Using FastCGI

I was struggling to understand the ‘No input file specified’ error I got when using ci-cms2 with FastCGI. In fact to reduce the number of Apache process in my server I opted to use Fcgi instead of mod_php. But then I got that error.

To fix it, here is what I did.

• in .htaccess file just add a "?" just after index.php (I found it here)
• Be sure to use AUTO in config.php (for $config['uri_protocol'])

CI-CMS2 will use Codeigniter 2

Now that Codeigniter 2 is out, we have started to update CI-CMS and will call it CI-CMS2. You can download test and report issue in the new repository https://bitbucket.org/hery/ci-cms
It is not yet a stable version so you are not advised to use it for your final product.

Guestbook module

Also released today a guestbook module. Very simple but might be needed.
BEFORE USING IT, please put the Captcha library in your libraries folder (or just update from SVN)

You can find the Captcha library in
http://ci-cms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/application/libraries/Captcha.php

Still more to come

Radiovazogasy.com using ci-cms

Another site using CI-CMS is now Radiovazogasy.com. Apart from bundled modules, it uses 2 private ones. One is to interact with our webradio and the other one is to integrate with my main username database serasera.org so that people don't need to register twice.

News now bundled

I addes the "news", "download" and "tag" modules inside the repository. Soon a new version will be tagged.

Feed module is done

This module tries to get latest content and publish them as RSS feed. For now, it only get latest page contents and news. If you create a module and want your module content to be integrated in the feed just output a list of arrays containing the elemets for the feed and pass it inside a filte called feed_content

for example:
In your example_plugin.php file

$this->add_filter('feed_content', 'example_feed_content');


function example_feed_content($data)
{

$contents = array(
                 array(
                      'title' => 'this is the first title',
                      'url' => 'http://this.site.com/first-title',
                      'date' => 12543540, //a UNIX format date
                      'body' => 'This should be the body of the first item'
                      ),
                 array(
                      'title' => 'title of the second item',
                      ...
                      ),
                 );

$this->plugin->add_filter()
)

return array_merge($data, $contents);

}

Tag is done

There are some few modules that are not bundled in the download. You can find them in the svn dev repository which is at http://ci-cms.googlecode.com/svn/dev
These are the modules that are completed up to now:
- download: File manager module (including categories etc)
- news: News module
- rss: To fetch rss content and show them on a site
- tags: To tag news and pages

Second alpha-release

Many changes have been implemented since the first alpha release. This is version 0.2.0.0, still doomed to change.

Some changes were applied to the database.

I'm also preparing for easy install and update.

Please use the SVN do show what changed...

Be careful: Runing the application.sql will reset your database. It will remove trunk all tables.

First alpha release

I've just released the very first public alpha release of CI-CMS It can be downloaded in the Project's site

http://code.google.com/p/ci-cms/downloads/list

fondazionebuonpastore.org - First site using ci-cms

The first dev site that uses CI-CMS is http://www.fondazionebuonpastore.org For this site I've got to add a very exclusive module called project.
It is still under construction...

Latest working example in SVN r52

The latest working example is now revision 52

Please download only what is marked here in the blog as working example.

Working example is out

A working example is just out but still in the subversion repository.
If you want to test it, then you have to check out the svn from
http://ci-cms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Cannot make a fully downloadable since it is not yet finished

Pre-release as a priority

I think, the priority now is to release something that can be downloaded... even if it is just a prerelease. To make an installable CI-CMS so that at least people can start using it.

Gettext problem

Gettext doesn't load when I put the locale files in each modules and load them at once in the Locale library. Even if I set the domains nothing shows up. So I had to put a unique locale file in app/locale for each language.

That is on rev. 25
