Hi Guys,
Well it seems as if everyone wants a good solution for CMS for xcart. Please post what you need or would like to see in this release and i will try and build it.
So far I have built:
- Create / Edit Static Pages
New Intergration of HTMLAREA 3.0 (May replace with SPAW HTML Editor)
Upload Images Files
Edit CSS
Edit PHP
Edit Template
Rename / Delete / View Files
Mime Support for 30 File Types
Download files to your Hard Drive for offline editing
Easy Configuration
Ability to drop into any version of X-Cart (as it is a seperate program and not directly intergrated)
Ability to edit any website (Non X-Cart Sites)
Compatable with HTML CATALOG!
Reference Lists for Smarty, PHP, MYSQL (for other geeks like me)
Development Reference Docs
Still in progress:
- Instant Template Creation
Rotating Content Groups
PHPMyAdmin Intergration
PHP Code Genie 1.4 (for quick PHP / MySQL code generation)
PHP Data Validation Libraries (More geek stuff for advanced programmers)
X-Cart Website Generation (using the X-Cart framework and Smarty)
Non X-Cart Website Generation (For those who use this without X-Cart Framework and Smarty)
Add On Modules (You can code your own using premade templates)
Block Manager (Kind of like PHP-Nukes Blocks)
Choice of 2 Column or 3 Column Website (or you can create your own template)
Different Admin Levels (May or may not add this depending on demand)
Customizable headers / footers
I looked at that SEO Template system and I agree, that damned thing is nasty looking (not biased here!). I am also not sure just how much control if will give you over pages inside X-Cart. I wonder if anyone has tried it yet?
Anyway I am working on this in my spare time and I plan to use this as my future site manager as its customized with everything I need and my clients need to maintain thier own sites. It will allow for easy modification of sites. I am making this for X-Cart and Non X-Cart sites as my partner in crime (and wife) is not a programmer but would like a way to drop in some CMS system into exisitng sites and edit sites to her hearts content!
If I have missed anything obvious relating to X-Cart let me know!
