CMS Made Simple 1.1rc2 Released!
May 22nd, 2007 by Ted KulpUPDATE: rc2 was released because of stupidity on my part. Menu Manager and Search would not install properly with rc1, and was fixed. Thanks!!!
Hey all,
New release candidate is up. The plan is to have this up roughly a week. If no major bugs are found, then we’ll release it as a full version. If any minor bugs come in, we’ll fix and continue with the schedule. We’re not planning another rc unless multiple major bugs show up, which we’re hoping doesn’t happen.
Please test away and report any bugs in the tracker or irc channel.
The changelog follows below…
Thanks!

Great! Looking forward to this.
First problem: Menu Manager and Search say the minimum required version is 1.1; I’ve changed this setting in each file, but might be worth mentioning…

A brand new funky release, always a pleasure Ted, a few slips I’ve picked up so far…
1. No TinyMCE in Modules? So I can’t test the editor problems I’ve raised bugs for, from the SVN version. Looking in SVN it appears to be the same version I have, in which case I guess the bugs still apply?
2. In Admin , Extensions/Modules/…
a. MenuManager Minimum CMSMS Version Required: 1.1
b. Search Minimum CMSMS Version Required: 1.1
Solution: function MinimumCMSVersion() ???

I just installed RC1 , the whole menu was gone, but i`m gonna try RC 2 now.

Ted, the new default editor (TinyMCE) still seems to be missing. It currently has no editor? Even in rc2?
This can’t be right can it. Someone else has logged a bug for this.

Just wanted to say great work guys, but please don’t forget supporting SAFE_MODE.
it is the only decent way to prevent future php hacks.
i got lots of friends in hosting business and those without SAFE_MODE ON were all hacked long time ago.
having a content management system that doesn’t fully support this mode is NOT a way to go.

Why does a site which calls itself “CMS made simple” have such a complicated opening page with not the slightest hint at how to set up the “simple site” from scratch anywhere?
advice please
Kind regards

Thanks all for your work! Another great release!

Did you try under documentation??
Here there is a user, designer and developer section…
In User you’ll find the Getting Started chapter

The cms_modules_seach_index table in MYSQL database containing each single word in conent as an indepent record. It makes the database too big. Hope the seach module can be improved in new release.

I have to say CMSMade simple just gets better and better. some html knowledge is always a good thing. As a designer i think you really can’t make it any simpler for people to build a content managed system. The user interface that is presented in the admin area is intuitive enough for most users.
i do believe that some templates could be made available if people are willing to submit them. I guess its time that is the issue.
many thanks for a great product.

Looks promising but a few off putting errors on default install:
- Warning: WARNING: Search is not properly cleaning input params. in …\cmsmadesimple-1.1rc2\lib\classes\class.module.inc.php on line 1500
- Numerous Javascript alerts (document contains no data) generated by Apache when navigating links in the front end
Testing on XAMPP (PHP Version 5.0.5, MySQL 5.0.15, Apache/2.0.55 (Win32))

Reorder Pages - wrong starting posisitions of Current Pages
Great Tool - Greetz Uli

Warning: WARNING: Search is not properly cleaning input params. in /var/www-warensicht/warensicht/lib/classes/class.module.inc.php on line 1500
comes after a new installation of cmsms rc2 ?!

@Karlos: This is intentional for the rc period to flesh out any modules that aren’t following some of the new rules. The message will be removed in the final release.

Dear Ted & Team,
Waiting for 1.1 full release to start a non-profit project.
Originally you posted “About A Week” for RC2.
Any Idea when the full might be ready?

@Jim: We have to do a quick rc3 to flesh out a few remaining issues. That will most likely be tonight. That will be out in the wild for a short period… maybe 3 or 4 days. Then we’ll do 1.1. Sorry for the delay.
June 16th, 2007 at 9:57 am
Any updates on rc3? Still not out yet…
June 17th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Hi,
No pressure but any news on a final release of 1.1? (or where I can download rc3?)
Thanks.
June 18th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
Sorry, we keep getting delayed. After I included TinyMCE, I realized that the download was just HUGE. So we want back to the drawing board to create 2 tinymce versions so that we can keep the download to a decent size.

Hi all!
Very interesting information! Thanks!
