I just thought I would let you all know about this new CMS (MODx) that's very easy to install and configure. Here's a list of some of the features that's currently supported:
* Works in your favorite browser - and yes that means Safari! You can manage your websites from anywhere in the world with an internet connection and IE 5.5+, Safari 1.3+, Firefox 1.0+. Did you figure out your other favorite browser will work? Share it with our community.
* Installer Improvements - it's now easier for less experienced users to get up an running fast.
* Improved Rich Text Editors - All MODx RTEs are optional plug-ins, making for a smaller base download. FCKeditor ships out of the box. Adding new RTEs to MODx is simple with TinyMCE available now as an optional download and Textile, Markdown and widgEditors on their way.
* Strong Web Standards Support - MODx does not force you into awkward and confusing blocks-this or channels-that templating engines or layout rules. You can build XHTML 1.1 Strict sites just as easily as a tag-soup laden table layout.
* Web 2.0 Features / AJAX - MODx is 100% buzzword compliant! It's the first free PHP-based CMS to offer an API that fully supports Web 2.0 AJAX technology thanks to script.aculous.com and our good friends at Sabre. Expect to see this grow more and more into our manager over time, but you can make use of it today in your own custom applications including live search, web effects, AJAX communications and more. (coming soon...)
* Better handling of aliases and menu indexes - menu indexes at the same level auto-increment as documents are created, SEF aliases are automatically created from the page titles and the system will check for alias conflicts before saving a page.
* New "show in menu" flag - a new flag which can be set on a per-document basis. Handy for using in menu-building snippets to indicate whether or not you want a document to appear in a menu or not... no more unpublished folders to hide items from menu snippets.
* Improved Meta-tag and keywords controls - consider MODx your #1 free Search Engine Optimization CMS. MODx helps your SEO efforts by making it easier to adjust meta-content of your site on a per-page basis.
* Separate Manager and Web User sessions - simplify your testing and development workflow.
* Improved Document Parser and Error handling - build better custom applications with a more robust API and greatly improved error handling and reporting inside the manager.
* Custom Content Types - use MODx documents to manage your linked Style Sheets, Images and Javascript. Transform them into XML, PDF, Excel or a Word documents with snippets and this handy new feature.
* Supports Friendly URLs on both IIS and Apache web servers - The cool thing is that it works on HSPERE installations!
