Orcs Goblins and .NET

I enjoy reading and writing. I hope you enjoy at least the former.

Simple CMS Released

    After much anticipation, I am sure, from my zealous readers, I offer to you Simple CMS. This is a simple content management system, hence the name, which plugs into existing applications. This ASP.NET 2.0 plug-in is not meant to be a full blown application. This is for someone who has a site, and wants to easily add content to the site. With Simple CMS you can through a web interface create content for you pages, and control the addresses of these pages within your site.

    Simple CMS is currently in Beta, but support will be offered most prominently through the Simple CMS Forum, which is also where I would like people to let me know of any features they would like to see in later versions. I already know of some large changes I plan to make for future versions of Simple CMS.

    I hope you enjoy Simple CMS, and you can expect some articles to be written and posted on ASPAlliance.com about how I made Simple CMS. I will probably write these as separate articles about interesting and useful topics I employed in the creation of my content management system. If you think Simple CMS is cool, you should also check out this Cache Manager on which Simple CMS is loosely based. It is a very useful little tool.

    Steve Smith did a nice release post for Simple CMS yesterday, so rather than duplicate the content I will just link to his post.

    Thanks for reading my Blog. Keep reading it and maybe you will get a free cookie, but you probably won’t.

The reason Simple CMS does not have its own login is to keep it simple. You are able to site-wide authentication with Simple CMS. You can use ASP.NET's User Management with Simple CMS.

In the next major release of Simple CMS we will include a newer version of FreeTextBox or we may use a different rich text editor. We have been looking into some others.

We will likely be coming out with an optional SiteMap Provider for Simple CMS which will allow your links to update along with changes to your content in Simple CMS.

Thank you for the feedback. Keep letting us know what you think of Simple CMS, and what changes you would like for the future.

Looks like the registration form for Simple CMS (Beta) v0.9.60908.1. is not working? Would be nice to test it out. Thank you.

Alex this should probably be discussed in the Simple CMS Forums

What problem is the site having when you try to register?

Try to logon on and you will get the following error: Server Error in '/SimpleCMS' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Instead of using the old location for simple cms go to

http://codeplex.com/SimpleCMS

It is the new home of Simple CMS.
