No CMS for Web2Py?

[mjm]

I really like Web2Py to get things done without much fuss. But I am somewhat surprised there seems to be no CMS for W2P. 

Projects mentioned in this context on this list Instant Press and Movuca are not very active: Instant Press has seen no releases since 2010. Movuca almost no commits in the last year, the website is gone. A shame really, it seemed quite promising. 

Auth.wiki is a nice recent addition to W2P but seems geared to developers, not end users. 

Are there any projects I missed?

The builit-in wiki despite the misleading name, is kind of a CMS. You have pages. Pages have attachements. Pages have permissions. Attachments inherit permissions. If you think of a page as a folder, this is a CMS lite. ;-)

There is InstantPress, there is movu.ca and there is w2cms (https://github.com/mdipierro/w2cms experimental to be revived).

Hi Massimo 

auth.wiki seems useful, but mostly for the site developer, not user friendly enough for site owner/user IMHO. Something like Plone is overkill for a website. I'd like to see something simple and polished somewhere in between.

I'd be hesitant to use projects like Instant Press and Movuca that seem (almost) abandoned. I'll have a look at w2cms.

Well, the thing about web2py is that it's been backwards compatible from the start, so an abandoned project should work just fine in the latest version of Web2py. The way it's laid out, it makes modifying code easy as well. Don't be afraid to pick up an older CMS and run with it.

Hi Marcel

For my personal use I developed a basic CMS. The goal was to have something very simple to use.

Some features need to be improved, but I released the project recently.

You can have a look at https://github.com/espern/tiny_website

Niphlod,

I would be pleased to contribute. What should I do?

[greaneym]

Loic,

this is a beautiful cms package. Thank you.  The only question I would have is how to make the total size smaller?  

I really like the visual design. Congratulations on your app!

Hi Margaret,

The total size of the app is about 9MB

To populate the default data, I added some pictures, and a PDF file to download.

You will find pics in : 

static/images/photo_gallery

and a PDF file in

static/uploaded_files
If you remove the content of these two folders, you will save about 7MB (demo.pdf in uploaded_files folder is about 6.5MB)

Hi Loïc,

This looks very promising! 

Thx for the tip.

Hi Derek

Web2Py might be backward compatible but neither Movuca nor InstantPress work out of the box. That does not inspire others to contribute ;-)

it's just to keep track of projects running on web2py.... if they are open-source even better .... I'll notice Anthony or Massimo to get this repo included...
