What do you want in a CMS?

    I generally build custom CMS's every week or so, but they are nothing fancy, for my personal amusement only, with little or no admin functionality.

    I use the same core on all my CMS's and have now decided to release one to the public. So I have extended this core to multiple files, added much more functionality, security and general user-friendliness to it. However, what I want in a CMS is most likely different than what you want in a CMS.

    I want this CMS to be the most unique,modern, standards compliant script out there, so I make use of Ajax (with PHP fallbacks), everything validates fine, and it contains some great features not seen anywhere else.

    So just tell me what you want, here is a list of features I have so far:

    • Multiple users and usergroups
    • Comments on articles
    • Multiple pages and categories
    • An incredible module manager, allowing amazing additions to the software
    • One click HTML to PHP themes (very powerful script here).
    • Ajax driven admin panel, and semi-ajax driven frontend.

    The module system I am very, very proud of. If you are just beginning PHP, you can start coding modules for my system easily - you can insert and retrieve data from the database with just one line of code, same thing goes for creating new users, articles and pages.

    You can convert any .html file to a theme supported by my system. However, to maintain standards compliance, templates made in Dreamweaver WYSIWYG will not convert.

    Doctype correction is also enabled, meaning if you use <br> in an xHTML doctype, it automatically corrects to <br/>. If you use <center> in a strict doctype, the doctype shall change to transitional.


    Coming in next versions:

    • Support for multiple database types.
    • Greater control over sessions, cookies and headers.



    So, suggest away my dear friends,

    Josh

    Sorry, but I'm not looking for work right now, I have tonnes of money. I just want to get this done and see how it goes over.

    Already in there....

    If you wish to make a new page via code, the PHP is:

    new_page($page_name,$content)

    However, my 15th birthday present just arrived (new computer parts), so I am gonna put that together, and have a linux server on it, so I can devlop and test easier, so development willll be halted a few days.

    Yes, I will. Whether it will be commercial or free I haven't decided yet.

    I have now completely finished the article system, so each article/page is loaded via Ajax, while still being able to be indexed by searched engines and viewed by users with Javascript disabled. I expect a release in late May/early June.

    Cheers,

    BP
