I realized with all this AdaptCMS 2.0 talk for some time now I should update with AdaptBB as well. Part of the reason besides the fact that 100% of my effort is going into AdaptCMS right now, there are some upcoming insanevisions.com features I may put into the next version of AdaptBB - AdaptBB 1.1.

Brainstorming (the first process) will finally begin soon and a blog should be up by the end of the month updating on the progress. Just a small heads up that AdaptBB is not dead and infact has quite a future!

With some new features being worked on, in AdaptCMS 2.0, we've uploaded some shots which you can checkout at the below page:

There are 4 pictures up now with a lot more coming by the time you see this post. Be sure to keep an eye on that page along with InsaneVisions.com/AdaptCMS.com with more information upcoming.

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.

Since the last update more of the background stuff has been done, but that'll change with the upcoming work. Work will begin on the frontend with some of the basics being done and frontend features implemented and then it'll go back to the ACP with work on the "Share" features and some more advanced features, along with the skinning of the ACP into templates.

Thus far a lot of the work has been of the basic modules and not the new features which will change with the basics of the frontend done. As well, the idea of "re-doing" adaptCMS hasn't been a focus yet as a lot of the code is good - but 2.0 will have a lot of significant differences from 1.0, that's for sure.

Stay tuned for more frequent updates.

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.

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.
