janus-boye

PALO ALTO, Calif. — April 7, 2010 — Ephox, a leading provider of software for improving web content management (WCM), today announced a new integration with EPiServer, the world’s fastest growing provider of WCM, online community and e-commerce platforms. The new integration of Ephox EditLive! with EPiServer CMS will bring rich, intuitive online authoring capabilities to EPiServer customers, enhancing business user productivity and improving web site quality.
“This integration provides great features to professional and occasional editors who use EPiServer CMS,” said Allan Thraen, senior solution architect for EPiServer. “Editors at all levels have come to expect desktop-like functionality when editing web content. EditLive!, which we view as one of the best WYSIWYG editors in the market, is a perfect fit with a familiar feel, nice usability and an excellent accessibility checker.”
The latest version of EditLive! includes several features that enable content creators to work together more efficiently and effectively. Templating functionality gives content administrators the ability to create reusable content templates for consistent web site styles and standards that can be employed by business users. For improved collaboration, context-based commenting capabilities enable users to comment directly on any text or object in an online document, and track conversations related to specific comments. As the only web-based editor that supports Autosave, EditLive! preserves content even if the web browser crashes or the server session times out. Additional features include broken hyperlink reporting, Auto-Correct, the ability to import Word documents, and Thesaurus.
“Through the use of its guiding principle, ‘power through simplicity,’ EPiServer has been helping its customers create unique and engaging websites. Our Rich Text Editor, EditLive!, was created on similar principles,” said Andrew Roberts, CEO of Ephox. “Now, businesses can take advantage of the power of the EPiServer CMS, while enabling their non-technical users to easily and quickly create compelling web content. This integration provides the best of both worlds.”
Availability
EditLive! for EPiServer is available immediately and can be downloaded at http://editlive.com/episerver.

From the release announcement: As a business miggle.co.uk is fully committed to using and supporting open source software wherever it can.  We believe open source solutions, when implemented effectively, offer customers and users the best possible options in terms of balancing unique requirements, with leveraged R&amp;D, in an environment where BCP (business continuity planning) issues are largely taken care of.  It would be counter to our believe in that approach to continue to keep our CMS, <a href="http://miggle.co.uk/open-source-cms/">miggleCMS</a>, as a proprietary tool.  Nor would doing so be in the best interests of the BCP requirements of our clients who use it.
The world does not need another content management system (CMS).  I truly believe that.  But, like many web businesses we found ourselves in a position three years ago where it made sense for us to have our own CMS to provide a solution to small businesses, which we didn’t feel we could easily or efficiently achieve with what was available at the time, to the flexibility we wanted.  Three years on, we’ve now used miggleCMS on over 30 sites, from simple brochure ware sites, to e-commerce solutions with stock control.
No single CMS will ever fulfil the needs of all web requirements.  It’s often a case, when choosing a potential CMS, of looking at product requirements, distinguishing between ‘must haves’ and ‘nice to haves’ and making the appropriate trade-offs if required.  Because of this, we don’t think there’s any more developments we need to make right now to miggleCMS, because to do so, in our opinion, would put us on a path where basically we would be starting to re-write Joomla.  Which is pointless.  At that point, we’d be better off just using Joomla.  But by opening miggleCMS up as an open source product, our opinion on that becomes just one opinion.  Others may look at our code and think there are areas in which it could be improved or developed on.  Maybe add an Ajax front end, maybe a deeper depth of categorisations, maybe the addition of payment provider support beyond Paypal?   Also, because pages can have modules attached to them, there’s scope for this to have additional functionality added without the need for a full re-write.  Modules could be written in the same sort of way plug-ins are for WordPress.  By throwing this over the fence, we leave it to the open source development community to decide.
The final reason we’ve done it is because miggleCMS has been a useful tool in helping small businesses, with 5-10 pages, get decent looking sites online cost effectively.  Now that as a business we’re moving away from that market, beyond providing existing clients with better BCP options, this CMS, like so many others, acts as a code base to which you just need to BYOD – Bring your own designer!
So, if you’ve not clicked through already, take a look at <a href="http://miggle.co.uk/open-source-cms/">miggleCMS</a>.

miggle.co.uk launch miggleCMS, their PHP/MySQL content management system under an open source license

Zyke CMS is a brand new and very basic CMS from development firm, Custom Dev. We grabbed a copy of their first version and ran through a quick test of the software to see what it was made of.
The install process is very straight forward and requires simply uploading the contents of the downloaded zip file to your server. This is a PHP/MySQL CMS by the way so ensure your host supports this prior to grabbing a copy.
Once you've uploaded the contents, visit http://www.yourdomain.com/install to kick off the installation.
Install consists of one screen:
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2021/07/zykecms-1_pfygkj.jpg" alt="zykecms-1" />
Simply enter your details and you are done. Then all that is required is to delete the install directory from the server (for security purposes).
You start with the most basic of sites:
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2021/07/zykecms-2-580x207_qljgmz.jpg" alt="zykecms-2" />
You can then access the admin section by appending /admin.php to your domain and you will see:
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2021/07/zykecms-3-580x304_nnsrvu.jpg" alt="zykecms-3" />
There's not much more to the system at the moment. Adjusting the main site details gives you a screen like this with very basic configuration options:

