EternalCMS v0.5.1 Released

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment 

We just released EternalCMS v0.5.1 which includes several bug fixes for issues found in the EternalCMS v0.5 release.  EternalCMS v0.5 included 2 new major features: Web based Installation Script and an Admin Interface.  There was also some minor changes included in that release, which included: moved layout to grid based from table based, moved all inline CSS to external CSS file and modifying the text that was at the top of the ‘Add News’ page.

Installation

We have added a web based installation script that will help configuring EternalCMS.  It allows you to specify your database credentials and then creates the tables for you through a web interface.  It also allows you to set your site name, slogan, footer information and specify the limit for news items displayed on each page though a web interface.

Admin Interface

The Admin Interface is designed to help make managing your site easier.  Being the first release the features of the Admin Interface are still basic.  Each new version will include more and more functionality, eventually providing you with an interface to control every aspect of the application.

Currently it allows you to activate/deactivate user accounts, edit/delete published news stories and modify your site settings that you had set during the installation of the application.
