Development of ARK 2.0 is occurring in the open on GitHub https://github.com/lparchaeology/ark2
+
The primary aims of ARK2 are:
 +
* Full code re-write to modern standards using modern components
 +
* Separate the ARK Database backend from the ARK Web frontend
 +
* Implement a modern REST API to allow other frontends and apps to access and update the ARK Database
 +
* Simplify the setup and configuration of ARK by moving the config into the database and providing online config tools
 +
* Improve the overall performance and data integrity of ARK
 +
* Make it possible to provide an ARK hosting service
  
−
== Configuration ==
+
Modern frontend
 +
* HTML5
 +
* Bootstrap based
 +
* Twig templates
 +
* Front Controller model
 +
* Config driven pages views
  
−
Significant changes to the configuration of ARK are being made to move from PHP file based configuration to database based configuration. This section will document these changes.

* Full REST API to access and update all ARK data

* Database abstraction and Object Relational Mapping

* Config driven data schema

* User Authorisation via Role Based Access Control (RBAC) using hierarchical Roles and Permissions structure
 +
* Field-level data access control

* Data Workflows in conjunction with User Authorisation control

* The config/ folder will contain all user-editable php files required
+
== Documentation ==
−
* The php/settings/ folder will contain the generic settings files and templates for moving to config/. This allows upstream changes to be made to the templates and upgrades performed more easily.
 
−
* The env_settings.php file is replaced by database.php and server.php
 
−
* database.php contains the settings for the database connection
 
−
* server.php contains the settings for the server file paths
 
−
* To set-up an ARK, copy database.php, server.php and preflight_checks.php from php/settings to config/ and edit as required
 
−
* preflight_checks.php now defaults to off, so needs to be enabled before running, and then deleted form config afterwards
 
−
* settings.php has moved from config/ to php/settings/ and no longer requires user editing, all settings are now help in the database and should be configured per the instructions
