Changelog

CMSimple is based on a Perl script written by Peter Andreas Harteg in 1999 and used for managing homepages for many years. In March 2003 he rewrote it in PHP and made it available for free use.

These older versions of CMSimple are no longer available for download at cmsimple.org. If you have interest in an older version, please write peter@harteg.dk

BETA 1

30,9 KB - Released 16/03/03

Initial release.

BETA 2

29.8 KB - Released 21/03/03

IMPROVEMENTS IN BETA 2:

The CMSimple scripts:

• More compatible with IIS and on Apache on Win32
• New login procedure which does work on IIS (still need more security)
• register_globals does not have to be on (default in newest versions of PHP)
• Parsing and setting all variables used by the script (better security and less errors on IIS)
• Several minor errors in the beta 1, ie. missing tags for valid HTML

WYSIWYG Editor:

• Functions in newest Mozilla! (1.3b build dated after 26/01/2003, tested on Windows and MacOSX)
• Downside: Assumed not to function in IE4 anymore - only IE5 or higher.
• Undo and redo buttons
• Dynamic buttons

Other differences between beta1 and beta2:

• There had to be a onload() function call in the template's body tag to get the editor to work with Mozilla
• The system folder has changes from cms to cmsimple in the installation
• Stylesheet has been moved from root to cmsimple folder to keep all writable files one place - the stylesheet is called with the parameter ?&stylesheet

RELEASE 1.0

20.0 KB - Released 10/04/03

IMPROVEMENTS IN RELEASE 1.0 SINCE BETA 2:

• Better documentation, mainly in settings.php
• New layout in template.htm (no longer a nude arse on your webpage ;-))
• Checking PHP_SELF in settings.php for security
• A few other minor changes

RELEASE 1.1

20.5 KB - Released 01/05/03

IMPROVEMENTS IN RELEASE 1.1

The release 1.1 fixes the following bugs:

• Using " in headings makes the editor go down (April 23. 2002)
• Need a focus before inserting image - right know you'll have to click the button twice (April 24. 2002)
• Wrong output on error in image listings - minor bug (April 29. 2002)

RELEASE 1.2

32.1 KB - Released 21/05/03

Improvements in release 1.2:

• Build-in images in menu and editor buttons are now cached by the browser (change in image.php)
  
• Images in menu and editor buttons are distributed as files in the folder named buttons. This folder may be deleted, if you wish to still use only build-in images. The files may be customised, if you wish to create your own images, ie. for the menu. Read the documentation in settings.php. These changes solves problems with slow image load on some servers. Changes in settings.php and function trlink() and OEdit editor in cms.php and $scriptname settings moved from cms.php to settings.php.
  
• Danish, Dutch, French, English, German and Spanish languages are distributed in settings.php.
  
• Headers for 401 and 404 errors changed to "status:" for server compatibility.
  
• Color for sitename removed in stylesheet (no need of it).

BETA 1 1.3

38.1 KB - Released 06/06/03

Lots of bugs, ie. image upload function didn't work on Linux, and no mailform&guestbook.

BETA 2 1.3

40 KB - Also released 06/06/03

The beta 2 of 1.3 is pretty stable - no major bugs. This beta includes multiple languages, image upload function (PHP 4.1), mailform and guestbook.

CMSimple version 2 beta 1

The development of version 1.3 was moved forward to a beta release of CMSimple version 2.

Some of the improvements in the release: Management of download files, template management, a more simplified stylesheet and lots of minor improvements (meta tags, sitetitle, date formatting etc.).

Also, this release also has some CMSimple programming possibilities within the contents. It is possible to grab a page from the internet and replace the contents on a page by writing #CMSimple geturl('http://www.somepage.net'); #

Only English and Danish language files are included in this beta release. The way text strings, file- and site settings are handled has been changed. They are all stored in arrays, which makes it easy to edit the variables using forms.

With this new version it has become easy to translate the entire user interface into a new language - but the bad part of it is, that most of the translations to cmsimple/cmcomplex 1.x are really not of much use. There is a need of new translations.

Image/file upload only working in PHP 4.1 and higher.

Editor image files are only included as coded in image.php. If you like to get them as physical files, please download editor.zip (8 KB) and unpack it to a folder named editor in the images directory.

CMSimple version 2 beta 2

Improvements in this second beta since the initial beta:

• Image upload should now be supported on PHP > 4.0.0.
• TOP link in template is inserted by new top() function and variable set in language file.
• A chkfile missing parameter, wrong inclusion of image.php and missing global definition in image.php fixed.
• Norwegian language distributed.
• Change in licence text.

The Help section (including Installation notes) is now updated for CMSimple version 2.x.

CMSimple version 2 beta 3

Improvements in this third beta since beta 2:

• Minor bug in function getlost()) - a "global $tx" is missing.
• meta() function resulted in wrong output (a > too much).
• In config.php it said CMComplex and not CMSimple.
• Default admin username set to 'admin' instead of 'adm'.
• Minor things in Danish language file corrected.
• Wrong td tag in template corrected.
• Finnish and German language distributed.
• Multi-linguage folder named 2lang instead of dk.

CMSimple version 2 beta 4

Improvements in this fourth beta since beta 3:

• CMSimple scripting gives a lot of new possibilities, ie. hiding a page, changing meta tags on a specific page or integration with photogallery. For documentation, please see the 'CMSimple function' section in the distributed content file.
• Guestbook turned the other way around.
• French and Dutch language distributed.
• The date format in $tx['lastupdate']['dateformat'] in Dutch and Finnish has been changed.

CMSimple version 2.1

Improvements in version 2.1 since 2.0:

• Better Mozilla >1.3 compatibility (includes an upgrade of the online editor OEdit).

• Change of values in form configuration of config and language is applied to the output of the response page.
• A new array $l is defined to keep the levels instead of calling function l() all the time. This makes it possible to change the heading within content with CMSimple scripting without messing the TOC up.
