The news about NWC/Nyes was a bit vague the last couple weeks, on purpose. The trouble was that I was exploring frameworks. CakePHP on a direct recommendation from my Ruby on Rails crazy classmate and CodeIgniter on another not so direct recommendation. So... CakePHP was a quick loss and I struggled with CodeIgniter for a while until realizing it didn't work like I would have wanted it to. But it's a MVC framework right and NWC/Nyes use the same concept so why shouldn't it work? Yes, they both use the MVC style but on a different level.
I've learned the hard way that saying your application or framework is MVC based doesn't mean it will work in every other MVC based framework. So that's what happened with CodeIngniter. I mean I know what CodeIgniter would work for: things I don't make. NewsOffice perhaps would work on it, but I'll probably never try it. When NWC/Nyes works I'll use that as foundation. Much more familiar to me then which will probably result in a better working product.
I've been talking about NewsOffice 3.X Series on the forums, but just to clarify: That's not going to be here anytime soon. Only when NWC/Nyes is out and working I'll consider NewsOffice 3.X Series. For now the 2.0.X Beta series are bug fixes only. 2.0.14 Beta is on it's way after finding that last pesky bug!
Update information about NWC/Nyes
It's holiday time so I have some time on my hands. After surviving the horrors outside (snow) I got to work on some more JavaScript-ing!
- Sitemap done. (JQuery + UI, AJAX based)
- File manager done. (JQuery + UI, AJAX based)
- Basic workings of adding content and pages done. (JQuery + UI, AJAX based)
Next on the list:
- User manager (will be based upon file manager)
- Theme manager
- Packages manager
- And a lot of other stuff I can't think off right now.
Thank you for reading,
