CMSMS | CMS Made Simple

It’s that time of year again. In order to fund some of the developers travel to Geek Moot 2009, we’re going to require a bit of supplemental income. We’re looking to fund 2 developers coming over from North America as well as the remainder of the deposit for the event space.

As with the last 2 years, we’re going to open up for help from the community. The goal this year is kind of big, but I’m hopeful that we can pull it off.

We’re looking to raise $2,000 by August 10th. This will be for 2 plane tickets, some travel expenses and the remainder (about $600) going to the event space. Donators will be added to this post on a daily basis and moved over to the donations list on the main site. We will, of course, keep a running tally of donations and give a big congrats if and when the goal is reached.

Furthermore, the largest donation will get a free banner ad on our sites for 2 months. This is, of course, if they have something to advertise. If not, then we’ll try and come up with something else to show our thanks.

I think we can pull this off. Prove me right, folks!

Thanks!
Ted

Update:
Thanks to everyone. We turned it into a month of donations and it was a huge success! I’ll contact Mirren soon and see everyone who’s coming to Geek Moot in a few weeks.

The latest and greatest release of your favorite content management system… CMSMS version 1.6.1 “Canala” is ready to roll. This is a bugfix only release.

Again, the members of the development team have donated many hours to testing, fixing, and re-testing the package, to make sure that what we fix, is infact fixed, and everybody should give a big thanks to them.

We’ve fixed the known outstanding php4 issues (thank god we won’t have to worry about php4 when 1.7 comes out), and a few issues with permissions, and email addresses, etc.

Important: we have fixed a longstanding problem with having multiple module calls within the default. content area. The fix to this was essentially to dramatically change the ‘module id’ mechanism from a simple count, to a unique hash for each module call. Therefore any of you that are doing styling, or funky smarty tricks relying on specific module id’s like m6_ or m7_ will have upgrade problems. There was no way around it.

Hopefully this will be the last release in the 1.6 series, and we can move forward with development on CMSMS 1.7, which will be a php5 only release.

Note: Just to remind everybody out there… as of this release, we can only support CMSMS 1.6, and 1.6.1… therefore please refrain from asking questions or reporting bugs until you’ve successfully upgraded.

Here’s a more detailed list of what’s changed:

- Fixes of several bugs:
– #3138 A bug of counting modules in page
—
Note: This bugfix WILL break any sites that use incorrectly hacked templates with
hardcoded module id’s like m6 and m7, etc.

– #3582 (CMS 1.6) Fatal Error in contentoperations.inc.php

– #3601 Creating new user fails, doesn’t accept “-” in email address
– #3606 Cannot remove additional editors from page
– #3608 Edit icon of pages is shown even if no permissions to edit that page
– #3612 {content} passes params to Module -> results in errormessage
– #3626 Fixes issue with php 4.x in multicontent
– #3636 Global Settings -> Advanced Setup -> Basic Properties
– #3768 Email validation when add user
– #3680 Big problem with group permissions
