Xitnalta Content Management System / News: Recent posts

The Xitnalta Content Management System (xcms) got a new version. This is the first time users can look at something else than only source code by trying it out with a simple program.

Please note that xcms is still (pre-)alpha software that is not very useful (but interesting) at the moment.

This snapshot should give a rough overview over the current development. It contains an ugly and strange bug in src/parser.c which I try to resolve through rewriting. Any help appreciated.

Xcms had a delay of one month because of an outage of SourceForge's services - and a delay of about two months because of the holydays and the re-installation of my http://linuxfromscratch.org/ system. I'm planning to release an xcms 0.3 version with filesystem support within the next few weeks, but it's possible that something (like school, tests at school, homework, ;-) ) breaks my plans again. Let's hope that's not the case.... read more

- XDAL-MySQL works fine and delivers all required xcms_cntstruct data to index.php
- pmal.inc (the Php-Mysql Access Library include file) is complete and now a part of xcms
- theme switching support added, built-in theme adopted for theme and language switching

I'll drop my development on the XDAL-dummy. I'd rather like to complete XDAL-MySQL with sensible documentation (= commenting) and work on more important things (like documentation and bug fixing).... read more

The current status of xcms is as follows: the built-in theme is almost finished and duplicated into a default theme, which will serve as a demonstration for standardized theme programming for xcms 1.0. The MySQL version of XDAL has a finished database design and now needs some work on its API to index.php. I think the administration is not so cruel if you use phpMyAdmin (o;.

With the release of xcms 0.2, the documentation will be the first example of a working xcms environment in use of the XDAL-MySQL library.... read more

Now you know a bit more about xcms - ie., I hope it ;o). By the way: I had an idea for an xcms logo. It should be online by the release of xcms 0.2. The docs are here: http://xcms.sourceforge.net/?sect=doc, and more information about releases can you find here: http://xcms.sourceforge.net/?sect=rmap.

Till Sunday, I have full 5 days of holidays. After that, I do my two-week practical training within a ISP. Because I have real freetime after work, I also have a bit more time for other things in these weeks. I hope to get xcms running in the next few months - but I can't promise anything. But xitnalta.com can't stay this way forever...

xcms goes online on Sourceforge.net. I'll upload all currently available project files on http://xcms.sourceforge.net/ as soon as I know how :O).
