CMS in PHP/MySQL

My content management system in PHP/MySQL is nearly complete as far as the basic features are concerned. However, I wouldn't consider it ready for a public beta release until it has been tested by a few people. So I'm not putting it up for public download at the moment, but if you're interested in testing it, please send me an e-mail and I'll send you the tarball with instructions on installing and using it.

Obviously it's not complete, so the commenting system is not yet in place. However, I've implemented a basic RSS feed for the system and it should work fine. Planned features include a simple search form and a link manager to manage external links in the sidebar.

Philosophy? It's meant to be a simple, single-user website management tool without all the extra features and complications of portal systems with multiple users and levels of hierarchies and permissions. The admin interface is fairly easy to use with most of the "static" configuration data stored in a PHP config file.

  1. sounds like bblog... :) a bit less complicated though. Pretty cool! I would be interested, if I had time. bummer. -man. I wish I had more time for fun linux/programming stuff. Is the interface written in php? or ...? sounds like something that could be VERY useful- if it became so darn easy to use that it was the default installed on all major hosting company's accounts. Maybe- being able to include html pages sitting in the file structure..I realize that I'm probably not coherently communicating, but that's because I'm not coherent at the moment. Before I say anything else stupid, I'm going to post...woah- brain not connected...

  2. Titanium_geek,Yes, it's not exactly a blogging system but it allows you to write articles within categories and also "static" pages. I've also finished the commenting system as of now although I've not made the admin interface to manage comments yet. (commenting also has a captcha feature which can be turned off or on. It will only work on PHP installations which have the JPEG creation module.)I've also implemented simple RSS feed for latest articles.It's very simple, no multi-layered architecture.If you wish, I can send you the tarball with installation instructions and you can test drive it. :) I'll also put up a demo site publicly once I get the admin interface for the commenting system ready.Features still planned are a simple search form and of course, a link manager. But the underlying philosophy is: simplicity.

  3. I've now on the admin interface for the comments and after that I'll probably do the simple search feature.
