My PHP Content Management System So Far

I have regrettably not been giving as much time to my blog as I would like just lately. Writing for tutorialblog.org, working full time as well as working on other private projects has taken all the spare time out of my life.

Content Manager

Most of my time at the moment when im not doing any of the above has been consumed in the latest project I am working on, its called Content Manager no prizes for guessing what it might be. Im rather proud of how its coming along, however its far from ready, when it is, im hoping to give it an open source release.

The basic Idea is to have a content management system which enables designers to focus on the design, knowing that a suitable back end which will be easy to skin, can be offered to clients.

Features

The content manager will feature statistics of web views, along with links to google analytics, web master tools and so on. There will also be full ecommerce support designed to be integrated with either Google checkout or Paypal. The products will allow you to create new product ranges, upload photos, create thumbnails as well as having full control over edit and delete options.

The primary feature of the content manager will be its ability to allow the owner of a website to quickly and easily update content and subversion old content. As well as all this the administrator will be able to create new users with access rights and be able to quickly and easily configure the websites settings.

The key focus to this project its the usability of the platform, which us being built using a database driven PHP code base, which im writing in OOP, I have chosen not to use a PHP framework, but am using the jQuery to manage front end scripting.

I hope to have more to show soon, so be sure to check back for more details.
