We here at Insane Visions are excited to announce the fifth and long-awaited beta of AdaptCMS Lite. To test drive the new beta copy you must first 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 1.4 Beta - Download

The AdaptCMS Lite 1.4 Beta along with all previous beta's are available at that link.

The AdaptCMS Lite 1.4 Beta is the sixth Beta of AdaptCMS and fifth of AdaptCMS Lite, taking content management to the next level with no cost whatsoever! We hope to release the script within the next week or two, along with AdaptCMS Pro.

New to AdaptCMS Lite is an admin search feature, refined online function, expanded pagination, postpone feature, global custom fields and more!

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

Although the hopeful beta release of AdaptCMS 1.4 has been passed, the good news is that it will be out this weekend. Among the changes mentioned previously, two of the biggest additions help make AdaptCMS more adaptable then ever before.

One aspect that I've wanted in for quite a while, global custom fields, finally are now a reality. On the frontpage template (homepage_content), say you want to show an icon as you have a field added for it - no problem. But even more useful, say you have a gaming website and on the review list you want to edit the template (content_list) to show the system the review is for or even the score - no problem.

The usefulness of global custom fields helps make AdaptCMS adaptable to more and more websites as well as making it less and less needed to do custom coding in order to get something to work. You can even use related fields! (for example, a game related to a review...you could display the game summary with a review related to it - continue for the 2nd addition)

Have a safe and happy Christmas! Look out for on Friday/early Saturday some big news about AdaptCMS and enjoy the holidays.

@ Dec 21, 08 - 12:00 am

It's been a long two months and with recent developments I can finally post some good news - the AdaptCMS 1.4 Beta will be releasing soon. There are still a few features left to do, but the beta releasing before the end of the year is a decent chance.

For those that have been following the development of AdaptCMS and/or AdaptBB, I am sorry for the severe lack of updates the past two months and that will be changing. As with 1.3, the beta for AdaptCMS 1.4 will be a mostly public beta - you can get it as long as you are a registered member here and fill in a few fields to become a beta tester.

Already in the new version of AdaptCMS is an admin search feature, refined users/guests online function, pagination for various areas of the frontend, a cool new postpone feature for articles and more. In the meantime of now and beta release will be work on a resize feature for uploading images, article quick edit and a good possibility of for example a game site - linking to a page based on field data. (ex. website.com/area/system-ps3)

Stay tuned for the release of the Beta as well as an update on AdaptBB 1.0.

The updates haven't been coming too often partially because I wanted to wait to have kind of a "big reveal", info AND screen shots. Luckily this is that day!

A demo is still a little ways off, but I can see it happening in a week or at most, two. The possibility of a beta in that time frame is now also a fairly good possibility. That said in this Blog I'll talk about a few of the unique features and usability of AdaptBB. As well, check out the bottom of the article for the brand new frontend screen shots!

For the first time with AdaptCMS, Insane Visions has issued an urgent security fix. This recent security hole was discovered by the group at Milw0rm. Upon hearing about this security hole we immediately fixed the problem in a matter of minutes and are now issuing this fix.

The Security Hole was related to the new "Check User" feature in AdaptCMS Lite 1.3 and AdaptCMS Pro 1.3. When signing up you would enter the username desired, once moving to the password field a box would appear saying whether the username was taken or not. The issue was the PHP that checks to see if the username is taken did not use any safe guards incase of SQL injection. The worst consequence is the stealing of the MD5 hash of a users password but NO passwords themselves were vulnerable to this problem.

This fix is simply one file which goes into the "includes/" folder. We recommend that all AdaptCMS Lite users upload this fixed file immediately. Thank you.

First up is the results of Septembers Poll:

What type of software do you normally use?

@ Sep 21, 08 - 7:57 pm

At least according to TECH.BLORGE that is. OneCMS earned position number 21 on a list of the top 40 open source content management systems (CMS).

Just figured I'd post about this, it's always nice to see your own CMS linked somewhere else in a bigger way than just a normal list of CMS's, but what they considering the best ones. Here is the top 5 along with OneCMS:

1. Joomla - a very  popular open-source CMS that is found at the heart of many well known websites (the United Nations is just one example)

I wanted to pop in to announce the launch of the brand new AdaptBB.com! Here's an excerpt of the announcement:

"Welcome to the brand new AdaptBB.com! The new website for the upcoming PHP Forum script AdaptBB, is running off of AdaptCMS and once the script is in Beta form, will be used right here.

AdaptBB is a bulletin board/forum system written in PHP and MySQL powered that is currently in development. Once released, AdaptBB 1.0 will bring a lot to the new table outside from reputable customer service seen already with other Insane Visions scripts."

The new website is online right this moment, there are still some quirks to work out but well worth a peak!

New AdaptBB.com Launched!

First is August's Poll results:

Which PHP version do you try to adhere by?

@ Aug 29, 08 - 11:19 pm

It's been a little slow lately the past few weeks here at Insane Visions. Working on a script from the ground up (AdaptBB) is quite a tedious task as well as a fun thing to do. The forum script is shaping up quite nicely so far, but there is still a LOT of work to do on the forums themselves, not even including some of the unique features.

With all that said AdaptCMS 1.4 will be delayed. I know an "official release" is never given, but AdaptCMS 1.0-1.3 were released two months apart. However with work on AdaptBB 1.0 as well as another Insane Visions-related website being worked on and various other things, I don't expect to release 1.4 until sometime in October.

At this point we are still brainstorming and we will begin work on the new version shortly, but we would like your feedback! Check out this topic and leave any suggestions for features or anything else you would like to see in AdaptCMS 1.4. Stay tuned!

Here's the results of July's Poll:

Which forum software do you use?

@ Jul 18, 08 - 11:59 am

Insane Visions is happy to announce that AdaptCMS Lite 1.3 and AdaptCMS Pro 1.3 have been released and are available to download/purchase!

AdaptCMS 1.3 follows AdaptCMS Lite/Pro v1.2, which was considered a "major release", 1.3 is a major release as well. New to the table in AdaptCMS 1.3 are a host of new features such as Bot Detection, a new "archive" feature in Statistics, new Read Me file, File Release System, URL List tool and several security enhancements, bug fixes and many more features! Exclusive to AdaptCMS Pro 1.3 are two new plugins - TinyURL and Form Builder.

@ Jul 13, 08 - 6:54 pm

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.
