Use Ajax Redirect in ImpressCMS

Posted in impresscms on September 1st, 2011 by David – Be the first to comment

ImpressCMS introduced a AJAX-based redirect system in series 1.2, which makes your site much quicker to work with. By using this redirect system, notifications and confirmation messages (E.g. ‘Thank you for logging in’) don’t show on a new page any more, but they are presented to the user on a text bubble that is loaded dynamically while the user remains on the same page.

Currently, not that many themes are created that provide this, and you need to explicitly enable it before the functionality becomes available. I’ll explain here the two simple steps you in adding this to your site.

ATTENTION: It has been noted to me that this technique is not needed, as ImpressCMS automatically includes the javascript code required into the <head> section of the page. All that remains to be done then is to enable the Ajax redirect in the settings (STEP 2) read more »

ImpressCMS Vision Published in Compass

Posted in impresscms on July 13th, 2010 by David – Be the first to comment

Every organisation should have a clear vision on what it wants to accomplish. Many organisations (companies, open source projects) make a written statement of that vision, to be used as the ultimate test when discussions arise.

The benefit of such a document is clear : every decision can be tested against it, to verify compliance with the end goal. After some internal discussion and fine-tuning, the ImpressCMS is proud to present its Compass to the world. This should give you an idea of what the project stands for, in case it wasn’t clear enough until now.

ImpressCMS Trac migration to Sourceforge

Posted in impresscms on May 9th, 2010 by Administrator – Be the first to comment

After getting increasingly dissatisfied with the service from Codesion, ImpressCMS decided to switch to another provider. We had few requirements, and so we started searching for a solution based upon those:

  • free or affordable for our budgets
  • Subversion
  • Trac

We also thought of the possibility of doing the hosting ourselves, but that would mean an investment of time and effort, which would be unavailable for other tasks. Overall, we thought it was best to let specialized service providers handle that kind of non-core activity. read more »

WordPress plugins get stamp of approval

Posted in impresscms, Web on December 8th, 2009 by David – Be the first to comment

It simply had to happen, with more than 6000 plugins on the official Extend site: the WordPress main developers are considering a way to lead the users of the popular blogging platform to the best-in-class plugins.

The plugins would be developed by the community, but there will be a specific category indicating that they are considered best-in-class, and that the compatibility with a new release is guaranteed.

The risk with this type of presentation is that the users will limit themselves to those best-in-class plugins, and that many developers read more »
