Default Let's make a CMS

Basically I would like to have someone to teamup with for a CMS development using ZF.
In general I'd like a cms that would be simple, fast, lightweight and easy to use.
  • modular - it should be easy to create new modules and extend functionality
  • user friendly urls - should map like: path/to/my/page
  • tags - content should be taggable
  • usergroups - groups, permissions (Zend_Auth, Zend_Acl)
  • metadata and search engine optimizations
  • ajaxed UI for administration (extJS)
  • Feeds friendly
  • Page plugins (like add small gadgets to web page - feeds, calendars, ...)
I have worked on another CMS based on ZF framework for a while now. But I'd like to work on an open source project that I could use for my projects and so on.

anyone interested?

Currently trying to piece together a similar project for my own freelance purposes. I can't share my code for security purposes but would enjoy the opportunity to work on something more open...

Cristian

Are you able to share some code with us?
Not everything, for security reasons i think you cant share everything you've done so far.

i'm a bit stuck trying to implement the modules system so they can be easy to develop and install, and get merged in the administration system.

can u share a base system, so we can see how you approach the problem?

Trying to get back next days with some ideas.

Anyway, i am not sure that my CMS is going to work for other sites than those based on my platform...

Related to what albeva added i have:
  • modular - it should be easy to create new modules and extend functionality - yes
  • user friendly urls - should map like: path/to/my/page - yes
  • tags - content should be taggable - a bit unsure what this means
  • usergroups - groups, permissions (Zend_Auth, Zend_Acl) - just basic now
  • metadata and search engine optimizations - yes (but personally by metadata i understand diff things)
  • ajaxed UI for administration (extJS) - for some things only atm
  • Feeds friendly - not now
  • Page plugins (like add small gadgets to web page - feeds, calendars, ...) - not now

About modularity. Each module:
- has in admin his own set of controllers, views
- has on default his own set of controllers, views
- models are shared between those two controllers, and optionally others if needed
- .js for admin of module, loaded automatically from admin side if needed
- .css for admin of module, loaded automatically from admin side if exists
- .css and .js for default module if needed
- own language files
- own settings files
- his own set of pages (i am using an xml db with pages) for admin side of module
- own icon on admin side
- entry into database of modules, with proper permissions vs users (i don't have groups now)

Aso...

thats very cool system, i see you've got a lot of work done so far.
My idea, and once my knowllege of the zend framework is not that great (for now), was to get a base system, like modular base structure that serve as a way to control, install, update and delete modules (like news, articles, forums, pools and so on...), a fully featured login and auth system with goups integrated on the base system, i think that after this base is complete, we can freelly develop modules for all most everything we may need, and have the option to install it or not depending on the project needs.

This way you may have a flexible system, that is light and can be adapted to many situatons without having to change the base. With a system like this, i may have a catalog in the front page in one project, but in the other have an article list or anything else i need, better than that i just need to fill the client with just the modules he needs and nothing more.

This kind of funcionality is the only thing i like about JOOMLA, its very easy to install, update or delete a module, and every module integrates with the base platform, including the admin system for that module, thats what i think it whould be great to build.

What do you think?

cristian
May we adapt some of your work to start this kind of platform?
As is sayd before i'm new to ZF, so it whould be great to have a base to start and lear from real world examples.
