Kirby Knowledge Base
Kirby is a simple file-based cms, made by Bastian Allgeier. At 6Wunderkinder we're using it as an internal knowledge-base for any type of documentation (processes, products, API...). It took us a long time to find the best setup for this and because we think most companies are struggling with this, we decided to open-source it.
Features
- Markdown Formatting
- Syntax Highlighting
- Search
How to install?
Installing this is super simple!
- Download and install Kirby
- Download/clone this repository and copy over the files into the existing Kirby directories created in step 1.
- Create your own structure in the content folder! We've kept our's for the sake of demonstration, just delete what you don't need.
Tip: We highly recommend to use Kirby with Dropbox - locally and on your server and to share the content folder with everyone in the team to make editing content extremely simple.
What we've used to create the knowledge-base
- We've rewritten the [treemenu snippet](<https://github.com/bastianallgeier/kirbycms-extensions/tree/master/snippets/treemenu) to create a simple and clean menu
- We've used the breadcrumb snippet
- We've used the search plugin
- We've used the syntax highlighting plugin
- We created this simple theme (and got inspired from Facebook's docs)
