It's been a long time, but today I'm happy to announce the release of pecio 2.0.5 which comes with some nice new features and improvements:

• hierarchial menupoint order in the administration
• file/directory-permission check before and after the installation
• filemanager accessible outside of the editor
• new default height for the editor
• updated to the latest CKEditor (version 3.3.1)
• email notification option for new comments on blog posts
• "disable comments"-option for single posts
• "blog on start"-option is now also accessible via the blogposts area
• template chooser for articles is back again :)
• little bug fix in slug generation
• further code documentation
• perhaps some more little things I don't remember

I'm sorry that you had to wait so long for this release but there are a lot of other projects I'm working on, that's sometimes a bit difficult to coordinate ;) However I hope you feel comfortable with all those new features and improvements!

There are also two new Plugins that you can download:

• PHP Code - for inclusion of php code into articles/posts/texts
  • please note that it's a bit tricky to use this inside the CKEditor. But if you're turning into the "Source" mode of the editor, everything should be fine
• Pecio URLs - can be used to insert urls of articles/posts/categories/etc. into your content

The administration area of the contact form plugin has a little issue with the stylesheet at the moment, but I think I'll fix that soon.

Please also note that, if you are updating from a previous version of pecio, this version will make changes to pecio's database table layout, so do not forget to backup your database and your pecio installation! To make the update you just have to follow the update guide.

I hope that I can set up a wiki with some tutorials for template and plugin development etc. very soon. Some more templates are also planned.

I'm happy to release pecio 2.0.1. Approximately one month ago I released the first version - 2.0 - but since then many modifications have been done on pecio. This includes bug fixes, improvements and new features.

These features and/or improvements are new in version 2.0.1:

• More possibilities for plugins to integrate into the system. But there is still work do be done for the future.
• Automatic installation of plugins which need one.
• Update system which automatically detects if the installed version is newer or older than the uploaded files.
• RSS-Feeds for the whole blog, the categories and the tags.
• Some kind of an overview on the start screen after logging in. There will be more work on this in the future. Any ideas what else I can put on that start screen?
• Some bug fixes

I have also worked on code documentation (finished the first folder and all its files). The file header (license, version, etc.) is included in all files.

There now is an installation guide. If any errors occur, just contact me.

Overall I hope I'm able to give you a simple but great content management system

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.
