WordPress MU 2.7 released
Finally, after much holding of breath and anticipation, WordPress 2.7 and its swanky interface comes to MU-world. Yay!
As is typical with the quasi-underground nature of WordPress MU, version 2.7 wasn’t so much announced as… became apparent. ie. if you happened to download it you’d find the version number was different. A WordPress MU forum thread showed the general confusion about whether 2.7 was still in beta, or an actual stable release:

Anyway at first sight everything seems to be working fine after an update from WordPress MU 2.6. Plugins, even home-grown ones are doing their thing. I guess one of the main advantages of using a fork which is typically a couple of months behind the vanilla-WordPress is that any regularly-updated plugins and themes you may already be using will generally ‘just work’ with a new version of WordPress MU.

WordPress MU (WPMU) is a great tool. It’s basically a fork from the main WordPress software that lets you set up and maintain potentially vast numbers of blogs from a single codebase.

Cross-site request forgery (XSRF). It’s something that’s becoming a big issue in internet security, and yet is still relatively poorly understood by many developers.

Hooked into Drupal

In my last blog I mentioned how Drupal really does seem to offer more than just the ability to get a simple site up and running quickly. Framework When you look at Drupal more closely you realise one key thing: it’s not really a CMS, it’s a framework. Granted, nothing quite like Symfony in terms of its level of
Drupal as an enterprise CMS?

I’ve been looking a lot recently at Drupal not just as an open source CMS, but as a viable enterprise level CMS. Despite my earlier misgivings I think Drupal has a lot going for it, and it may be that over the next couple of years it will become a much bigger force in
MySource Matrix and Squiz

I’ve been looking recently at an open source enterprise CMS called MySource Matrix. It’s written in PHP5, and unusually for open source CMS actually seems to be able to cope well at enterprise level. It’s built from the ground up on an asset basis. Everything is an asset: users, content, permissions, workflow. The whole lot.
Open Source CMS?

You can spend a lot of money on buying a licensed CMS. And then spend a lot more money on support for that product. Or you can get something for free, and spend the money you would have spent on support… on support. Does that sound ridiculously obvious? Few institutions and companies (curiously) feel comfortable with the thought that a free product could ever be as good as an expensive one, even though all the evidence is beginning to suggest quite the contrary is true.
