Actually, Habari has support for something called "content types" – this basically means that you're not limited to just pages or entries. Already, there is an "event" content type, with the infrastructure to create more through plugins. The extensible content-types, the easy manipulation through FormUI, and the flexible template system make Habari an ideal system for developing all kinds of content. Instead of trying to coral this into custom fields, I think we'd rather see a variety of plugins developed for various types. > > Widgets ready themes and templating system . We have a template system.
Instead of specifically building widgets, we're working on a flexible "hardpoint" system. This system would allow plugins to provide output to themes, which users could then control. Themes are a priority for 0.7 (I think) and I'm working on a branch to tackle this. > simple feature as uploading or locating the plugin and themes as a > Zip file , unziping and getting them ready to work ( as Dotclear > and Joomla ) . We're working on a plugin directory. On the client-side, see the HPM plugin – it seems to be moving in this direction. > Multi-sites Installation one admin panel ( Dotclear , and some > others ) . I agree, but expect you'll see a lot of opposition to the idea. How our multi-site system is designed currently, the _only_ thing which is shared between sites is the source code. I think this merits careful and thoughtful discussion, especially from those who originally developed the system. > Designing the needed sections ( as Symphony > http://21degrees.com.au/products/symphony/ > i came cross this amazing one months ago , and the idea is awesome > indeed try the demo . usually i do such thing with wordpress instead > using the plugins i made ,i use custom fields and template tags to > create the site i need just based on templating the idea . but that > comes now with an ease with Symphony ) . I think that's trying to coral more functionality into Habari than is needed. Really, for the sort of things in there ("controller" anyone?) a full-blown framework would be best. First and foremost, Habari is a blog engine. That being said, we *do* have an amazing plugin architecture which allows for all kinds of things to be made (anything, really). However, I am very-much opposed to bloating Habari with framework functionality which should really be in plugins. > My major interest now is about widgets , is there any plugin can do > the trick ?!