In December of 2009, Kentico released version 5 of their flagship content management system for Microsoft .NET. Kentico has long been heralded as an innovator in the CMS market and since our preview review (<a href="/kentico-the-cms-for-the-net-generation/">read it here</a>) we wanted to see what has changed.
<h3>So what's new in Kentico 5?</h3>
Optimizations
Optimizations to the way Kentico handles records in the database and preparations to make the CMS more enterprise-ready have been put in place. What does this mean? Well, to start with.. the CMS has already been optimized to work with 1,000,000 users and 100,000 documents in the database.
Batch Functions
One of the frustrations of previous versions was the inability to perform batch functions. Well, the developers listened, and now you can now easily copy, move, delete and publish multiple documents including all child documents.
SQL Server Replication
Kentico CMS can now use SQL Server Replication, meaning you are no longer limited to a single database but can copy your database over multiple SQL Servers to get higher performance and reliability from the system.
Improved UI Customization
With version 5.0, the administrator can enable/disable menu items or parts of dialogs to simplify the user experience and only show the features that the user really needs. It also allows you to personalize the WYSIWYG editor toolbar on an individual user basis.

Widgets (Web Parts)
Kentico 5 introduces widgets (or web parts) to the interface, allowing end users to add dynamic features, such as forms, polls, newsletter subscription and others to the widget zones defined by developer. Widgets can also be used on a personalized home page, similar to iGoogle.com which is useful if you build an intranet or community portal.
Improved Visual Design
The new release also brings with it a new design, which allows users to easily change the look of the system by simply replacing graphics with their own.

Active Directory Synchronization and Importing
A huge new feature for Kentico 5 is the introduction of the Active Directory import utility. This allows you to periodically synchronize users from Active Directory into Kentico CMS and is a very welcome change. With such a large number of corporations using AD, it's great to see this new utility make it's way into this latest release.

Kentico, as always, comes loaded with pretty much everything one can think of. It's fast, it's attractive and the learning curve is not as steep as some of it's competitors.
In a market where ease of use is almost always the number one priority for those considering implementing a new system, Kentico is poised in the top tier of systems.

Kentico Review: .NET at it's finest

<img title="wordpress" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2021/07/wordpress-logo_ksia8w.jpg" />Are you a fan of WordPress? Then you'll be thrilled to know there is a new beta of what will become WordPress 3.0 available.
You Should Know:
<ul>
<li>The custom menus system (Appearance &gt; Menus) is not quite finished. In Beta 2, the layout will be different and a bunch of the functionality will be improved, but we didn’t want to hold things up for this one screen. You can play with making custom menus, and report bugs if you find them, but this is not how the final screen will look/work, so don’t get attached to it.</li>
<li>The merge! Yes, WordPress and WordPress MU have merged. This does not mean that you can suddenly start adding a bunch of new blogs from within your regular WordPress Dashboard. If you’re interested in testing the Super Admin stuff associated with multiple sites, you’ll need <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Andrea/Create_A_Network">some simple directions</a> to get started.</li>
<li>We’re still fiddling with a few small things in the UI, as we were focused on getting the more function-oriented code finished first. For example, we’re getting a new icon for the Super Admin section.</li>
</ul>
Things to test:
<ul>
<li>Play with the new default theme, Twenty Ten, including the custom background and header options.</li>
<li>Custom Post Type functionality has been beefed up. It’s <a href="http://kovshenin.com/archives/custom-post-types-in-wordpress-3-0/">really easy</a> to add new types, so do that and see how it looks!</li>
<li>WordPress MU users should test the multiple sites functionality to make sure nothing broke during the merge.</li>
</ul>

<img style="max-width:150px" title="galleries" src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2021/07/galleries-150x150_tr5hds.jpg" />Omnium Software, an emerging network provider in the Web2.0 scene, launches its unique software geared towards online collaborative creativity for e-learning, social and business needs ñ with all profits going towards assisting and aiding communities in need.

Omnium launches new software for online collaborative creativity

concrete CMS was commercial software that went open source in late 2008, quickly winning project of the month on SourceForge and much attention from a community of open source fans used to dealing with painful user experiences and scattered code. During the last year the core team behind concrete5 has been flushing out features in their CMS, along with building an active community and marketplace at <a href="http://concrete5.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">concrete5.org</a>. Now with the release of version 5.4 concrete5 has really hit its stride and the core team expects continued great growth this summer.
concrete5 powers over 35,000 websites today, with a developer community some 18,000 members strong. “We've grown very quickly since going open source,” says CTO Andrew Embler. “The core application has always been very stable, but in the past we knew there were a few areas we wanted to clean up. With the sitemap improvements and even faster AJAX editing in 5.4 we've really covered the big items on my radar. “
Some architectural changes to better support the needs of enterprise level clients have already allowed some larger organizations to choose concrete5 over Drupal, Joomla!, and WordPress. The additional changes to fully embrace the Zend framework by using Zend Cache and Zend Translate has proven well worth the investment.
“It was great fun showing off the release candidate of 5.4 at SXSW:Interactive this year,' says Franz Maruna, CEO. “We met a lot of Joomla! and Drupal developers who begrudgingly gave us 5 minutes to see the competition, only to walk away 20 minutes later lamenting about time they'd wasted on other systems. I think we showed quite a few people that you can build big powerful sites with concrete5 that really are easy to use.”

Revo really is a platform on which you can build a robust, mission-critical website. Our upcoming user conference, Partner Program and Commercial Support offerings will further enhance the MODx ecosystem and demonstrate our level of commitment to the MODx platform.”
