So, another commit.
Today i have to say that toendaCMS becames ever more sexier. The components system is finished and has for the first time two small components, a calendar module for the sidebar and the known webcam module from Aren Slootweg for the content AND the sidebar.
More: the knowledgebase is up to 90percent finish, i have build in a better javascript menu for the backend navigation, the administration themes is finish (i have included a second admin theme called orange), a new iconset is now in and i have started to include some nice AJAX features. Also i have improved some backend modules.
Here is the list of all improvments:

• Components System with a calendar module and the known webcam module
• Knowledgebase, a FAQ and article manager
• New nackend navigation with JSCookMenu
• Administration themeable
• FamFamFam silk iconset
• some nice AJAX features
• some backend improvments

Furthermore i want to say welcome to our new betatester Christian Lawrenz – welcome to the toendaCMS team.

In the past week i have fixed over 80 bugs. Most responsible of that successfull week is the bug hunt started 7 days ago. We have now a better installer, working in 2 languages (english/german) and with a polished layout. It’s now easier to choose your database engine and/or make a update of your toendaCMS installation The WYSIWYG editor tinyMCE is reworked with some new features (only enabled) like a preview view, a fullscreen mode and something special more.
Between the tinyMCE editor i have worked more on the NO-WYSIWYG editor. It has now a image toolbar and works more smarter.

All global settings, the database settings and the userpage settings are now integrated in one site-settings page, cuted with a tab controled layout. changes on one tab by clicking on the next tab can be saved. Also the two extension contactform and guestbook, both with a small selection of settings.

Amidst the bug hunt i refine existing features, but one ore two new features were added too.

This process bring toendaCMS up from the version number 0.6.5 to a bigger one. The next version has now the version number 0.7. This release does’nt deserve a “half after 0.6 and half from 0.7″ verison, i deserve a full number.
As release date is the 24. December 2005 planned. X-Mas, as a present from Toenda Software Development and myself.

Ok, commit number four. First i’ll gave a overview about the current development steps and state. I have used the last days with many hours of working on some cool features and routine bugfixing. After that (ok, ok – currently we still have a building lot … ) we have some cool and usefull new features.This features includes a basic newsletter function and a usefull feature to have more control about a website using toendaCMS.
Start with the newsletter basics:
Some users wanted a function to unsubscribe from the newsletter list by sending a email with a “NO NEWSLETTER PLEASE” tag inside. And now we have this posibility. I have developed a automatically and a button-press way to check your mailserver for this mails. You can enable and disable the automatically function.
As a pretty side-effect i have now a base for the email blogging functionality and – if we (the users of toendaCMS) want – a base for a intern webmailer to check your emails. But i dont work on these webmail module at this time. Only the mail blogger is a feature for one of the next releases.
So, next the better website control module:
You know services like Blogcounter or software like mint? Information services and software to gain more control of your website and see statistics about users and guests. The amount of all site clicks, all unique clicks, browsersoftware and operating systems of your website guestsand many other data for your information. toendaCMS supports now this identity control with its own statistics module. It’s not so good as mint but we have now a good base to expand it’s functionality.
And the first step to a good workflow engine:
This means that i finished the first working version of the toendaCMS desktop with an overview of all not published news and documents and all unfinished documents.

For the future i have planned a cookie login to let a user loged in if he want it and a completly recode of the bad-ass guestbook with a better administration (yes, in the administration backend) and the sql database support.
