phpwcms Support Forum

Hi all,


this day I looked at http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ to compare phpwcms and other CMS systems.

Unfortunately they still take phpwcms 1.1RC4 for comparing...

My question to OG: Is it possible for you to send them actual data for 1.3.3 or perhaps the next release?

Typo3 has the version 4.1.1 which is the actual release, Typolight has 2.4.0 at http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ ...

We should show the users, which status phpwcms now has, not the status of almost 3 years ago...


Thanks in advance.

Joachim


P.S.: Why is it not possible to write c o m p a r i s o n here in this message, I always get **** instead of it??? Does it belong to a spam filter?

phpwcms needs more [guerrilla] marketing

phpwcms needs "egal welche" PR, as i said since nearly 2 years.

Nobody knows our sweetheard, if no one tells the world, that it's born!!!

By the way, what are some of the recent developments for phpwcms? I've been over in the TYPOlight forum a lot lately, so I haven't been able to keep up with wcms' development.

Have the following modules / features been implemented yet?
- Front-end & back-end users, groups and permissions
- Calendar module
- Forum bridge that allows user registration / authentication of front-end users to also take affect in a forum
- Live update or auto-patching system
- Lightbox
- Accordions

I know a lot of these things have been worked on as hacks / mods, but I am curious if any of them have been implemented into the core system.

Hi Ben,

the most of this things you have enumerated are comming up nearly.
Have a look: http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13742

* Better user administration
* Usergroup based permissions
o read/write/view
o grant access to content in frontend/backend
o which modules can be access
* better frontend login
* frontend user administration/profile
* frontend user registration
* workflow: write/edit & publish & archive
* blog module for phpwcms
* global comments for article without need to add content part
* general module to see/edit all comments

List of tasks are just draft and as always will/can be enhanced!

But never we will see a "Live update or auto-patching system". In my eys thats an very dangerous feature. I hope this is a fallacious statement from me in future for tl. ....... (No control, custom modules, server patches ....)

- Accordions: For me thats only a fashion. For some particular cases it´s ok, but in most uses I can´t see a advantage. (I have had a look to your own site and ..... the old layout without accordions was the better one for me).
- Lightbox is running.
- Calender modul is under development
- Simple Frontend-Login is running (More is still under dev.)
- Forum: I don´t know, but there is a blog planed. (For me a simple forum would be the better application).

- CP pagination implemented
- Banner modul implemented
- Glossary modul implemended
- Teaser CP implemented
- CP Guestbook with pictures implemented
- CP FAQ implemented
- Very powerfull navigation UL LI implemented

- The most CPs have there own selectable template

- And some more things which makes the handling a little bit easier.

Hey there, John. I haven't forgotten you all ... I've just been spending a lot of my time elsewhere these days.

How are things for you all?
