AdaptCMS 2.0 - January 31st
Posted: February 01, 2010 - 10:45 pm (Blog)
With the recent significant work
done on the Alpha build of AdaptCMS 2.0, I figured it was time for a
blog on the progress. Overall the status of the script is good, but an actual release - let
alone beta release is still a ways off. The ACP and basic frontend
features are nearing completion - but new features, refinement, new
design and then the new adaptcms.com/insanevisions.com websites. But in the near term the basics of most of the features should be
wrapped up soon - next will be new features as well as starting on some
of the insanevisions/adaptcms new websites. I'll be getting designs
pretty soon. Anyways, onto the blog.
AdaptCMS 2.0 Mini-Update #1
Posted: December 06, 2009 - 11:35 pm (News)
Just a brief update on the progress of AdaptCMS 2.0, a new blog with more features discussed will go up this week. Onto the update:
"Since the last update there's been a
good amount of progress - some basic modules are done such as - Users,
Groups, Levels, Content, Sections, Fields. Now it may sound like the
script is getting close to completion but it isn't. Just those modules
are only partially done - basically functioning and with the new SQL
structure but new features aren't implemented yet, I want to get the
whole basic cp done and then go from there.
I'm hoping to soon have the basic admin modules done - Comments,
Files/Media, Pages, Polls, Settings, Skins. That doesn't include things
like the support area which will be worked on in conjunction with
improving the AdaptCMS v1 code and implementing new features. The
frontend itself won't even be started for a little while. Anyway that about wraps it up. I will have a demo of 2.0 up sometime this week." From - CharliePage88.com
AdaptCMS 1.5 Release - Afterthoughts
Posted: July 17, 2009 - 1:12 am (News)
With the release of AdaptCMS 1.5 (linky),
attention now goes to a future 2.0 version of the CMS. That version
will not be out for quite some times, numerous months. The reason being
that the script will be completely revamped and in some areas -
re-written. As well it will be sporting a completely new look. As with all versions, the brainstorming is beginning already -
although it will be much longer than normal. Once some ideas on what
the admin area and frontend will look like are done - the design work
can be started up in the meantime of even more brainstorming and
planning.
AdaptCMS 1.5 Released
Posted: July 05, 2009 - 3:51 pm (News)
Insane Visions has announced the release of AdaptCMS Lite 1.5 and AdaptCMS Pro 1.5, both available to download/purchase!
AdaptCMS 1.5 is largely a minor version, as it comes inbetween 1.4 and the major version, AdaptCMS
2.0. Although minor, this version is more than a few bug fixes - there
are numerous new features. The biggest new feature is tagging and
"Quick Edit". With tagging you can take advantage of such Web 2.0
features as a "Tag Cloud" and also help visitors search easier. A very
useful "Quick Edit" feature has also been added, letting staff/admins
quickly edit articles from thefrontend of the site.
With AdaptCMS you can manage any type
of content website with an advanced sections feature, custom fields,
easily editable templates, an advanced permissions area and more that
makes AdaptCMS adaptable to any website.
AdaptCMS 1.5 is the last version until the big 2.0. There may be a minor version (1.5.1), but only if there are numerous bugs found.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AdaptCMS 1.5 Releasing shortly, 2.0 work begins
Posted: July 01, 2009 - 10:43 pm (News)
Updates haven't been occurring for a while, but the good news is that AdaptCMS 1.5 will be releasing soon. Despite what I expected, the beta and final version will be very similar. This will mean several features won't appear until 2.0 (unless they're cut), the good news being a final version of the script will be out shortly. Since I'll be on "kind of" a vacation nextFriday/Saturday, I'm shooting for a release between this Friday-Sunday.
In another news, but still AdaptCMS related, work has VERY slowly started on the big 2.0 version. By work I mean brainstorming and it will continue to be brainstorming for a little while, actual work may not even begin until later July. Part of the reason is I'll be spending a good amount of money on a re-design of AdaptCMS. This includes a new admin skin, frontend skin and new AdaptCMS.com.
Before the release of 2.0 (a ways to go) a new version and look of this site will go up too, but as said, that's a ways to go. Once 1.5 is released a lot of brainstorming will be done on 2.0, as it will be the biggest release since the first version.
Stay tuned this weekend for the very likely release of AdaptCMS 1.5.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AdaptCMS 1.4 - New Details
Posted: January 01, 2009 - 11:41 pm (News)
Although the hopeful beta release of AdaptCMS 1.4 has been passed, the good news is that it will be out this weekend. Among the changes mentioned previously, two of the biggest additions help make AdaptCMS more adaptable then ever before.
One aspect that I've wanted in for quite a while, global custom fields, finally are now a reality. On the frontpage template (homepage_content), say you want to show an icon as you have a field added for it - no problem. But even more useful, say you have a gaming website and on the review list you want to edit the template (content_list) to show the system the review is for or even the score - no problem.
The usefulness of global custom fields helps make AdaptCMS adaptable to more and more websites as well as making it less and less needed to do custom coding in order to get something to work. You can even use related fields! (for example, a game related to a review...you could display the game summary with a review related to it - continue for the 2nd addition)
