Progress has slowed after 2.0.1 was released, partially as a break and also trying to figure out which features would end up in which versions. This stalled progress quite a bit but work on AdaptCMS 2.0.2 has slowly started including already with a huge feature that will be basic to start with but will be expanded in future AdaptCMS versions, phpbb integration. This is a feature I have wanted to do for really years all the way back to OneCMS. It is already functioning right now, a basic login that checks/validates/logs you into your phpbb build as well as your website. Registration will also be included, but further integration will not be done yet.

There have also been some bugs fixed including a glitch with the URL set for plugins. Talking about plugins too there will probably be several in the version including forum builder, likely rss importer and possibly a new one.

That's all I can say for now, it's not much but if substantial work can be done in the next week then I'll be posting a blog to talk about some of the new/updated stuff. The delay has also been because of a brand new website I'm launching shortly which I will also be posting about, it will be using AdaptCMS and be sporting that integration with phpBB.

Until next time.

Just a quick note thanks to a tip from someone (don't want to mention who without permission) a security hole has been discovered in AdaptCMS. It was in the config.php and involved just a few bits of code, one bit that cleans out COOKIES and such that should of been at the top of the file and the other bit that determined if a page was a frontend or backend one. This allowed XSS scripting to gain access to say the admin page without having proper access.

That's why all users of AdaptCMS 2.0.1 are recommended to immediately update your 'config.php' file. This can be done easily without downloading from anywhere, simply login to your admin area and at the top click on "Get the latest AdaptCMS Files". Then simply select the checkbox next to config.php and click proceed at the bottom and you should get a success message.

Thank you.

Insane Visions is excited to announce the next release, AdaptCMS 2.0.1 now available for download.

Despite being a "minor version", this release still packs quite a bit more than we originally planned. The biggest part is a whole lot of bugs fixed, from the mod_rewrite to the plugins being fixed and in many other areas. Another part was the security was enhanced, not just improving it in the social area of the site but a newly implemented "SALT" method. This makes it extremely difficult for anyone to hack your website and gain entry as the salt password is randomly generated for each Adapt website and unless they gain access to your MySQL backend, they can't get password hashes. The third part is of course the features!

One new feature is the plugins feature was worked on and along with it is new plugins to 2.0 "Sitemap", "TinyURL" and "Affiliates". These let you generate a sitemap on your website automatically for search engines, tinyurl simply gives you short URL's for any link you wish and affiliates is a link manager of sorts, letting you keep a list of affiliates which you can also track traffic out. Administration for the Social feature of Adapt is also now in, letting staff manage user blogs as well as upload new avatars that can be used or delete ones users have uploaded. 

There are also many minor features such as being able to select an author when managing content, now being able to leave comments on static pages, new main ACP page (matches version, shows latest news and notes), forgot password feature, two different date formats (june 9, 11 or 5 mins ago), timzone selector and much more.

With a short release period expect to see the next version, AdaptCMS 2.0.2, in the next month-month and a half.
