User-friendly CMS for small organisations and clubs. Form Generator, Mailer, Certificate Generator and much more :)
We are running a chapter (club) at our college. We organize 20+ events for our 1500+ participants. It was a tedious process to manually make forms, certificates, advertising via mail so we decided to automate that process. Any organization, clubs or institutions looking for a similar service can fork our project and tweak it according to their needs.
What things you need to run the software:
- A web server with PHP preferably Apache2.
- A MySQL Database Server. (Done and tested on 10.4.8-MariaDB)
- Create and Import the CMS Database dump for MySQL-MariaDB from here
- Create a Forms Database.
- Copy the files from this repository to a location in the root directory of the web server
- Rename
member/secrets.php_
tomember/secrets.php
- Update your database credentials, databases names (CMS and Forms) and API Keys in
member/secrets.php
andpublic/cds-public.php
- With your Web Server and MySQL server running, visit the site
-
Default Username: admin Default Password: admin
-
- If any error occurs, check your configurations in
member/secrets.php
andpublic/cds-public.php
and try again
Tested on Apache/2.4.41 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1c PHP/7.3.11 with 10.4.8-MariaDB
A two-ended system (Both for admin and public) that'll automatically generate certificates and make them available for distribution. The admin will have to upload a Certificate Template and a CSV file with Participant Names, Position Awarded, and Event Name. The generated certificates would be later automatically made for distribution.

This is an interface for the databases that are used. The administrator can update, insert and delete values from any table of the databases without having to risk cluttering with the structure or format. The interface is made as generic possible to support future development and extensions.

This tool is used to generate forms for events. Initially, the specifications of the event must be selected and a form is generated with the designated fields and a table is automatically created in forms-db
. The form also has built-in validation for all the fields (emails, URLs, etc) and Markdown support for event descriptions. Once the form is sent out, the entered values are updated in the database.

A link shortener that uses the short.io
