The development team behind Subrion CMS – <a href="http://www.intelliants.com/">Intelliants</a>, have recently announced a major update for their flagship content management system, calling it Subrion CMS 3.
<a href="http://www.subrion.com/">Subrion</a> is an open-source PHP content management system which has always aimed to be as comprehensive as possible in terms of functionality, whilst holding true to it's user-friendly ethos.
Key features such as full source editing, per-page permissions and extensive plugin options have always been part of the platform, but now with a host of improvements recently launched along with Subrion CMS 3, users are in for a far more powerful Subrion experience. Let's explore how.
<h2>Enhanced Admin Dashboard, Plugin Installation &amp; Fields Management</h2>
The most obvious improvement introduced by Subrion CMS 3, is the enhanced admin dashboard. The core version comes in a selection of 5 different colours by default, making it easy to customize your experience right out of the box.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/1-1700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS 3" />
The brand new dashboard, along with its 5 bundled colours, is extremely easy on the eyes, and even simpler to use, thanks to bold menus and logically grouped tools and features which makes managing content a breeze.
This new user interface is sleek and organized, allowing you to access different areas of your Subrion admin panel with ease, whilst also displaying key content such as Twitter news and recent activity via the main dashboard.
Subrion CMS 3's admin dashboard is also fully responsive, so it can be viewed via tablets and smartphones, allowing you can manage your content easily – anywhere you go.  To help achieve this flexibly responsive function, Subrion have utilized the de-factor standard Twitter Bootstrap 3, and the latest version of Sencha JS.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/2-1700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS 3" />
Subrion CMS 3 also brings about remote plugin installation, which scraps the need for manual downloading and uploading of plugins via FTP.
Instead, a simple three-step process is all you need to worry about. Once you navigate over to the Plugins page on your admin panel, you can select the Remote Mode filter for your available plugins, and then click install. It's that easy.

You can also look forward to improved fields management features for item listings. Whether the fields relate to members, auto listing, real estate listing, coupons, or anything else, you can easily extend your listings with the additional fields.
Fields can be created in many different forms, including, text field, WYSIWYG, checkboxes, radios, pictures, attachments, and much more.
The best part is, there is no need to make any PHP/HTML changes, as you can have complete control over your fields right from the admin panel.
<h2>Built-In Blogging &amp; Professional Templates</h2>
With Subrion CMS 3 also comes bundled with a built-in blogging functionality, which means there is no need to combine Subrion with any other blogging platform or content management system in order to create a blog.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/4-1700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS 3" />
The latest version of Subrion also introduces a new <a href="http://codex.intelliants.com/iabootstrap/">iaBootstrap template framework</a>, which is based on Twitter Bootstrap 2. The framework simplifies new template development for Subrion CMS, providing all templates with a responsive nature.
Subrion have made use of a Smarty based template engine, which is extremely easy to use, and allows the separation of software logic and presentation.

Subrion CMS 3: Now More Powerful & Flexible Than Ever Before

Ever since the <a href="/subrion-cms-3-now-more-powerful-flexible-than-ever-before/" target="_blank">release of version 3</a> back in 2013, the <a href="http://www.subrion.com/" target="_blank">Subrion CMS</a> has steadily improved. Now, a new set of enhancements have arrived to further polish the platform.
Developed by <a href="http://www.intelliants.com/" target="_blank">Intelliants</a>, Subrion CMS is an open-source content management system with a beautiful user interface and a range of scripts to help users quickly build niche website types, like directory websites, coupon websites, and so forth.
Subrion's latest improvements come in a set of four, Let's take a look at each.
<h2>New Visual Mode &amp; Enhanced Permissions</h2>
1. Visual Mode Improved 
 
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/subrion320_presentation_visual700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS" /> 
Users can now make use of the tried and tested drag-and-drop system to configure content blocks in different positions. You can visualize them using different predefined positions before switching everything around with ease.
According to Subrion though, the most important part of this feature is the ability to disable/enable positions for specific pages. Let's say you don't want a sidebar on a specific page. All you need to do is open Visual Mode and go to said page, click “Edit” and then disable the sidebar for that page specifically. The same can be done for all content block types.
2. Enhanced Permissions System 
 
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/subrion320_presentation_permissions_edit700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS" />
Subrion users can now easily configure permissions for usergroups and individual members. Permissions can be given to allow access to the admin panel, and setup ACL for both frontend &amp; admin dashboards. Custom permissions can be added too, using plugins &amp; packages.
Administrators can quickly find out which members have which permissions, filter them, and edit them. Plus, different parts of the website can be configured for different usergroups. For example: specific blocks can be only configured for members or guests.
Finally, administrators can configure advertising blocks to be displayed to guests only.
<h2>Improved Sponsored Plans &amp; New Templates</h2>
3. Sponsored Plan Improvements 
 
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/subrion320_presentation_plans700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS" />A new recurring billing system allows to view / create  / manage subscriptions via paypal and other payment gateways.
Administrators can configure sponsored plans for members and setup paid memberships quickly and easily. Also, the system automatically handles invoices and re-sends necessary emails when requested by the member in question.
4. New Templates 
 
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/subrion320_presentation_templates700x0.png" alt="Subrion CMS" />
