Major Additions - 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.

Sweet well for right now you can download the latest version for testing here so your feedback would be great. Good luck with your project.

this looks very nice, ill keep an eye on this

Time for the next public beta release. This release will add a new feature which I think is going to be a great addition to this system. The Import/Export settings system. This new feature will allow you to import default settings from the Mindestic Gaming CMS Lite system if you don't wish to add your own. Lets say you don't want to add 300 developers into the system, no problem. If you go to 'Import/Export Developer' you can upload the latest xml file from Mindestic Gaming CMS Lite and presto, 300 new entries without breaking a sweat! Then lets say you add another 100 and want to share with the community or just want to back it up, well then you simply export the setting. Pretty cool eh? So it you guys could play with the new system and let me know what you think that would be great. Guess I'll get back to work, 1 done 6000 more features to add lol.

Change Log For Version 1.0.0 Beta 2

• 23 new phrases.
• 9 new files.
• Added import/export system for settings.
• Added starter database for all settings.
• Rename categories to platforms.

Here's a screenshot of what you'll see this release:

Now how did you upgrade? See at this time there is no way to upgrade just yet, did you uninstall your copy first then installed a fresh copy? From the sounds of the error you didn't do that. Let me know if thats the case.

[AntiThesis]

Sounds like an interesting system

[G.X.Tournaments]

It was not on the board (the old version, even though I installed it a few weeks back, when I had a problem with vBulletin I restored a backup and the old version was lost) but anyway It was a fresh install. I don't have any idea whats up with it, I will just wait for the final version.

Regards.

[SS9267547]

G.X.Tournaments: Like I said it dosn't sound like you installed a fresh copy beucase in the error message it looks like the database is the old version and the files are the new ones. Thats why it can't find what its looking for. You need to uninstall the product beucase installing the new one if you ever want to play with it before its ready.

AntiThesis: Sounds interesting but we'll see if it goes far lol.
