I made this post in case anyone wanted to request a feature they would like to see in the CMS.
Currently, the following is what I have planned (for features... would grow as it is kind of late right now).
- Administration
- Easy, automated installation (The script for this is already written)
- Easily accessible and understandable configuration file
- Easy to navigate and use control panel (Design is 'thought out thoroughly' but not created yet)
- Conservative Admin Design/Lay-out
- Admin Controls organized
- Create categories and pages associated with the categories easily
- Complete user permission control
- Closing the SITE down
- Locking the registration/log-in feature
- Activating/deactivating/using templates
- Administering the RSS feeds
- Images for categories (Optional)
- Menu created automatically/dynamically
- Selecting between CMS's native database enforced by SQL database and everything dependent on an SQL database (For those who has a lot of storage space and not a lot of SQL space and expecting the site to grow... will later try to have it convert between the two).
- Users
- Memberlist
- Registration/Log-In
- Remember me for X (Time Measurement)
- RSS Feeds of chosen catagories
- User Control Panel
- Private Messaging System (PM)
- Group or to single user E-Mailing System
- Style/Template Chooser (Optional, if enabled)
- The CMS
- Expandable modules/plug-ins
- Forum Integration (Optional)
- Blog for every user (Optional, if enabled)
- A profile/portfolio for every user (Optional, if enabled)
- Language Packs (Default CMS package would come with one language (English)... could be easily extended)
- Finds and links to the languages available dynamically
- Easy language to language navigation
- Cookie remembering last picked language
- An extended permission system which is easy to use
- Private Messages Filtering
- Friends/Foe System (Optional, if enabled)
- Fully Customizable
- User Tracking
- Site Statistics (Optional, if enabled)
- Graphs
- Charts
- Textual Representations
- Admin Controls as to which stats to show
- Admin's ability to organize statistics
- Stats per user (In user profile page), per group and averages (All optional if enabled)
- Not too dependent on the SQL Database (Optional)
If you want to add to the feature list, post them here.
Also, if you would like to participate in the designing process of the CMS, you could reply to this post and give me a feedback to the design.
