Site wise there has been addition, improvements, changes, etc. and with the store and download area, Insane Visions essentially reached v3.5, however all the changes lately, I figured it warranted a new blurb about it, making it version 4 of the site.

There are quite a bit of tweaks but I want to first get to the biggest changes. First off, the font size. Being real simple about it...it was too small. A lot of content is on IV and it just seemed crammed and small. The next big change (will be) the upgraded store. I have nothing to say about it because the changes are only in the "thought" process, but the current system needs some changing.

The last "big" change, as I'm sure you have also noticed, is the homepage. The content area has been widened, homepage items are more attractive with more details. As for other upcoming changes, possibly a search box, podcast and a lot more. Hope you enjoy the new version!

A new tutorial is now up, covering the PHP Mail function. From sending an HTML E-mail to just the basics of sending out mail with PHP, our tutorial has it covered, enjoy!

Sending Mail with PHP

And just to note, this tutorial is separate from the current poll. I've been working on this, but there will be another tutorial soon with the winner of the poll.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all viewers enjoy today and of course enjoy your presents and stay safe. However unlike a lot of sites on the web we practically never take vacations. We'll be posting, hopefully, the AdaptCMS Lite v1.0 Beta soon after Christmas and a tutorial or two.

Merry Christmas! 

There hasn't been much talk about the upcoming OneCMS v2.5 and I wish it could of been released earlier, but the good news is that it will be out before the new year! To squash out some bugs a beta is now up. By the time you sign-up, you should have instant access to download it.

Beta Signup Page

As with the AdaptCMS Lite v1.0 Beta, simply go to that page and you will have only a few details to fill out. You must be a registered member here at Insane Visions, so make sure you are logged in (if not, then register).

When downloaded simply upload all the files, edit "config.php" with your MySQL info and run install.php in your browser, you can even upgrade a pre-existing version of OneCMS! Enjoy! 

Insane Visions is and has been running on both AdaptCMS and AdaptBB for a little while now. But I wanted to post tonight because of some maintenance that's underway.

Support

First up is the old "Support" system. It's not bad and it works, but has some problems. Firstly I put in a paginator, 10 support items per page. I removed where only Staff could see closed tickets, a lot of closed tickets answer some common problems. All of the mentioned is up right now, but there is more work left on it. For one, right now you submit a ticket and I can answer. You can't edit it with a further response or anything like that, I'll be fixing that.

Contact Us

Next up, not as much to talk about, is the Contact Us page. It had my aim, msn and yahoo listed, that's it. Now I have that, with links as well as a full form to contact IV.

The AdaptCMS Pro and AdaptCMS Lite demos are now online. AdaptCMS Pro is a bit away from Beta status, missing some of the exclusive features Lite does not have. AdaptCMS Lite, on the other hand, is very close to a beta status.

Crucial features like deleting/editing users, deleting/editing settings and such are disabled to prevent against malicious users. Check it out!
