## Notes

PbootCMS is a PHP content management system for corporate websites, with its website and documentation in Chinese. The default database is SQLite, so the published source runs from a PHP web space without a database server. The [README](https://github.com/pbootcmspro/PbootCMS/blob/master/README.md) describes MySQL as the alternative, set up by importing the bundled SQL file. The back end is a responsive admin built on LayUI, and pages are built with the software's own tag syntax, such as `{pboot:list}`.

The feature list includes custom content models and fields, multi-language and multi-region sites with bound domains, custom forms, and role and permission management.

## Worth knowing

Each site needs a domain authorization code. The project issues it free on its [authorization page](https://www.pbootcms.com/freesn/), and that page says the code is checked without a network connection. The project also sells a universal code valid for any domain. The README says all code is Apache 2.0 licensed except one authorization file. The homepage lists the online shop feature as not yet developed.
