ReOpen after a long time is gone. My new Project is calling spooXe and is a Alpha Version from ciamos CMS what was build from old e-xoops team in i think 2003. They stopped development in 2005. I had some mail contact in end of 2007 with Bob Janes aka greyhead (at ciamaos.com) and asked for
developing the project under GPL and the new name spooXe. And he wished me a lot of fun with it. Thank you Bob. So i am the offical new leader of the project spooXe / ciamos.
What is Ciamos:
Ciamos is an Extensible Content Management System based on the popular E-Xoops CMS. Ciamos is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database (but it is part of the roadmap to expand the database usage with a database abstraction layer). Is is designed to be robust, effective and simple to use. Ciamos is intended for personal or organisational use where the priority is to get content presented simply and quickly.
The Members in the old ciamos Team:
alphalogic, GreyHead, Code, Kain, Linuxdude, macdiu, r3g-ik, vi0lat0r, HotRoad, EmilSedgh, and Bitmap.
The Members in the new spooXe Team:
frank aka vision (from e-xoops.com, eXV2.org), Philippe (from e-xoops france,) and Ralph (Sys Architect)
The History:
On time i will not talk more about the history and the people. Maybe later.
What are the goals in spooXe:
Code and Classes They where good renamed and coded.
W3C XHTML The output is W3C XHTML and created from systemplate class. This class is a XSL / XSLT like Parser and brings the system more to the MVC architectural design pattern view.
Ajax I use the YUI Library to give the CMS Ajax functionality.
Changed Topics All topics where in one place in Sysadmin.
Database DB Layer abstraction: Not only MySQL is available, pgSQL or other can be used in future.
Backup Included backup function for the whole database
Secure A new secure upload class for images.
Thumbnailer A new thumbnailer class. Thumbs will be created in a given sized frame. Some thumbs are here to see:
The thumbnailer Class use the YUI Connection Manager, JSON Utility and YUI Event Utility & Custom Event. Fast to sort and to delete with a mouse click and without reloading the whole site.
Session A session class extension. The relation between php session and session class works better and u can use the session data in all formulars / Inputs after relogin or in previews, except php session is destroyed in the Garbage Collection from php.
Structure Clear and small structure. Only 1684 files and 378 folders.
Documentation I have a lot of documents (flowcharts and UML Grafiks) describing the system and a lot of tutorials to understand the CMS.
Modules A lot of included modules. This are articles, banners, contact, downloads, faq, forum,headlines, language, links, news, partners, phpRPC, pms, poll, system and users.
