Arena CMS - progress
Published | 13.21, 8th of January 2009, by Jay Vincent | Technical
For about a month now, I've been developing a custom content management system, which I've have named 'Arena', and I thought I would share my progress.
In a nutshell, its a multi-user, multiple-permissions, multi-function, ajax-based content management system. It consists of various modules which behave independently of each other, so only relevant modules need be included at configuration. These modules are:
- Arena Access
This module manages the users of the arena system and their permissions - Asset Management
Handles the upload and management of user-uploaded images, videos, audio and documents. Can also dynamically resize images. - News
This module manages the posting of news articles. - Case Studies
This module manages the posting and ordering of case studies. - Pages
The most in depth module, this manages the creation of, editing of and deleting of static pages, aswell as the structure of the website navigation.
I have other modules planned (like ecommerce and statistics modules) but for now, I think I've got enough to work on.
Arena's first deployment will be the re-launch of software company website, who's web editors are currently struggling to cope with the wordpress system installed. The relaunch will happen Spring 2009.
