The simple answer of that is that simple CMS is a CMS and WP is a blog software.

CMSMS is still working out the kinks for the blog part, it’s really a CMS, not a blogging tool.

I’m with Richard… why don’t you drink your own Kool-Aid? you’re using WP when you could use your own CMS? What gives?

Why are you using Wordpress for your blog, when you could use the CMS blog for your use?

Upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 trivially completed. The new admin feature of getting checksums for your web site (Site Admin -> System verification) works a dream and actually gets the checksums for the whole site including other subdirectories unrelated to CMS Made Simple (I have 25,000 files over 4000 folders on around 4 different CMS so quite a lot of places to hide). This is a very cool feature and saves me having to run diffs on my directory tree after I see odd looking traffic in Apache access logs. I use my web site to host experimental stuff for other CMS other than CMS Made Simple and on an hourly basis some idiot is trying SQL injections. It’s amazing when you backtrack and look at where they host the exploits they are injecting just how many compromised servers and accounts there are on the ‘net.

Just in case anybody else is having problems upgrading from an old version…

I upgraded to 1.4.1 from 1.2.4 and encountered 2 problems that were easily fixed once I worked out the cause:

1) Problem: When I tried to edit the css associations for a template I got an error message.
To fix I added assoc_order column to css_assoc as an int(11) with NULL = Yes and the error message went away.
2) Problem: The CMS ‘internal linking’ button wasn’t appearing in the Tiny MCE editor. To fix I changed the value half way through in Toolbar 2 on the admin page Extentions > TinyMCE > Advanced from cmsmslink to cmslinker.

I did run the upgrade script successfully which took me from schema 29 to 31.

Thanks again for the nice job you are doing with this lovely system. I am very eager to see the v 2.0. But there seems to be one module that has not been working for quite a while: Page Blocks. It is a very needed function for me among others. I wonder if it will be fixed soon? Many threads regarding this subject is posted in the forum the last few days, so this is something that many people needs.

I am not sure where to post specific “inquries” like this, so I try here… hope it is not too disturbing.

After reading the documentation, managing not to be put off by the awful video “tutorials” I decided that CMSms could be the perfect solution to a couple of upcoming projects, only to find that none of the download links work! That does not fill me with confidence! Will it be possible to download anytime soon?
