mojoPortal 2.3.2.9 Released

mojoPortal 2.3.2.9 improves the Newsletter feature as follows:
- Users can subscribe to Newsletters without registering on the site.
- A Newsletter Sign Up feature has been implemented so that you can put it on any page(s) you like and configure it with various settings to control what is displayed.

MODx Evolution 1.0.1
Even though I've wanted to focus more on MODx in this blog, I have to say I haven't done a very good job bringing this CMS and content management framework up for discussion. With the release of MODx Evolution 1.0 and the upcoming release of MODx Revolution 2.0 I have no doubt we'll be seeing more headlines for MODx.
Last week, MODx Evolution 1.0.1 was released. This release contains enough security improvements and bug fixes that the MODx developers consider the update a "mandatory upgrade" for any site running previous releases of MODx Evolution/0.9.X.
Some of the new features and improvements in MODx 1.0.1 include:
Security
Multiple areas have been improved to help protect against unlikely but possible CSRF attacks in the Manager. In addition, Ajax Search has been updated to version 1.8.4 which prevents content injection when JS is off in the browser and the Manager password reminder has been updated to prevent forged logins under different usernames.
ManagerManager
Manager Manager is now a part of the core distribution. This Plugin leverages jQuery to allow developers to completely customize the Manager experience for end users. Some useful input widgets are included by default (tagging, color picker, image TV preview) and new widgets can be developed to streamline your daily content management. ManagerManager gives you the benefits of a fully bespoke/custom CMS, coupled with the support of large Open Source Community and maintaining an upgrade path for future releases.
New features in Nucleus CMS 3.5
The Nucleus CMS core development team has released Nucleus CMS v3.5. Although Nucleus CMS contains a lot of bug fixes, it's the new features that will catch your attention.
Highlights of the new features in this release include two new plugins in the core system:
- NP_Text eases the translation of Skins
- NP_SecurityEnforcer improves the security of the core.
- The first step to an universal SQL API is done. This should allow easier use of other back-end database engines, like pdo or sqlite, but only MySQL will be officially supported in 3.5.
- Some changes are made to make Nucleus CMS compatible to PHP5.3.
There are no urgent security fixes in this release so that you have not to hurry up. The Nucleus CMS core developers still recommends that site owners update their software so that your blog software is up to date and work with all plugins.
A list of all the new features in Nucleus CMS 3.50 is available from the original release announcement found at the Nucleus CMS site.
