Digitalus CMS

Digitalus CMS is a new kind of CMS. The focus of this open source project is usable software as opposed to endless lists of features. We added a very flexible API to this base so you can customize virtually any aspect of the system. This creates a simple and elegant platform that you can use for a wide range of sites and requirements.

What’s New?

Digitalus 18

We had two main focuses with Digitalus 1.8:

  • Updating the core CMS to use the updated Zend Framework and its Application classes.
  • Make designing Digitalus sites a more straightforward process.

With much thanks to Lowtower we rebuilt the core CMS around Zend_Application. This new structure will make the software package easier to manage, customize, and maintain.

Then we refactored the whole templating system; version 1.5 made it very flexible, but it was unwieldy. 1.8 makes designing and implementing creative designs a very straightforward process. Check out our design tutorial to see the changes first hand. Once this was in place Igor helped out by updating the admin interfaces to use the Grid 960 component and the new template structure.

Digitalus 15

Version 1.5 brings Digitalus CMS a number of key features that have been requested time and time again over the last year.

  • Translatable admin interface
  • Multi-language versions of pages
  • Flexible design manager
  • Intuitive media and file manager
  • Completely refactored core
  • Fine grained control over security and permissions

What Digitalus CMS can do for you

Designers

Digitalus CMS uses a very flexible and easy to develop template model. It takes about 5 minutes to convert a well designed XHTML page to a template.

Developers

Digitalus CMS is built on the Digitalus Site Framework which combines the Zend PHP framework and the jQuery JavaScript library. The combination of these three tools with a simple and intuitive interface makes developing custom content driven websites easier than ever.

Site Managers

Digitalus CMS makes managing your site easy and fun. It offers a rich but not overwhelming feature set that helps make your job easier without taking the control out of your hands.

A thanks to the community

We would like to take a moment to thank the open source developers and projects that form the foundation of Digitalus cms. Without the Zend Framework, jQuery JavaScript library, the FckEditor, and everyone else we never would have been able to create this system. Thanks so much from all of us…The Digitalus Team

The future of this project

There has never been a more excting time to be a PHP developer. WIth the Zend Framework coming of age we now have a set of well architected and tested tools that would make a .NET programmer green with envy.

We look forward to developing the Digitalus cms based on your input, not what other similar systems offer. Keep the feedback coming and we will keep producing the most usable software we can!
