drink 0.0.6

High-level micro CMS inspired by BlueBream (Zope) and Django, with simplicity of use & extend in mind. Based on ZODB & bottle.

Alpha Web framework & sample mini CMS application with little dependencies: ZODB , bottle & markdown. Aims to be quite generic “all-in-one-but-minimalistic” web+database framework.

The main ideas behind

It should handle most of javascript, html & forms creation for you, for very fast prototype implementation.

Then you’r free to put your hands into html/css/js and customize to your precise requirements.

Goals

• Add features at ONE place in ONE language (html/css/js may be required for some advanced/custom usages)

• Be fast, with built-in search engine

• Ajax (ajaj in fact) - with nice fallbacks for old browsers

• No SQL

• Website: as simple as a nested dict-like objects tree, endpoints (last element of URL) are object’s properties & methods

• Make it as productive as possible for most generic tasks

Out of the box, it is something between a wiki and a cms, probably a good base for a lightweight web CMS / Intranet / Forum / etc…

Main Features

• Designed to be simple, little knowledge involved

• Built-in search engine

• Automatic object edition’s form generation

• Multi-user with access control (group based) at each level

• Automatic “views” of your content, with regard to each object permissions

• Webpage edition live preview, client-side form validation

• Comes with some pre-developped objects:

  • folder index (sortable with D&D)

  • file (upload your own file, also allows D&D)

  • Web page ( markdown only )

  • Simple TODO list/TODOs (WIP)

  And of course special elements like Groups & Users ….

• Very user friendly (once doc will be there…)

Issues

• no documentation yet (default manager account, login/password: admin/admin )

• no auto tests yet

• not very powerful yet

Release changes

• Update to Jquery 1.5

• Update the indexer to use Whoosh

• Fixes about Groups & ACLs

• Add a link to the search object in tool bar

• Easy to use (high-level) permissions options
