Updated to latest Bootstrap and Jquery
After a day or so of going through the whole e-cms, it has been updated to use latest bootstrap and jquery versions. Only real problem was the image slider. Had to rewrite a lot of that to work with the new versions. Other than that everything seems to be working and looking ok. err0r
Wordpress Yay or Nay?
As a developer, I have had my fair share of experiences with website content management systems (CMS), and one of the most popular options out there is WordPress. In the early stages of my career, I was drawn to WordPress because of its user-friendly interface and extensive plugin ecosystem. However, over time, I have come to realize that while WordPress has its merits, it also has some significant drawbacks that developers like myself need to be aware of.One of the most common issues with WordPress is its vulnerability to security breaches. Due to its popularity, WordPress becomes a prime target for hackers, making it more prone to attacks. While there are security plugins available, they...
Updates to err0r.net ecms
Spent a full day doing updates and additions to the err0r.net ecms. Added external links functionality. Fixed some bugs. Added a weather widget i've been working on. More to come.
Added Posts Attachments Feature
Added the function to insert attachments in posts. You can add multiple attachments using the [attachment=number] shortcut. I plan to also use this feature in my forum software once I get around to it. Using the dashboard you can upload files and get the attachment id there. I am using font-awesome icons to show the various mimetypes of the files. I have included a sample below.
New gallery albums added!
Added the e-cms gallery system this weekend. I'm pretty happy with it overall. I am sure I will continue to improve on what is already there. Working with bootstrap 4 has really been great. All the added classes make everything so much easier than adding a lot of css entries manually. The site seems to work very well in mobile too. I am able to do everything on my phone that I am able to do using a laptop/desktop. I am thinking of creating a social feed as well but still unsure if that is really needed. Might be something I need down the line however, so I might go ahead and add it. As always more to come.err0r
Search function added.
I have created a search function for eCMS. It will search for posts, pages, files individually or do an entire search for all sections. There is a limitation of searching for files/posts by author that I am still deciding on the best approach to deal with. One option is to inner join database tables but I really don't like doing that. Another is to include the actual name of the author in the database along with the id number. I would just have to update the various tables if the nickname is changed. There is also the issue of many users preferring to use unicode names which is only a very minor issue. There is a very good chance no one reads these posts but I like to have it for my own...
File Database Added
I have added a file management system to the eCMS. I took what I learned from building the file management system on TG007.net and improved it. I will be adding files that interest me to the system. Feel free to download anything you want. If you have anything you think I should add please let me know in the comments. More things to come!
