mojoPortal 2.3.0.1
Open source web site framework and content management system written in C# more>> Open source web site framework and content management system written in C#
mojoPortal, is an open source web site framework and content management system written in C# that runs under Mono on Linux or Mac OS X or under ASP.NET on Windows.
You can think of mojoPortal as a Starter Kit for Advanced ASP.NET Portals and Web Sites.
Out of the box, mojoPortal provides dynamic database driven web site(s) with an XHTML compliant Content Management System and community features like Blogs, Forums, Image Galleries, etc.
Main features:
- Runs under Mac OS X, Windows/IIS or mono/Apache with most GNU/Linux distributions
- Works with MS SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird Sql, and SQLite databases
- Host multiple sites on 1 installation and db with host names
- XHTML Compliant Content Management with support for work flow and approval/publishing process
- Enter content with the FCKeditor , TinyMCE, or XStandard HTML WYSIWYG
- Blogs
- Forums
- Image Gallery
- RSS Feed Aggregator
- Event Calendar
- Contact Form
- File Manager - use with caution, provides direct access to the server file system.
- Shared Files module - looks and acts like the File Manager module but stores and manages files in a safe way on the server. Folders are really database items as are the friendly file names. Files are stored securely in a special folder and named using guid strings and a .config extension. This prevents them from being requested or served with a normal http request. Authorized users can download because the module serves them using Response.WriteFile. The module also supports versioning of files.
- User Profile Page - with easily customisable properties
- Member List Page
- Bread Crumbs
- Custom Skinning with support for user selectable skins and individual skins per page
- Flexible Menu system
- Localization - all labels and image alt text comes from a configuration file
- Configurable Whether to Encrypt Passwords
- Configurable Whether Registration requires e-mail confirmation
- Configure use of SSL for the whole Site or per Page
- Send Password Feature (when not using encryption)
- Url Re-writing for mapping friendly Urls to site pages
- Site Search with Role based filtering
- Error logging and optional debug logging
- Support for LDAP Authentication using Active Directory or OpenLDAP
- Support for Windows NTLM authentication
- Support for OpenID authentication
- Support for Windows Live ID authentication
- Personalization with WebParts
- Numerous attractive skins with Table-less CSS layouts
- Site Statistics and Who Is Online
- Poll Feature - currently only available using MS SQL or MySQL
- Survey Feature - currently only available using MS SQL or MySQL
- Newsletter
Enhancements
- Content Versioning
- The Html Content and Blog features now support keeping a history of every edit (like a wiki). You can compare any historical version of the content to the current version and you can restore any version to the editor so that you can restore it as it is by saving it or modify it further then save it. Versioning can be enabled at the feature instance level or it can be enforced site wide from Site Settings or it can be enforced from Web.config. Site administrators and content administrators can delete history but no other roles are allowed to delete the history. The ContentHistory is built into the core so that it does not have to be re-implemented for each feature. Each feature does implement its own UI to show or restore the previous versions, but they leverage common business classes to store and retrieve their history. In the future we will implement versioning for product and offer descriptions in the WebStore, developers may also leverage this in their own features to keep version history for their own feature data. This is one more thing to mark off our Road Map as complete. Next up is a general Content Tagging/Category system that can be re-used across features, and a Content Comment system that can be re-used across features.
- Web Chat using Windows Live Messenger
- See my previous post for more information about the new Chat feature. This was not even on the roadmap but when I saw how easy it was to implement I decided to work on it. It was fun and it only took a few days. One of the things I like best about my job is that I can just decide to work on something for a few days because its fun.
- New PlugNPay Payment Gateway in WebStore thanks to Voir Hillaire
- New Skin - dcarter-bluedesert, based on dcarter-ticktockpro but modified and contributed by Sami Isamil Hassan
- Various minor enhancements based on feedback and fixes for bugs reported in the forums since the last release.
- More progress moving away from ExtJs by implementing some .NET controls for YUI to replace the ones I previously built for ExtJs
- Some of you may have checked out my Site Office UI prototype in the past. Its a separate plug in system than the main content system designed more for a consistent application user interface rather than for creative design like we use for the public facing web site via our skins. You can see the Site Office layout on this site or the demo site if you login and click the "Site Office" link at the top of the page, or you can look at the origianl layout demo for ExtJs here. I still have not implemented any real features for Site Office, but the plug in system itself works and Ive even received emails from developers who have implemented their own plug features using it. I got kind of side tracked off of the Site Office idea partly because I had spent quite a bit of time implementing .NET wrapper cntrols around the ExtJs javascript to make it easy to use and then the ExtJs project changed their license to GPL which is not compatible with our CPL license, so I could no longer get upgrades of ExtJs and include them with mojoPortal. Since then weve been stuck on version 2.0.2 of ExtJs which was the last version they shipped under the LGPL (which was compatible). I had also used a little ExtJs in the Contact Form for the messaage list page. For a long time Ive been thinking I really need to build new .NET wrapper controls with similar functionality but using the YUI javascript instead of ExtJs.
- So again in the name of fun (because I like building .NET controls around javascript) I spent some time implementing some new controls with YUI to replace the ExtJs stuff Ive been using. I have now removed the dependency on ExtJs from the Contact Form feature and Ive got a good start on the layout framework to replace the current SiteOffice. I still have more work to do to finish, but the goal will be to eliminate all use of ExtJs in favor of YUI. The ExtJs javascript we include in mojoPortal is 6.36 MB, so it will reduce the size of our downloads once we no longer need to it. Anyway, you can see the work Ive done so far on the YUI layout here, its very similar as you can see to the current Site Office layout with ExtJs. Once I get some more of the YUI things wrapped up so they are easy to use, I might even change the site administration area so that it uses this kind of layout instead of the site skin.
- New Experimental CKEditor
- Some of you may have noticed that the FCKeditor project has shifted gears from the next upgrade of FCKeditor to their next generation version named CKEditor. I think they are basically taking the good parts from the FCKeditor implementation but doing a new redesign of the implementation using things they have learned and new techniques that have emerged to improve the architecture. The CKEditor does not yet have image upload or server browsing so I have disabled it by default, but anyone who really wants to check it out can un-comment it in the mojoEditor.config file in the root of the web. It really looks just like the FCKeditor but does not have all the functionality yet, I just figured it was good to get started with it so we can be ready as they make imporvements.
