Mindestic Gaming CMS Lite BETA
 

Important Beta Information
Do NOT use on a live site until the first official stable version is released. This public beta release is for testing and feedback purpose only so do NOT use for normal use. Stable version to be released in 2008 if time allows me to.

Any updates that come in the next few weeks will NOT have any upgrade features and you will need to remove and reinstall the mod again untill the stable version is released.

Thank you for taking the time to test Mindestic Gaming CMS Lite. Please do keep in mind that this is at very early stage of development so there are a TON of features that need to be worked on. I hope to hear from all of you soon.

Change Log For Version Beta

• Will be listed once stable version is released.

seems very interesting...are there shots or demos available for the front end?

Hah, forgot those, I will upload shortly. However the front end at this time is very very simple. However it will be changed in time.

very nice
can be add attachment system to this hack

Well an attachment system or more like a whole gallery type system I was thinking.

Very nice hack for a gaming site like mine.Thx again

I have a few thoughts, ideas etc...

Based on the screenshots, I'm assuming Category would be considered the Platform (Xbox, Xbox 360 etc...) Is there a reason you went with Category over Platform? I look at categories as being the same thing as Genre.

An option to enter the URL for the Developer, Publisher and/game iteself would be a nice feature.

The ability to sort the Developer, Publisher and Genre list(s) within the Admincp.
