AdaptCMS Update

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:42:07 EST

It's been a while since the last update, with some progress on 2.0.2 but mainly have let 2.0.1 settle. Work has been started back up, there will be a slight delay with needing some initial brainstorming and the next version of AdaptCMS will be a minor update with a more major version coming soon after that.

As of now the most significant aspects of 2.0.2 is the phpBB integration and tagging. Even though tagging has been in the system, more importance will be put into it other than simply being a field you can use when adding content in the ACP. As well the social features of AdaptCMS will get some work, mainly in the bug fixing area but also some additions such as group images and an enhanced template.

Stay tuned for a blog to detail the changes/additions in the next version.

AdaptCMS 2.0.1 Released

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 02:38:50 EDT

Insane Visions is excited to announce the next release, AdaptCMS 2.0.1 now available for download.

Despite being a "minor version", this release still packs quite a bit more than we originally planned. The biggest part is a whole lot of bugs fixed, from the mod_rewrite to the plugins being fixed and in many other areas. Another part was the security was enhanced, not just improving it in the social area of the site but a newly implemented "SALT" method. This makes it extremely difficult for anyone to hack your website and gain entry as the salt password is randomly generated for each Adapt website and unless they gain access to your MySQL backend, they can't get password hashes. The third part is of course the features!

One new feature is the plugins feature was worked on and along with it is new plugins to 2.0 "Sitemap", "TinyURL" and "Affiliates". These let you generate a sitemap on your website automatically for search engines, tinyurl simply gives you short URL's for any link you wish and affiliates is a link manager of sorts, letting you keep a list of affiliates which you can also track traffic out. Administration for the Social feature of Adapt is also now in, letting staff manage user blogs as well as upload new avatars that can be used or delete ones users have uploaded.

There are also many minor features such as being able to select an author when managing content, now being able to leave comments on static pages, new main ACP page (matches version, shows latest news and notes), forgot password feature, two different date formats (june 9, 11 or 5 mins ago), timzone selector and much more.

With a short release period expect to see the next version, AdaptCMS 2.0.2, in the next month-month and a half.

AdaptCMS.com Tweaks

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 05:56:20 EDT

AdaptCMS 2.0.1 is currently being worked on but in the meantime we are currently working on the AdaptCMS.com website. The bigger changes aren't online yet, but some of the others include a site list page, updated demo page (now hosted on opensourcecms), a few misceleaneous fixes and changes as well as a finished support page which provides numerous areas to get support for AdaptCMS.

Whats upcoming is a new look homepage which instead of a news only type look, will take a more focused look highlighting certain things though the pages you see linked to, will remain.

The focus of the official AdaptCMS site used to be side by side with Insane Visions as the latest source and it is for official news but a re-focus as information for AdaptCMS with latest release news and tidbits of the script posted on Insane Visions.com will occur likely in the coming week. Stay tuned.
