FAQ

Who should use FUEL CMS?
FUEL CMS was built for developers that like to work in the CodeIgniter framework and need a lightweight, highly customizable CMS for their clients that integrates nicely with their code. If you are looking for a CMS first and are not familiar with CodeIgniter or comfortable writing code, then FUEL may not be a right fit. If so, here are some other great alternatives:
Where is the installer?
FUEL CMS does not have an installer at the moment, unless you include yourself as part of the installation. The installation process has a few short steps that should be familiar with anyone who has set up a CodeIgniter website. If you are having problems installing FUEL, check our user guide, Forums or send us an email at .
Does FUEL CMS Use CodeIgniter 2.0?
Yes. FUEL CMS uses the official CodeIgniter 2.0 release (Reactor) as of version 0.9.2.
Do I need .htaccess enabled?
No. However we use it to prevent access to certain folders and enable mod_rewrite. You can move the fuel folder above the web root.
Do I need the mod_rewrite module for Apache?
No. However, it is the preferred way of using FUEL. The Apache mod_rewrite module is used to remove the index.php front controller from the URI path. You can always change the $config['index_page'] value in the main CodeIgniter configuration to be the index.php page.
Do you support other languages besides english?
As of the 0.9.2 release, FUEL CMS allows for localization of the interface. Several languages are currently being worked on by community members and can be found on GitHub
