I know the lack of updates the past few weeks may be taken by some that little work has been done and/or AdaptCMS 1.3 won't be out for a while longer, but they're wrong, infact AdaptCMS Lite/Pro 1.3 will release this week! Practically most of the past few weeks has been spent slowly starting on AdaptBB, but mostly working on the big Read Me that will be premiering in AdaptCMS 1.3.

With AdaptCMS 1.3 being now the second large version in a row, you can expect a lot of new things! Exclusive in Pro 1.3 are two new plugins - TinyURL and Form Builder, as well as Support Search 1.1. Both Lite and Pro welcome an enhance Statistics module, informative and large Read Me, a revolutionary new "File Release System" and so much more!

You can see a full list of what's coming in 1.3 at AdaptCMS.com.

We've had a lot going on lately here at Insane Visions! AdaptCMS 1.3 is going to be released in the coming few weeks, AdaptBB is back in development, we're working on a few tutorials that will be online soon and OneCMS v2.6 is coming.

That's two active scripts (AdaptCMS, AdaptBB), one semi-active script (OneCMS) and all the while keeping updated on Insane Visions, a lot of work! So we are looking for some help. Here is what we are looking for:

• Programmers: This is the main need. If you are a PHP programmer with at least 1 year of experience, keep reading to see the link to give us a call. We also expect you are proficient in HTML of course as well as basics of MySQL. If you help out with AdaptCMS you do get paid, but don't expect a lot. ($30/copy - 1/3 goes to site, the rest is split between the programmers)
  
• Freelancer: If you'd like to just help out every so often, read ahead. If you want to write a tutorial every so often or want to keep the IV readers updated on the going-ons of the PHP/Tech world.
• Article Writer: Lastly if you are interested in writing tutorials or news (not related to IV), you may want to become an Article Writer.

How to Apply: If you are interested in any of the above or would like to help out in another way, checkout the following page:

Staff Application

Be sure to fill in your name, email and select the subject "Join the Staff". In the message enter the position your interested in and a bit of background as well as any messenger handlers. Thank you!

First up is last month's poll results:

After installing a CMS, what do you look for?
Other 0%

Easy-to-use admin panel 34.6%

Cool frontend layout 19.2%

Some help to get started 23.0%

A thorough Read Me 15.3%

Votes: 26

Thanks everyone for voting! This months poll is up, asking the question: Which forum software do you use?

With the release of AdaptCMS 1.3 approaching in the next two weeks, we've calmed down a bit before launch, getting work done on other websites.

However all that is left to do is finish the Read Me and release. Expect to see several tutorials up this month (feel free to post suggestions) as well.

We here at Insane Visions are excited to announce the fourth beta of AdaptCMS Lite. For this beta the process is even easier than ever before! First you must be a registered member, you can register if you're not. Then all you have to do is view the link down below and signup to become a beta tester:

AdaptCMS Lite 1.3 Beta - Download

The AdaptCMS Lite 1.3 Beta long with all previous beta's are available at that link.

The AdaptCMS Lite 1.3 Beta is the fifth Beta of AdaptCMS and fourth of AdaptCMS Lite, taking content management to the next level with no cost whatsoever! We hope to release the script within the next few weeks, along with AdaptCMS Pro.

Be sure to keep tuned into adaptcms.com for the latest updates.

After quite a long time thinking about it, I eventually decided to renew adaptbb.com and start the project back up. It was just about two years ago that it was announced and I just felt that I would eventually be doing a forum script and AdaptBB (as well as adaptbb.com) is a good name.

I wish I could say more, but all else I can say is that the script will be practically re-written, possibly with some OOP. It will be a lightweight forum system that will come built to be integrated into other CMS systems or standalone. In all likelyhood it will be released under GNU GPL as an Open Source script.

That's about it. Be sure to keep an eye out for it, I will be posting blogs about it here. Also checkout AdaptBB.com, it will be updated shortly with this info and more.

The beta system seems to be re-done every so often, but hopefully this one stays as-is! Although signing up for individual Beta's worked alright, participation was somewhat low so the beta signup is now consists of signing up just once!

This means after you sign up to become a beta tester, any past and future Beta's will be available for you to participate in right away. All you have to do is go to the beta area - Beta Signup. Once signed up, you can visit the same page to download Beta's. You will also see a link to the Beta Area on the top right, the control panel.

The only requirement we ask to become a beta tester is that you are a member. If you're not, be sure to register or login and head onto the Beta Signup!

I hadn't planned on continuing OneCMS but I have decided to develop and release a new version of OneCMS, v2.6. I'm unsure at this point how large of a version it will be, I'm expecting it to mostly be bug fixes and security enhancements at this point - but that could change.

It's been surprising how well OneCMS continues to do and is downloaded and installed numerous times daily. In the new version of OneCMS, also expect to see some features re-done or enhanced, but I'm not sure at this point of some kind of release.

If you have any suggestions or thoughts, feel free to post in the forums or leave a comment.

I'm excited to announce the launch of the brand new PHP CMS Reviews website! At PHP CMS Reviews we are constantly adding the top PHP CMS's so you can find the right CMS for you.

Besides just basic information for each CMS in our database, we also will be posting the latest news about them and have a demo online for each one!

Shortly we'll be adding reviews for each and every CMS along with even more information. Be sure register so you can comment on the experiences you've had with any of the CMS's and feel free to add a review.

I know the flow of articles and the like has been slow lately, but that's going to be changing. I got to finally release AdaptCMS v1.2 and I'll get some time to start on a few tutorials.

Be sure to vote on our new poll too, this month we're asking what style of PHP you code in - Standard, OOP (Object-Oriented), Depending on the Script or you don't know PHP.

Be sure to check out AdaptCMS v1.2 in the meanwhile and stay tuned, we're going to be having a new website part of the Insane Visions network! Happy coding.
