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.

To tell you the truth it should work with 3.5, you can try it out when I get the fix out and you can let me know since this is coded the same as my glossary hack for 3.6 which did work on 3.5, don't know if it still does tho lol. However if it does or dosn't there isn't any plans right now to support it.

[Cedric_FP]

Definitely very interested! Keep up the good work

[ChrisSy]

What is the status of this hack?

[SS9267547]

Still working on the developer/publisher section. Once that is done I'll release the next beta version.

I'm going to click the install button on this one to keep up on the updates. I have a gaming site that's pretty dead and we're looking for things to liven it up, so I'll be keeping on this one.

But I get an idea of features and stuff, but what "exactly" is this, it says "gaming system" in the post but that's pretty vague to me (I can be pretty slow at times heh). Can I get a bit more detailed explanation than gaming system please. Thanks.

[Necrosaro420]

Is there going to be anyway to set it up so that user's can have their own sections? I actually run a Nintendo (8 bit) site, and it would be awesome if there was a way Users could have their own section to post their collections etc.

Any Update?

Wow this is nice. I will try to get testing it on my Test server. Sorry dont mean to get off post topic but are you still supporting your other mods?

[Hornstar]

Just letting you know that ive also been watching the progress on this, hoping that your still working on it, as ill be be very keen to get my hands on this as it improves more.

o0Hubba0o: It?s pretty well a content management system for a gaming site, for example like gamespot. That?s pretty it lol. Could go into details if you want later.

Necrosaro420: There will be at a later date a new option that will give users a collection section so for example you have all Nintendo classic games listed. Now when a user visits the game page they can click an option that would add the game to their game collection, or game they are playing right now, want to get, etc.

ngocha85: I was in the middle of redoing the developer/publisher section as just a 'company' section of the site when I got off track with playing games about a month ago lol. This is what I'm working on right now.

rjmjr69: Yes and no, I just haven?t had much time to work on things. In the next month I'll see if I can get back on track, but don't hold your breath on a speedy release/updates.

hornstar1337: Yes still on it, not as much as I'd like to busy still on it.
