Just a quick update, ironically coming after a post that says "Work Resumes". However it is, again. The 2.0.2 beta will be another minor release, bringing in new features but the big ones will hopefully be in the next beta release so the final release is in the horizon.

But there will be a blog post going over some of the new/upcoming new features. Stay tuned.

After a few week downtime of AdaptCMS and really even longer on serious work, work has resumed on AdaptCMS - specifically AdaptCMS 2.0.2 Beta. There were some previous ideas and features on the list, but a new wave of brainstorming is taking place and more ambitious features are quite possible in this next beta. (such as user subscriptions and twitter/facebook integration)

There are other brainstormed ideas that could be very exciting so stay tuned. Expect a new blog (finally!) quite soon once progress has been made on these features.

Just a quick update for beta users, update your copy through the admin panel as there are numerous updated files and except them to be updated more in the next day or two.

Today the files affected introduce the "Quick Links" feature (please also download the javascript file) as well as RSS.

If you don't have it already, download the latest Beta release of AdaptCMS right here! (you will still need to update to the absolute latest in the ACP - these files are not updated on sourceforge and will be included in 2.0.2 Beta)

@ Jul 17, 10 - 10:58 pm

Insane Visions is pleased to announce a new beta for AdaptCMS 2.0 - AdaptCMS 2.0.1 Beta. This new version includes all the core files along with the newest files, which 2.0.0 users can just get through there admin control panel.

AdaptCMS 2.0.1 Beta Download

This is not a major upgrade and it only includes a few new features, but a lot of bugs fixed - including some major ones.

• Share - You can now create an IV account to use with the feature right from your ACP! As well the login issues should be fixed.
• Content Preview - A new, nifty feature that lets you preview the content without posting. At the moment it's just basic fields but may be expanded.
• Content Relating - The biggest improvement with numerous bugs from linking to media, in a list data if blank would be used with an un-related item, etc.)

In the next beta expect to see more features than just bug fixes.

@ Jun 27, 10 - 9:23 pm

The new updating scheme will be starting soon - much more frequent then in any other Insane Visions product before and it will start with AdaptCMS 2.0.1 Beta. The idea is to push out bug fixes often with incremental changes and then the 2.x versions become moreso features than bugs/fixes.

This will help the activity look better - as it is, it looks like since 1.5 AdaptCMS has been dead and if not for then, it would look like no progress had been done between 2.0 and 2.1 in a 3 month or so period. This will also get bugs fixed quickly - which we've already done and is still the best to use the File Manager, but for the general public they also have an avenue.

Already there have been numerous content bugs fixed - mostly relation bugs when linking articles together in certain situations as well as linking to media. Look for a possible release in the next 1-2 weeks.

@ Jun 23, 10 - 12:55 am

To reflect the total focus on the recently released beta of AdaptCMS 2.0 and in the near future, final version, AdaptCMS.com has been re-launched with the frontend design featured in the script and is also running on the latest version of AdaptCMS 2.0. Check it out below!

There is still a little work left to do, but it is functioning. Some work on the pages is upcoming closer to release of the final version of AdaptCMS 2.0, as well the news will end up being fed right through Insane Visions here. Stay tuned for updates.

@ Jun 14, 10 - 10:37 pm

Insane Visions is relieved and happy to announce the beta release of AdaptCMS 2.0.0! The process continues as 2.0.0 Beta is an open process, open to anybody to try out - no registration required.

AdaptCMS 2.0.0 Beta Download

The new beta is the very first release of the AdaptCMS 2.x line and if you have used AdaptCMS before, some things will seem familiar but overall is a different experience. Being the first version in the line, even with a private beta, it is noted that the chance of bugs is decently high - if you have a big successful site, don't run the beta on it.

If you are an AdaptCMS user or new to it, checkout the pages here at AdaptCMS.com to get some information as well as pictures and we hope you enjoy the beta. Be sure to not only stay tuned to InsaneVisions.com, but also on your beta "File Releases" page (website > acp/login > click "Upgrade AdaptCMS!") as you can directly update your beta files from there.

@ Jun 11, 10 - 12:26 am

Okay so the Beta and AdaptCMS 2.0 itself has seen numerous delays but it will be worth it. Regardless, the beta will be released very soon - with the blogs finished and the install data updated, now some basic testing to checkout the install and make sure it is a stable install - after that, release.

Seeing as that isn't much at all I would expect this weekend, more than likely Saturday. Stay tuned! (and it will be a PUBLIC beta)

Nothing official yet but currently in works is a brand new website partially put out by Insane Visions. The planning is still coming along and no domain/name has been picked, but a lot of details and features have already been brainstormed.

Basically it will be a wordpress.com-type thing but with more than just one script - three in fact, 2 CMS's and 1 forum script. There will be at least one free package, possibly some paid and right now there is no plan for ads.

Like I said though, details are still being fleshed out and it has a while to actually come to real life form, but I just figured I'd share the tidbit with the viewers and to also say that once the help items are finished, the AdaptCMS 2.0 Beta will release!

@ May 17, 10 - 12:36 am

With the design integrated and progress continuing, I figured I'd upload some pictures for the first look at the new AdaptCMS design!

AdaptCMS 2.0 Gallery

There's 6 new pictures altogether, with a look at the default frontend, file release system, top admin bar and more! Expect a blog pretty soon on the latest progress of AdaptCMS 2.0.

