The Awesome Creative Media Engine is a CMS designed to help artists, designers, and producers create a cohesive and streamlined experience for both the end user and the creator, with a media-driven organization system, flexible APIs, support for news, static pages, scores, comments, and content advisory ratings. And with CodeIgniter's separation of the logic from the presentation, PHP templates can be easily written without mucking about with function calls. ACME is ideal for creative studio showcases, artist collections, webcomics, portfolios, and more, with support for written word, video, audio, still images (including comics), interactive media, or any combination you desire.

git

Clone the code with git clone https://github.com/wearethelayabouts/ACME.git or take a look at the github repository.

Set up the database

Go to /application/migrations/ and find the migrations for your version of ACME. Run these in order (from 001 onword) in your favorite MySQL editor.

Configuration

Prepare configuration files

Rename config.sample.php, database.sample.php, and tank_auth.sample.php to config.php, database.php, and tank_auth.php respectively. To do this you can either use a file manager or type the below into your terminal:

cd # Insert the location of where you dropped ACME here
mv /application/config/config.sample.php /application/config/config.php
mv /application/config/database.sample.php /application/config/database.php
mv /application/config/tank_auth.sample.php /application/config/tank_auth.php

Edit the configuration files

Go to /application/config/ and adjust config.php and database.php to match your environment.

Set up an administrator

Enable public registration

Open tank_auth.php and find the line that says $config['allow_registration'] = FALSE;. Temporarily change this to TRUE. This will allow anyone to register on your ACME install, so don't leave this open for long.

Create an account

Open your web browser and go to the directory you dropped ACME in plus /auth/register. Create an account and click the verification link in your inbox.

Close registration

Open tank_auth.php and find the line that says $config['allow_registration'] = TRUE; and change this back to FALSE. This will disable public registration.

Hit the admin panel

Open your web browser and go to the directory you dropped ACME in plus /toolbox and login using the credentials you previously created.
