For full disclosure, I'm not a programmer or an experienced tech guy, but part of a non technical team of folks who started using midgard back in 2000/2001.
We already have a huge amount of content developed and integrated into an earlier version (1.4) of midgard as well as a number of custom developed projects that can operate inside the CMS environment. We'd like to do 2 things: 1. Are there significant improvements since 1.4 to justify the hassle of updating to the newest version? Can anyone point out some of the biggest improvements so we can evaluate if we should bother to update? Also, if we update, is there a way we can do it easily and seamlessly? 2. Most importantly, we would like to integrate a crm/contact mgmnt system like xrms (http://xrms.sourceforge.net/)into midgard that would allow us to develop an asp (application service provider) product with multiple modules. However, the problem with bringing an existing application into midgard is a couple of things. The biggest problem is the include systems. Midgard has only one system of includes while php has a number of them. Php has conditional includes and Midgard does not. Then there is the issue of having seperate user authentication systems and seperate user databases. The best thing is to have one system. One username and one password. Its better for the user. Is there a work around to accomplish these things, and if so, what do we need to do? Otherwise We'll actually have to code it into midgard and write all the sql queries and essentially build a complete crm application from scratch Can anyone provide some feedback on these two issues? 1. to update or not 2. integrating other gpl applications, like crm into midgard with the includes issues, seperate authentication systems and seperate user data bases.
