amun

This news is to inform you about the current development status of amun to get an overview what is happening on this project. Currently Iam implementing a new feature called "IDC" wich stands for "Inter Domain Communication". This feature will make it possible to connect multiple amun instances together so that users can login with the same user name and password acrosss multiple websites and also that you can share content between each instance.

In example you have a website A and website B. Both websites running amun they could connect together via IDC. If the connection is successful established they have the same user base and could share content. That means that they can connect pages of the same type together. If a new topic is posted on website A it is automatically posted on website B and vice versa.

All the content exchange is made via events. You can subscribe to specific events where you want receive content. I.e. on a news page you can subscribe the CREATE event and then you get an fat ping (this is not 100% sure yet) if a new news is created. I plan to use an opensocial based API for making it possible to create update and delete content. The API is protected via OAuth. You can subscribe to pages via an PubSubHubBub request.

The plan is to build the IDC connection in a way that you can build a network of websites. That means that each website can have multiple connections to other websites and this websites can also have connections to other websites and so on. If a website A is connected to website B and website C is connected to website B then website A and website C are also passiv connected via website B.

This is so far the status of amun. I am currently implementing the subscription mechanism of events and I think that at the end of this month I can probably release a new version. If you have any questions do not hesitate to post a question in the forum.

I like to announce a new release and btw the first release under the new name "amun". Finally all content is moved to the new google project. The article plugin was added wich has similar functionalities as the forum plugin but you can rate articles up or down. Apart from that this release fixes mostly bugs. Some templates were fixed and the "right two column" template was removed. Also the default template was redesigned.

Because I love this minimalistic design I have also choose the default template for this website. In the next days the focus is on bug fixing and writing a better manual and probably some tutorials. If you want to get involved do not hesitate to contact me either via the mailinglist or the forum.

With the renaming from "psx cms" to "amun" I have registered a new google project also called "amun" (http://code.google.com/p/amun). In the next days I will push all sourcecode and downloads to the new project. If all is done I will probably delete the old "psx cms" project.

The new version of psx cms 0.2 beta is finally out. This version includes changes to the application design a lot bug fixes and overall improvements. I have decide to rename "psx cms" to "amun" because of the confusion between the psx framework and the "psx cms" content managment system. In the next days I will create a new sub domain amun.phpsx.org wich is the new home for the amun content managment system.

To avoid confusions I have released this version under the name psx cms but the manual and the classes are already renamed to amun. In the next weeks I will create a new google code project for amun and update all places wich refer to psx cms.

The renaming decision requires alot administration so I will post any updates to this website. Also you should note that this release is also an beta release so if you find any bugs or problems do not hesitate to contact me.

As you maybe know psx cms is based on the psx framework. Because I have rewrote the psx framework and changed the application structure I have to rewrite in parts psx cms to upgarde the underlying psx version. I plan that the version 0.2 is runing on the latest version of the psx framework. With this major change I also think probably about an new name/logo because the name "psx cms" is not that creative and the logo looks very similar to psx. If you have any ideas do not hesitate to contact me. So if its in the next time a bit quiet about psx cms I am working hard on releasing version 0.2.
