Hi, Congratulations!
It's a wonderful project! Nico 2010/2/12 Tom Boutell <t...@punkave.com> > We have labored long and hard to prepare for the 1.0 release of > Apostrophe. As we said before, it has been stable and in use for a > long time now, but we wanted to mark a moment in time with an official > release. > > Probably the easiest way to get a feel for Apostrophe is to go to our > demo site and log in: > > http://demo.apostrophenow.com/ > > The user name is “admin” and the password is “demo”. The site's > content resets at the top of the hour. > > If you want to get your bearings before you you do that, head over to > the newly revamped Apostrophe site: > > http://www.apostrophenow.com/ > > For the very interested, you should consider checking out our > extensive README which includes an Installation section, an Editor’s > guide, a Designer’s guide and a Developer’s guide. You can read the > current README conveniently here: > > http://www.apostrophenow.com/home/readme > > This is the symfony-users list so I'll stick to the highlights from a > developer's perspective: > > * Robust content slots, ready-built for you. There are rich text, > image, slideshow, video, button, RSS/Atom feed, PDF and raw HTML slots > built in. If you have used Apostrophe before, you know that you can > add a slot on a page, choose what you want to place and then reorder > it. New custom slots can also be made for any project. > > * Areas. Areas allow vertical columns of slots to be added in any > order by any editor of the site. This allows users to compose good- > looking content without resorting to layout-busting HTML pasting. > > * Slot variants. Sometimes you want to let users pick between > variations on a common slot without using raw HTML or PHP. For > instance, what if you wanted to make the background color of a some > text slots yellow, and some white? In the past that would have > required two slots. Now, it can just be a selectable variantof the > same text slot. We really sweated the details on making sure the > option control was contextual. We hope you appreciate the effort. > > * Engines. Sometimes you want to add content that spans more than one > page. In Apostrophe you can graft an entire Symfony module into the > CMS page tree at any point. And you can graft the same module at > multiple locations, distinguishing between them and providing > customized behavior if you wish. We already do this for our media > browser right out of the box so you can see how it works. > > * A task to help you generate new custom slots: > > ./symfony apostrophe:generate-slot-type > > This task will add a new slot type to your site, scaffolding the > module, the form and the model class. > > * Extensive documentation, including a detailed and up-to-date > developer's guide as well as documentation for installers, editors and > front end designers. > > Apostrophe 1.0 is a big achievement and we're excited about it. But it > is also just the beginning. We hope you have an opportunity to check > out Apostrophe. We would love to hear from you if you do. > > A note to developers: stable branches of the apostrophePlugin and the > asandbox project are now available in svn. We are using a 1.3 branch > for these following the tradition of naming branches after the > earliest Symfony version with which they are still compatible. > > 1.3 stable branch of the plugin: > > http://svn.apostrophenow.org/plugins/apostrophePlugin/branches/1.3 > > 1.3 stable branch of the sandbox project: > > http://svn.apostrophenow.org/sandboxes/asandbox/branches/1.3 > > In addition, we have of course released the new apostrophePlugin on > the Symfony site: > > http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/apostrophePlugin > > So you can install apostrophePlugin with "plugin:install" (be sure to > read the README, though; it's often easier to start by copying the > sandbox to your own svn repository with our handy svnforeigncopy tool, > or just download a tarball of our sandbox). > > Note to veteran pk plugin fans: we have deprecated the old pk plugins, > all of which were merged into apostrophePlugin. We removed the > tarballs but left the svn repositories untouched as a courtesy. We > will take them down eventually but don't want to break anyone's > existing projects. Still, now is the time to migrate. > > Don't forget our migration notes for pkContextCMSPlugin projects: > > http://trac.apostrophenow.org/wiki/migration > > Thanks for supporting the development of Apostrophe! And if you're > attending Symfony Live, I (Tom) will be there - be sure to look me up! > > - Tom, Alex, Rick, Geoff, Dan, Jake and John at P'unk Avenue > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "symfony users" group. > To post to this group, send email to symfony-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > symfony-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<symfony-users%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/symfony-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
