Welcome
Welcome to the home of the Clansuite community.
This site acts as a central point of information and collaboration for the developers and all other contributors or interested observers of the "Clansuite - just an eSport CMS" project.
Introduction
Clansuite is just another content-management-system, but this one is state-of-the-art and especially for esports teams. It's designed to effectively manage and administrate team-ressources, people, processes and information on the web, while (hopefully) driving better competitive results.
Because of it's modular design approach, it could be used by everyone demanding a feature-rich and easy to maintain content management system.
It's even suitable for "real-life" sports teams, associations, personal Web pages or to create the business Website for your company.
Reason for this Project
Comment by Jens-André Koch aka "vain"
As webmaster and orga of an e-sport team named "knd-squad" i used different cms over the years, most of them heavily modified by myself to fit our administrative needs and to take some work out of our hands.
Long time ago, I contributed some of my ideas and useful (imo) features to different clan-related cms communities, but found them only little organized, focused on un-needed things while being unable to help in development of important features or realize basic user-requests.
As I began to implement add-on's on my own, i found myself always working on the frame-level, reaching the borders of those cms. Too often they were lacking essential features while featuring essential design flaws to build upon. Some of my idea's couldn't be implemented easily, other ones ended too often on my sketchpad.
In the end i decided to start a e-sport dedicated cms from scratch. Clansuite was born.
My objective is to develop a community surrounded free clan cms/portal system, focused on essential administrative needs for both, e-sport and real-life sport teams, while keeping simplicity and maintainabilty in mind. Lets state: Less is more - and the eye-candy-stuff could always be added by good designers!
Features
Key Features
Clansuite is web-application for e-sport teams and clans written in PHP.
It's designed with simplicity in mind, while trying to keep in touch with the latest internet technologies.
It's core is object-oriented, rock-solid while simple and plugin-able. This CMS integrates and merges a whole bunch of superb open-source libraries.
- Object-Oriented Application
- Clansuite is developed as a object-oriented web-application.
- Design-Patterns used.
- It implements the web-MVC design-pattern and maps URLs to controllers and actions, and lets actions render views.
- Other implemented design-patterns are: Frontcontroller with InterceptingFilters, Singleton, Factory, Two-Step View, Facade, Adapter
- Iterator, Inversion of Control (Ioc), Dependency Injection via Phemto

- phpDoctrine acts as powerful Database Abstraction Layer and Object-Relation Mapping Tool.
- PDO itself supports the following databases: MySQL (sqlite, pgsql, odbc, oci, informix, firebird, dblib)
- Use of PDO Statements prevents SQL Injections.
- Security
- "SALT"ed password hashes for every useraccount - no possibility to decrypt neither the cookies hash nor the database hash!
- Define userrights for every action in admin control center or frontpage.
- Derived userrights from areas / groups / users.
- Extra inputfilter class to ensure validity of incoming variables.
- Precise logging of every step - admin contact on possible hacking attempts.

Standards compliance
Clansuite's output validates as XHTML 1.0, and its stylesheet validates as CSS 2.0. Some people will bug you about validation, telling you it's something overrated, and no so useful. Don't listen to them.
Validation may not be the Holy Grail, but it will help improving the web one page at the time, and will save you some headaches when you don't understand why your page is somewhat broken.
