Vandeventer Engine WM2 / News: Recent posts

We've added updated frontend and backend code, and updated our file release structure.

The Development code package will hold our bleeding edge code for testing, the Stable package will be home to the stable "production ready" code... of which there is none.

Be sure to read the README file in the docs/ directory.

With the impending release of the first beta of the admin code, we will be pulling the old admin code and changing the package information.

After the release of the new admin beta code, there will be two packages:
Frontend - the current ve_manila package, the actual newspaper frontend code
Admin - the current ve_revolution package, the admin backend code

Hopefully this will clear up some confusion.

Go download the, check the changelog for... well.. changes and the notes for setup and troubleshooting advice.

I promise we will have a installer soon.

Revolution is the replacement for the current admin module.

Because Revolution is written using XUL for the interface, it only runs in Mozilla, (tested in Mozilla and Phoenix on Linux, OS X, OS 9 and, to a lesser degree, Windows).

Revolution's messy code is written in PHP, XUL and JavaScript.

Umm, yea. Problem with the SQL file from the release. Head over to the files section to grab the updated version.

This replaces the current one.

Thanks to Gabi P. for the heads up.

Well after that first release went a few months sans SQL file, we've uploaded a new release with the new code AND an SQL file for setting up the database.

Please remember this is just an alpha, the docs are not completed yet, neither is the new XUL based admin module.

Hang on a few more months...
