Default Xcart CMS V2

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!
