IndieMat Development Log
By: Navigation and Modules Add update
The manage navigation was acting mighty funky, so got it all cleared up and re-organized the display a bit. Still thinking about how, in the admin view, to show pages not in the main navigation more easily - currently they can only be seen from the "edit navigation" page.
Also made it easier to track module and add the same module to many pages, rather than just one. Will be adding an options to include header and footer on new pages at creation, rather than having to tack on later.
The "to do" list before next version release stands at about 15, assuming it doesn't grow as go.
It's almost harder to work when I don't have a deadline to get a version live since I let myself dabble more.
Updates are in this site only, not demo version. I think I'll try to update that every other week or so.
A Very Beta Launch
The launch of IndieMat includes three sites - this one, the demo site and an example site (thanks to Marc Ribler for allowing the re-use of this artwork and content for this project). There is also a download available, though for checking out purposes only. Unless you are comfortable in PHP and MySql, I'd advise not using it yet. At this point it's a wonder if the DOESN'T break.
But I need to use it, so wanted to get stuff online to weed out bugs and alter functionality as I use it. Just in setting up these beta sites, I changed many things and discovered many new fixes I need to do. These are all listed on the Development Issues page.
This project is turning out to be much bigger than I first suspected, as I continue to run into snares. As I am but a student of PHP, I'm learning as I go, so sometimes awe at my own stupidity when the "ohhhhh" moment finally arrives.
I'm open to feedback and assistance always. I look forward to sharing this artist geared CMS with more people.
