Someone interested in a simple CMS for web2py? - SimplrCMS

[Bruno Rocha]

HI, I am working a lot to create a simple CMS system based on RadiantCMS.

As a goal I want to create a database (cached) based, configurable system, where has:

Pages 

Blocks (custom and distributed)

Customized templates

Blog system

Auth & permissions

So everything would be customized by using 'blocks' which is peaces of code that can be stored at database or in normal python modules, then it will be cashed (in the same wordpress & magento does)

Another thing I have is db based menu & a custom administraton dashboard.

Templates will be created using web2py template language or jquery templates depending on the block_type.

I used Skeleton as layout base, JQuery template for blocks, plugin_PowerGrid, plugin_PowerModal, plugin_ckeditor and only two controllers + a lot of conditional models (using the new cool subfolders feature in models).

It has mobile adapted themes.

All forms are automatic processed via ajax (but it is configurable) and validation is server or client side.

I Called it web2py SimplrCMS (because it is very un-anbitious and really simple), intent to be used by any kind of users (even non-programmers)

I already have real website running, and I am testing it

Live Front End: (templates are customized) -  http://www.miaudota.com.br/miaudota (this is not a demo)

It also has a blog system (built with PowerGrid) http://www.miaudota.com.br/miaudota/default/index/blog/category/geral

which already has dusqus integration: http://www.miaudota.com.br/miaudota/default/index/blog/post/geral-teste

The backend are developed using PowerGrid and Crud.

this is under development and I am including more generalization and a sample template (the actual is not mine, it belongs to a client). 

I am here requesting your feedback about it, and I want to know who are interested in a very simple, lightweight, FOSS Content Management System for web2py?

I hope to release it soon on labs.blouweb.com (my problem now is to write documentation, I am with no time for it, and I am bad with words in English :) )

But I will release only when documentation were complete, because I see users running in troubles with other codes I released without documentation :) (sorry...)

Cool...We'd need simple e-commerce on top of that.

Looks nice.

Is it possible to have non-disqus threaded comments?

I'm still deciding whether to use web2py or Django and asked question about it at SO:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6951947/cmsbloge-commerce-django-or-web2py

where you can see list of desired features we would like to have.

In any case, your project looks very interesting...

Otoh, without trying I cannot provide any suggestion and before deciding to use
web2py we cannot contribute as well. :-)

Sincerely,
Gour

Bruno,

I have been needing to implement a CMS/blog type application for an upcoming web site that I'd like to base off web2py instead of using WordPress. I would be very interested in seeing how you did some of these things, especially the customizable templates.

Hi,

I don't know if RadiantCMS is still alive.
But if you have "basic" needs (manage pages content and hierarchy) you can have a look to TinyWebsite CMS : www.tinywebsite.net
Demo here : http://www.tinywebsite.net/tiny_website_DEMO/
Github repo : https://github.com/espern/tiny_website.git
