LeekCMS - A Full-featured CMS built with CodeIgniter 4 - devcodewithai - 05-28-2025

Hello CI4 Community,
I'd like to introduce a project I've been developing called LeekCMS. It's a fully-featured CMS built from the ground up using CodeIgniter 4, designed specifically for managing and monetizing digital content.
Quote:Goal: To create a CMS that is lightweight, fast, and ready-to-use out of the box for creators selling digital content such as videos, photo galleries, or paid memberships.
? Core Technologies:
  • Framework: CodeIgniter 4 (no 3rd-party CMS base)
  • Database: MySQL
  • Cloud Storage: Amazon S3-compatible
  • Dashboard: Built-in from scratch (no external themes/plugins)
? Key Features:
  • User management with Member Levels
  • Point-based and Subscription-based monetization
  • Full support for Video & Gallery content with Pay-per-view option
  • S3 integration with automatic thumbnail & folder scan for image galleries
  • Auto-generated Pricing & Activation Pages based on Member Levels
  • Activation Code System for points or member upgrades (independent from payment gateways)
  • Built-in Ads Module
  • Custom CSP Header Management via Admin Panel
  • Multi-language support (coming soon)
  • Admin dashboard 100% custom built with a simple, clean UI
  • Email settings, Analytics & Tracking, Site customization all within GUI
? A note from the developer:
This project is solo-developed by me, and while most of the core logic is complete, I'm currently looking for contributors or suggestions — especially help with building the multi-language module.
Many advanced features were created with end-user simplicity in mind, and I would love to bring this to a broader CI4 audience.
Quote:? The first GitHub version will be shared privately to early interested users. It will be made public 2 weeks later.
