Automatic plugin installation, new plugins and more...

Work on pecio goes on. In the last few days I have created an automatic plugin installation system which automatically installs plugins needing an installation. Further there now is an area in the administration interface where all your plugins are listed with description and some other meta data. You can uninstall and reinstall them there.
 

Another thing I was working on is the update system. If you upload a newer/older version, pecio automatically detects wether the installed version is newer or older than the uploaded one and displays a pursuant message. If the installed version is older you can update right from the login screen by typing the update password that was given to you after the installation.

 

I've also created some plugins:
 

  • Contactforms: Creating and managing contactforms that can be placed anywhere in the CMS.
  • Blog Category List: Lists all available blog categories.
  • Blog Tag List: Same as above, but for blog tags ;)
  • Tag Cloud: Creates a tag cloud. You can choose between linear and logarithmic calculation.
  • Canonical Link Element: Outputs a canonical link element in the HTML- area on pages which can be linked in different ways (e.g. index.php and index.php?target=home). More on this element here.


The current snapshot including all plugins can be found here. Remember that this unstable version may cause lots of errors.

Welcome to the new website for the totally new pecio cms!

Today, on christmas, I'm happy that I'm able to release pecio 2.0 which is completely rewritten, nearly completely object-oriented and much more flexible than the old one.

Here are some of the new features of this version:
 

  • Multiple articles and the blog can be assigned to the home page
  • Multiple categories and tags can be assigned to a blogpost
  • Subtitle, description and tags for the website (will be displayed as meta elements in the head-section of the template)
  • Three types of URLs: Default (using IDs) - Human (using Slugs) - Rewrite (using Slugs and Apache mod_rewrite)
  • Sidebartexts- and links can be assigned to more than one article
  • More divided user permissions
  • Localization is done using XML-files
  • New WYSIWYG-Editor: CKEditor instead of TinyMCE
  • New and more consistent admin area design, based nearly completely on CSS3 and using the great Frutiger font (» how to get this legally for free)


But at the moment it also still lacks a certain features of the old one:
 

  • RSS-Feed
  • Download Counter
  • DIfferent templates for each articles


All the old templates and plugins also still need to be rewritten for pecio 2.0. But all those missing features will be implemented in future releases. Some other new features are also in planning stage:
 

  • Ping- and Trackbacks
  • RSS-Feeds also for categories, tags and archives


If you have more features that you would like to see in future versions, just leave a comment!

 

Update:

I just forgot some things to mention:
 

  1. I've put CMS generated HTML Text (e.g. the menu, sidebar texts, ...) into template files, so that it's easier for you to change the layout of those elements.
  2. Plugins now have more possibilities to integrate into the system. So they inherit the PecAbstractPlugin Class which provides the database object, the session object, the settings object, the plugin's meta data and the current site view (such as article, blog, blogcategory, blogtag, blogarchive, ...). It also has the ability to give some data for the -Section of the website.
