But its unique tendencies are towards a harvested framework〔http://martinfowler.com/bliki/HarvestedFramework.html〕 and unbound customizability in both layout and behavior. ==Features== The engine distinguishes itself from other content management systems by keeping the HTML code completely separate from the PHP. This allows graphic designers to create themes (in versions prior to 0.9 skins) without having to know much PHP. Cotonti can be skinned by editing pre-made skins supplied by the community, or easily making one's own by creating a template, and simply substituting for the TPL tags. The engine sports the customary features of a CMS: Message boards, Administration tools, news system, polls, user file uploading, page creation, user registration; additional features can be added to the default engine via plugins. As a CMS, it can be extremely user-driven, requiring minimal input from moderators. Cotonti, while in some ways more basic than other content management systems, allows the possibility to be expanded and customized in every way. It is designed to be bare-bones and basic to prevent bloating of the core and leave additional features to be added at the choice of the individual website administrators. This has always been the central philosophy behind the design of the engine.〔http://www.cotonti.com/docs/devel/technical_concepts〕 Cotonti has support for Seditio plugins as well as a growing library of its own plugins. The design and layout of each site is supported by Web templates which allows the administrator to design a single or multiple templates to be used and chosen preference over by the users visiting the site. Support for multilingual sites allows for templates and plugins to be customized to support a wide variety of users on a single site. In turn, this allows each site member to choose a suitable language through which to view the site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cotonti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
