The Calendar and Other Things
I've begun revamping the event calendar and have been adding new features and improving old ones.
Many nit-picky details to work out across all systems in place.
One thing at a time though, too many items at once can lead to errors.
RSS Feed is done!
Put the finishing touches on the RSS Manager, well, at least the functional ones. You can create RSS channels in the RSS Manager and then open up any existing article that is published and select which channel you want it in. Currently an article can only go into one channel at a time or if you don't want it in any of the channels you can select "None" and it will be removed when you click on "Update". There is still a lot of additional things to add or improve on it but it has all the basic functionality you need to manage as many RSS channels as you might need. RSS is done for now, the feeds validate every single time.
Site Archivist
I decided to name the content management system "Site Archivist", formerly known as "OC-Engine". The new name is a bit more descriptive about what the software does and is probably easier to remember. It has the same look as "OC-Engine" but a different name and whole new set of features. The event calendar is still intact, but I'll need to work on an event manager, that ties an event article to the events page and allows you to edit how the announcement will appear on the events page, and full control over the date and time of the event.
It sat for about a year and a half, and since I dusted it off last Fall and started looking at it and working on it I have made noteable progress.
OC-Site
OC-Site, formerly known as OC-Engine (it ran the site, like an engine runs a car) is progressing pretty quickly. About a year, year and a half ago I was working on a improved version of OC-Engine. It was about that time I began checking out WordPress as a viable alternative to my system. So off I went into the la-la land of WordPress, checking out how it can serve my clients needs. There was one thing though that nagged at the edge of my mind about it, the performance, or in a lot of cases the lack therof. About a month and a half ago I decided to dust off the last version of OC-Engine and see about getting it working once again.
It was like in one of those sci-fi, post apocalyptic movies where they find and old control center for a military base or some other significant control system that had been buried for ages. Checking it out to see what systems are still intact, what needs work and what needs to be thrown out altogether. I had made quite a bit of progress on the newer version, many of the features of the old system were intact. Some of the newer features and systems were working, others needed a bit more of work to get them running properly.
There is a lot that is done but there is still a lot left to do, so I will hold off on the ticker tape parades for now.
Progress thus far...
The OC-Site system is coming along pretty well. The user authentification system is nearly done, just a few more functions to complete though it works as is right now. The pages load quickly despite having no optimizations whatsoever. The page links are now search engine friendly, which will help whoever uses OC-Site for their website with search engine rankings.
Testing
This is a test of the Article Editor. With it you can create articles, blogs, whatever you can this of you can probably make with the Article Editor. At the moment there are some limitations so you may need to know everything about HTML 5.0, no biggie.
Much more to do...
This website is dynamically created and is focused on performance. The site loads very quickly because only what is needed to run the site is loaded and not a ton of other things most other content management systems like to load up.
This is added with the new article editor interface. This seems to work better with pasting in paragraphs from other sources, like you favorite word processor.
This article can be listed on any page or a stand alone page for sitemaps and RSS Channels. Speaking of which this CMS handles sitemaps on the fly by simply checking off the sitemap option in the page editor. Click update and its in the sitemap, you can uncheck it at a later time if the page is no longer valid. The RSS Feed Manager is complete in its ability to store all the necessary variables and produce as many validatable RSS channels you may need. In the Article Manager you can select which feed the article should appear in, currently an article can go in one channel at a time.
