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!

With the announcement that AdaptCMS 1.4 would be delayed, I did want to get a start on it with the features already thought of and luckily I was able to. Some of the features already done in AdaptCMS 1.4 aren't "huge" but useful.

• Pagination - For the front main page and section pages, this has been something important missing so visitors can see all past articles.
• Users Online - Pretty small but users and guests online have been adjusted so that the # of users online is more efficient and guests online now includes bots. When listing users online, it does list bots.
• Comments Quote - Another small but nifty feature, you simple click on "Quote" by the comment you want to quote and it inserts the comment within quote tags into the text area, just making commenting easier.
• Admin Search - Suggested to me not long ago, located above the "Support Search" feature, you can easily search articles, comments, fields, files, galleries, pages, settings, templates and users.
• Postpone Article - This is a feature in OneCMS, but much better. You can select a date and time for the article to be published at that time. Before that time it will only be visible in the admin panel, but can be manually published at any time.

It may or may not seem like a lot, it isn't that much though it's some nifty useful stuff so far. This blog today is kind of like a "micro-blog", just briefly describing some of the new features, in this case just what's done so far.

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!

@ Aug 15, 08 - 11:24 am

Today we have here for you a new blog on a few of the biggest features that you will be seeing in AdaptBB 1.0. Here you go:

"With the announcement of AdaptBB finally going under serious development for the first time in over 2 years, the release of AdaptBB 1.0 is finally going to happen and the work continues.

When it was decided that AdaptBB would be happening, it was then of course time to start the brainstorming. Whereas the CMS market is competitive, but has some holes and much to expand on, the forum market is practically locked up tightly but the two most popular - phpBB (open source) and vBulletin (paid)."

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.

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.

@ Jun 13, 08 - 1:12 pm

Editors Note: With our new blog here at AdaptCMS.com, we'll be doing some mini-blogs about new features upcoming and recently finished, ideas and such. Expect to see them a few times a month!

It's been now a little over a month since the release of AdaptCMS 1.2 and a few weeks since the last blog and it seems like release is so far away. When working on v1.2 it seemed like it was going to be the only major version (other than 1.0) until 1.5, now it seems that I was wrong.

Whether or not 1.3 is a Major version really depends on whether User Subscriptions make it in or not. I really would like to try to get it in, it would delay release, but at the same time the Read Me isn't exactly close to being finished at this point and the extra time would be useful.

Although I don't know when 1.3 will be out, I can say it won't be for a little while (a Beta will probably be out in late June or early-mid July) and that there are still quite a bit left to do, but it already feels like a major version!

When working on v1.2 there were numerous features thought of that were pushed to v1.3, several of which are major and done already."

After a week without posting, I feel I need to post something and I have a bit of something to reveal.

I'm always pretty quiet about the progress of AdaptCMS (always thinking how it could be incorporated into the site) and aside from a blog about the features in the next version, it's a mystery until release. (same with OneCMS) However, v1.2 of AdaptCMS will (kind of) be a major version.

I say this because several things like stats and polls have been re-structured as well as several core features, cookies have been switched to sessions and several major features are awaiting to be done, including Subscriptions, which would make big changes. I hate to call 1.2 a "Major Version", but it is not a minor upgrade. I'll call it a "mini, major version".

I'll be doing another blog about site making, if you have any suggestion on what to cover or suggestions for what our next tutorial should be, leave a comment or contact us.
