Now that the new release is out I would like to start building up a community around it (with your help of course), so I have set up a Forum where you can start sharing your thoughts, ideas and get help on implementing and developing new modules, templates and more. Quick support is still here but in the future please use the forum for all your questions/support.
jCore 0.6 Released!
I'm happy to announce jCore 0.6! Marking one year with jCore I thought it was time for a new look too, so besides new modules like Poll, Video gallery and moving to HTML5 we also have a new default template. I'm pretty happy with this new version, it starts to feel more like what I had/have in mind and with the new changes/fixes is the most robust release. Read on for the detailed list of changes if you dare :)
The Webmaster's Multisite CMS
What is it?
jCore is a Multi Site web Content Management System build especially for webmasters (using the well known LAMP environment) who have to maintain multiple websites for their clients and they would like to keep the source codes up to date and easily fix bugs for all clients at once.
jCore has two main systems, jCore Server - which holds all the libraries and modules you can build on, and jCore Client - which is the stripped version of the core system without any libraries as it uses the ones from the core.
Think of jCore server as the library for your site/program and jCore client as the website that you show to the public. In multi site setup you don't even have to install jCore server, just copy the files in a public place where all your client sites can access it and that's it, just like you would build a program by using a library. This way when you upgrade to a new version you just overwrite the old jCore server files with the new ones and all your client sites are already "upgraded".
For more information about both systems please click on the "Learn More" button placed below each system.
Because jCore use a Dynamic Web 2.0 layout, the designer's job is totally separated from the developer as the designer can create new Blocks (divs) from the admin area and define any style (CSS) / script (jQuery) for them and even limit these blocks to be shown only to defined menu items or registered/guest users and even include contents in blocks without having the need for developer to do so.
The developer on the other hand can easily write codes (Modules) that extend the site and let the designer customize these modules using their own css/js files keeping custom scripts/styles separated from the core and enabling portability.
