dCMS - who’s using it? A little hello to my hosting company
Jun 29

dCMS is a content management system offering many features out of the box and has the ability to integrate custom modules - easily and simply.  The current version is 1.0.6b and requires IIS5 and MySQL.

Plans are afoot to rewrite the dCMS from the ground up using ASP.NET 2.0 and MS SQL.

This was created by me before my time at digitl with Shout It Out and has been worked upon during my time at digitl - adding new features and functions.

Features:

  • Page Editing
    • WYSIWYG Page editing
    • Multiple page templates
    • Easy addition of Modules, Galleries and Forms to pages
    • Full control of meta data for SEO
    • Easy addition of images and documents to pages
    • Easy linking of pages together (related pages)
    • Search engine friendly links and page caching
  • Out of the box modules

    • Images can be assigned into categories and categories in turn can be turned into public galleries
    • Documents can be uploaded with additional meta data
    • Auto recognition of Flash content and easy insertion into pages
