Re: [PHP] project management php system
I've developed PrattCMS... (Try out the latest RC, it's quite stable and note that 2.0 will be out later today or tomorrow depending...). It's: -GPL'ed -PHP/MySQL (Could support other databases, with small amount of work.) -Has an error reporting class to send notes when a db query fails (by e-mail). -Has an in-line WYSIWYG editor that runs in IE 5.5+ and Mozilla 1.3+. -Has a _really_ easy way to install/switch templates. -Uses .xml files that exist inside the right directory to get information about each template. -Creating a new template is easy... just look at the four provided, use smarty templates, and look at and *.xml file in the templates/ directory. -Switching templates is as easy as clicking 1 button. -Has customizable style-sheet values. -Works fine with web spiders (uses ?id=num to get different files). -Doesn't require register_globals (never tested with register_globals on... ought to work though). -Has user groups so that only certain users are allowed to create new users/edit site-wide configuration/change templates and you can even restrict which pages they are allowed to modify as well as whether they are allowed to create new pages or not. -Has a front-page module so you can have an entry page (you can disable by emptying the modules table, but then you'll have to make a simple modification so that your home page will exist... you can ask me later if you want) -You can backup all your information (pages, database configuration, downloads you've uploaded, images you've uploaded... requires --with-zlib) -Has stats: Number of visitors, Country graph of where you're users come from, Browser detection, Most visited pages, Where the users came from, Graph of Hourly visits (does _not_ require GD). -Has a SELECT only Database viewer that runs in PEAR::DB (just like the rest of the CMS). It shouldn't be too hard to customize if you need to. You can create new templates/etc., obviously for yourself.

[PHP] Large PHP Project... Need Project Manager
