Zomplog

Blogging Tools, Content Management System No Comments »

Zomplog, a user-friendly weblog tool.

There are many great weblog systems around, but they all require technical knowledge from their users. Zomplog is different: it let’s you focus on content instead of code.

Zomplog is made for users, not for coders.

Software should empower you to do great things, not stand in your way. Zomplog has been designed to be logical and easy to use for anyone, not just programmers.

Highly extendable

Many systems are stacked with features that hardly anyone needs or knows how to use. Zomplog comes with all the basic weblog features, and lets you decide which extra functions you need. Because if you need them, you probably know what they’re for, right? Get the latest plugins, themes and translations at the extensions page. Just drop in and go!

Great features

Just because Zomplog is easy to use, that doesn’t mean it only lets you do basic things! Zomplog supports static content, or pages, if you like. This way you can easily use zomplog as an simple content management system! Want to be a broadcaster? Zomplog lets you create podcasts or video podcasts (vodcasts) on the fly! Just upload, and everything else is taken care of!

Active user-community

Zomplog has a very active and dedicted user-community, which is based around the support forum and the online documentation Wiki. Got a question? There are always people willing to help you out on the forum! Need a feature? Request it, and maybe someone will even build it for you! The community is very actively creating new plugins, testing beta versions, translating zomplog and designing new themes. And if you like, you can help the community as well: we can always use coders, designers, writers and beta-testers! Become part of Zomplog, and help us make it even more fun!

Wheatblog

Blogging Tools, Content Management System No Comments »

Wheatblog is blogware: it’s a web-based content management system for maintaining online blogs, journals, news pages, and about anything else you can think of writing down. It allows reader interaction with a comment system, and generates valid RSS 2.0 feeds. It is powered by PHP and is compatible with the MySQL and SQLite database systems.

Here are some of Wheatblog’s features:

  • Simple, straightforward installation and use.
  • All pages are dynamically created using PHP and a database.
  • Posts can be assigned to categories and viewed by category or title.
  • Permanent URL’s, or permalinks, provide a unique, unchanging link to each post, and are readily indexed by search engines.
  • All posts allow reader comments, but can be locked by the administrator at any time.
  • A post can be marked visible or hidden at any time, allowing multiple revisions before publishing.
  • All post dates are arbitrary (not based on timestamps) and therefore completely controllable by the author.
  • Generates valid, well-formed RSS 2.0 feeds of your visible posts for effortless syndication.
  • Valid XHTML makes customization as easy as modifying one CSS file.
  • Best of all, it’s open source! You can hack it to suit your needs!

Why Wheatblog?

The “Blogosphere”, once considered a fad, now seems poised to rewrite the rules of modern journalism, political speech and intellectual discourse in ways not even imagined a decade ago. But there is a problem.

A multitude of bloggers are now entering the fray, and the solutions available are becoming more and more profit-driven and watered down. New all-in-one blogging services are popping up everywhere — and writers, engineers, technologists and those with something important to say are straining against the limitations of a forum that is overrun by gimmicky link schemes and half-baked attempts to stand out among the crowd.

Blogs are everywhere, and everyone seems to have a blog. While casual users may find the prepackaged feel of weblogging services like Blogger’s Blogspot© sufficient, the more advanced often feel limited by a centralized, monolithic content management system that offers little in the way of customization and control.

Audience

Wheatblog was born out of a desire to provide an alternative to such services, and provide a platform for serious-minded and web-savvy users to expand control over their content. All of wB’s markup is valid XHTML 1.0; all style information is housed in a completely independent Cascading Style Sheet. This powerful web design paradigm provides maximum flexibility, and the look, feel and content of your blog is limited only by your creativity.

What is WB News?

WB News is a PHP and MySQL News System developed by Webmobo.

Can I help Develop WB News?

Yes you can we are currently looking for Linux/Windows testers, bug fixes and developers. If you are interested please get in contact with us.

Were do I report Bug `X` to ?

WB News is not perfect nor is any application that comes out, we try to aim to make sure all bugs are out before releasing an application to the public, unfortunately we cannot accommodate every single aspect or situation a user is in and a Bug is found. To help minimize bugs in WB News its best to report all bugs to http://forums.webmobo.com/viewforum.php?f=1 we will make sure in the next release or a patch release comes out quickly.

How can I implement WB News?

Most people do not have the knowledge in PHP and may feel overwhelmed when using any Product they are unformilar with, we aim to make things as easy as possible that is why we have example_xxx.php files added into each version of WB News these example_xxx.php files allow you to easily add a basic News Setup with minimal knowledge of PHP by simply including one of these files within your site.

Im a Developer and want to know if there is a Manual on how WB News works?

WB News currently as of v1.2.2 does not have a Manual. There was a Manual from v0.4.0 and earlier releases however this now very much dated.

Is WB News available in other Languages?

In other languages as in English no, and in Programming languages no. We do not expect this to change for sometime, please feel free to make it possible however we have no plans for this at this point in time.

Im using PHP 5. Is WB News ready for PHP 5?

We actually do our core development on PHP 5, and testing on PHP 4.3 and onwards. So yes WB News does work on PHP 5 however doesnt offer the available PHP 5 classes.
