Ive done most of the frame work for 2.1 with beta 7, it is coming along and is expected for released a few days after jelsoft releases RC 1.

2.1 aims to eleminate the need for a vBportal type hack, this small package will be able to do it all with plug-in's. 2.1 might also warrent a name change of this script because it will become that more powerful.

At this state 2.1 will include the fallowing when released:

Page options:

All of the fallowing are controled from a new page added to the admin cp.


Perrmissions: They are controled on a page by page bases, allowing you to to show content to only certain usergroups

Nav Bar: Custom message for the nav bar

Style settings: You can specify what style is used on a page by page bases

Password: You can restrict pages with a password stored in the database as md5, users must enter a pass before viewing the page (requires cookie users)

Visable option: You can only allow admins to view a page with this option

View counter: Each page supports a view counter if turned on

Plug-in's: If a page is stored in the database (by id) then it can have a set of plug-in's stored in the database. These plug-in's allow you to add your own php to pages without hacking the files. You are restricted to 20 plug-ins per page for resource reasons.

Page Database:

2.1 will also include a new page database, basicly a listing of all your pages, more details on this later

Other Options

It may not make it into the frist version but users on apache will eventally get a search engine friendly version that will print clean links.


Final note: This is the same system I am developing for this site, and it will be released here for free