@ May 05, 10 - 9:56 pm

I just got the word from the OneCMS team that a new version has released, 2.6.1, which fixes "various bugs" and security issues. You can checkout the details and the download below:

"OneCMS 2.6.1 has been released! The update fixes various bugs and patches security issues present in OneCMS."

• OneCMS Website
• Sourceforge
• Codeplex

Because of the lack of updates lately I figured I'd just post a few notes on the latest progress of AdaptCMS 2.0.

First, with the private Beta being released, quite a few bugs have been found and fixed. If progress can pick back up and substantial features finished - then I can definitely see a public beta happening and not far off.

Lately the main things done other than bug fixes have been an upgraded (and finished) file release system - though it does need some fine-tuning. But the frontend search as well as the "admin bar" idea were finished - upcoming work will be on the support tickets feature (will work more like a message board topic and replies)

Anyways that's it for now, there will be some pictures of a few of the new features and of course the new design soon.

@ Apr 08, 10 - 10:30 pm

After some delays the new design for AdaptCMS was received and fully implemented this past week - frontend and backend. There will be pics up very soon! In the meantime I figured I'd announce a big detail I thought I had already announced:

AdaptCMS 2.0 will be free, released under the GPL License

The Lite and Pro versions of AdaptCMS were a pain to manage and before I was quite low on money so I needed some income - this time I do have money and have already spent some on AdaptCMS. This does open the script to a different audience and hopefully is not taken as a negative - just because it is free only now, do not expect the quality to be worse or more limited...instead 2.0 will be much better.

Private Beta

With the design finished, the install file was started and functioning leading to a small private beta starting up - just need to do the upgrade. This does not mean a public beta isn't happening, I just needed something small to weed out any large bugs and if the conditions are fine a public beta is very possible.

Stay tuned for updates - I'll post some pictures of 2.0 with the new design in the next few days and hopefully will have news on any public beta in the next week.

@ Mar 26, 10 - 12:58 am

With the recent status change of AdaptCMS 2.0 from Alpha to Beta and the design being finished, I figured it was time to write another blog and try to do some catch up - there has been a large amount of work done since the last blog.

The release is still a decent ways off but the private beta should be in the next week or two, public beta could be a month or so after that. (depending on some things) Not only has work been done on the AdaptCMS features (including a lot on the social functionality), but also the share feature and related IV-integrated features like file releases.

But anyways, in this Blog I'll be going over the Social Feature (which outside of blogs and refining on messages, is done), File Releases and more. Onto the blog.

Our friends at OneCMS.net have posted the exciting news that OneCMS 2.6 has been released! Here's an excerpt and links to the official OneCMS site and download.

"After much delay, the OneCMS team is pleased to announce the release of OneCMS 2.6! The build brings with it many bug fixes and improvements."

@ Mar 17, 10 - 12:18 am

Still with a long ways to go, nonetheless, AdaptCMS 2.0 has gone from Alpha to the start of Beta stage. This means the script is somewhat stable - although serious testing is still a bit off.

There is still a lot of work left before a Beta is released but one of the important steps - a design - is in progress with the default frontend layout already done! Talking about progress, there has been a lot lately after a break - much work on the social and share features especially.

But I'll talk about that stuff in the upcoming blog. Stay tuned.

@ Mar 11, 10 - 6:08 pm

The OneCMS website has a new post online now on the status of OneCMS 2.6 and there is good news - "OneCMS 2.6 is essentially done". Click below for the full article:

With the upcoming beta release of AdaptCMS and upcoming work on AdaptBB 1.1, it seems time that Insane Visions gets a staff. For those that don't know, for a little while now, it's been run solo. It's worked okay lately but with the work starting on a second script and the lack of updates on this site - it definitely needs more activity and more help.

Also with a planned brand new version of Insane Visions, we will definitely need the help. Let me just start out with the bad news - these positions are not paid. I would love to do it but I make very little ad money as it is and not even close to enough to pay for staff, it supports hosting and domain costs. (and even then, hardly) Down the road where I do envision this as a company or when the site becomes profitable, then it'd happen - but not right now.

If you are still interested here is what I'm looking for:

• Programmers: This is of course needed the most. Right now I'm looking for any amount I can get, but preferably 2 to help share the load. I do program in the old style PHP (not OOP), so that is a necessity. I would expect at least 6 months, preferably 1 year experience and a given that you know HTML/CSS/etc.
• Freelancer: If you just want to contribute every once in a while, a tutorial, news about the PHP/tech world or that - look at the link below.
• Article Writer: Basically a freelancer except you are a regular contributor.
• Promoter/Misc: One thing we need is to get the word out. I'll do what I can, but we need someone that is better at it then I am. ;)

How to Apply: If you are interested in any of the above or would like to help out in another way, fill out the below form:

Staff Application

Thank you.

I realized with all this AdaptCMS 2.0 talk for some time now I should update with AdaptBB as well. Part of the reason besides the fact that 100% of my effort is going into AdaptCMS right now, there are some upcoming insanevisions.com features I may put into the next version of AdaptBB - AdaptBB 1.1.

Brainstorming (the first process) will finally begin soon and a blog should be up by the end of the month updating on the progress. Just a small heads up that AdaptBB is not dead and infact has quite a future!

@ Feb 16, 10 - 4:12 pm

With some new features being worked on, in AdaptCMS 2.0, we've uploaded some shots which you can checkout at the below page:

AdaptCMS 2.0 Gallery

There are 4 pictures up now with a lot more coming by the time you see this post. Be sure to keep an eye on that page along with InsaneVisions.com/AdaptCMS.com with more information upcoming.
