Step By Step Setup And Installing CMS Made Simple 1.5.2 Linux CentOS

CMS Made Simple is an open source (GPL) package, built using PHP that provides website developers with a simple, easy to use utility to allow building small-ish (dozens to hundreds of pages), semi-static websites. Typically our tool is used for corporate websites, or the website promoting a team or organization, etc. This is where we shine. There are other content management packages that specialize in building portals, or blogs, or article based content, etc. CMS Made Simple can do much of this, but it is not our area of focus.

The Core package provides the ability to manage news articles, search functionality a contact form, a WYSIWYG editor (for your customers or editors) and numerous other built in functions. Additionally, there are hundreds of third party add-on tools that are quickly and easily installable to allow building websites with many different capabilities.

CMS Made Simple is now available for download. This is just a bugfix release, with little in the way of enhancements…. but a large number of bugs have been fixed…. Some of them were in the forge… some of them we found on our own or were reported by valued members.

The only real new feature in 1.5.2 is the {page_image} plugin which makes it simple to use the image and thumbnail content attributes.

Many thanks to the development team for their hundreds of hours of testing and debugging, without them, this package would be nowhere near as stable and feature rich as it is.

Diff packages are available for convenience in upgrading from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2.
