What is ProSiteManager

I'm a developer with a few websites I commonly work on. As I update and improve the code for one website, it's a really huge pain of a task to go back and do the same improvements to all the other websites. It's to easy to fix a bug on one website then forget or miss it on another.

To make things much easier on myself, I developed a universal core with all the features, functions, and modules I commonly use in all my websites. Each website uses the exact same core code, and every page and image of the site is loaded via the core's index.php file. It's designed to use drop-in content in the html folder. The core finds the html and images to load, and loads any modules that are needed for that page. Each site uses the same modules, but are customized by changing settings for each site.

To push an update to a live website, I log in to ssh and run the command ./update.bash and all the changes are patched into the files using subversion. The site could be updated without subversion just by dropping in the new core files or html/configs.

The code has gone through many changes over the years, but the soul purpose has stayed the same. It has faded away and returned a few times, but it still gets the job done, so it's still updated and in use.

ProSiteManager is currently in use on this site and a few others:

• SchematicsForFree.com
• GrowControl.com
