Mapix CMS 0.6 in progress

Mapix CMS is a new, lite and full XML CMS. The back office itself is handled by Mapix CMS : Mapix CMS is the first meta-CMS !

Mapix CMS actual version (0.5.5) is functional but does not provide an interface for "non-coders" : XML contents and the XML sitemap (mapix.xml) can only be edited using an online text editor. This requires to know how XML works and the defined XML schemas. (such as mapix.xsd or content.xsd)

I am currently implementing a generic XML editor : a HTML form is generated from the XML file, that allows to simply and quickly edit any XML file without knowing anything about XML or any particular schema.

In the same time, I am integrating several javascript and ajax functions to the folder editor, so that it will be as near as possible from a desktop user interface.

Mapix CMS 0.6 back office will be really different from the previous ones. I want it to be full-featured and lite-coded and that unfortunately takes me a lot of time...

So that's the reason why you didn't get your monthly release ! Mapix CMS 0.6 (or later) will certainly be released before the end of the year. Let's say this will be your christmas present, I hope you will enjoy it ;)

If you can't wait opening your present, you can test and look how this new version will look like, in the CVS : Go to Code > CVS Browse, or use a CVS client to checkout this new version.

If you are even more impatient and want to get Mapix CMS 0.6 full-featured faster, then just contact me to get part of the project and help me developping Mapix CMS : This would be MY christmas present ;)

Thank you for your patience and see you soon for the next release.
