what is simpleCE?

simpleCE is a simple Content-Management System with front-end editor mode. That means, you can directly edit its contents, files and images in the view in which you would see your website as a normal user. There is also no complex back-end, no complicated settings or other hindrances. The system has been so designed that one need not familiarize oneself with a complex template or theme system, because there are none. Templates can be designed individually through separate PHP Includes.

How can I create a Backup of my data and files?
You can find all functions for a Backup in the menu "Backup & Optimization". simpleCE will create two files with each backup, the first one with the suffix "db" is a backup of your database, the second one with the suffix "uploads" is a backup of your media files that was stored in the uploads folder.

The database backup contains a PhpMyAdmin compatible .sql file.

How can I update my installation of simpleCE?
You can use the quick and simple way over the auto update function. The updater is stored under "Settings > System and Updates".

If your Server configuration does not match to the auto updater requirements you can also do a manual update. Overwrite all files in the simplece folder, but exclude the config.php and the uploads and backups folder!

Before you run an update it is really recommended to create a backup of all files via your preferred FTP-Client.

How can I change the name of the simplece folder?
1. change the name of the folder before the installation
2. open frontend.php and change the constant sce_folder with your new folder name

In some cases it's possible that this file will be overwritten by an update and you need to set this setting again!
