In order to explain how GalaxiaEditor works, Let's suppose we have a server with 2 websites that use GalaxiaEditor: example1.com and example2.net.
GalaxiaEditor and your websites reside in separate directories inside your web serving directory, /var/www/galaxia in this example:
/var/www/galaxia/
├── _GalaxiaEditor/
├── example1.com/
└── example2.net/
In this setup, the 3 example websites will share the same GalaxiaEditor code
No data is ever stored inside _GalaxiaEditor and each website stores and manages its own data independently.
In this example the GalaxiaEditor directory starts with an _ (underscore) to appear first in directory listings, this is a convention to make development easier, but it could have any other name.
Note
You are not supposed to change anything inside _GalaxiaEditor directory.
This way you can update GalaxiaEditor with just agit pull.
Each website has a separate entry point or front controller:
example1.com/public/index.php
example2.net/public/index.php
GalaxiaEditor has its own front controller in _GalaxiaEditor/public/edit/index.php
Your web server (nginx) directs all visitors of the url example1.com/edit and all urls that that start with example1.com/edit/ to the GalaxiaEditor front controller.
All the other pages of the website are directed to the example1.com front controller.
The same happens with example2.net and any other number of websites.
GalaxiaEditor knows for which website the request came for, so it can load that website's configuration file (example1.com/config/app.php), containing database credentials, languages, timezone and other data.
Then if it finds a session, it loads it, authenticates the user and loads the user's data.
If there isn't a session or the user fails to authenticate, it shows the login page or the website's error page.
With the user data loaded, GalaxiaEditor parses the website's editor configuration (example1.com/config/editor.php), strips all parts of it that the user hasn't permission to, and validates it in order to give developers hints of what is misconfigured.
With the editor configuration loaded, it proceeds to route and serve the request.
When a person uses GalaxiaEditor to edit the content of a website, one or more of the following side effects may happen:
- The website MySQL database content of the website is updated.
- Images are uploaded, resized, renamed or deleted from website/var/media/image directory of the website, along with image metadata files.
- Cache files are generated or deleted from website/var/cache
- The Redis database is updated. Each website uses its own prefix;
