CMSimple_XH on opensourcecms.com

Post by cmb » Sat May 17, 2014 12:57 pm

Hello Community,

we've finally managed to list CMSimple_XH on opensourcecms.com.

I encourage everybody to give their vote, as that might help to make others aware of this nice CMS.

Christoph

PS: Note that CMSimple 3.2 and CMSimple Classic have been already listed there since quite some time.

How did you manage? We tried so often without success. Anyhow I gave my 5 stars.

Indeed. A few weeks ago I tried to log in with my user account, and it didn't work, because the account had been deleted. I registered newly, and the day before yesterday I submitted everything again. Today I've received the approval. Sometimes, it seems, persistance pays off. :)

PS: I'm still waiting on the approval for http://cmsmatrix.org/, where I also submitted CMSimple_XH two days ago.

sorted by votes cast... drupal got 20,000 votes, XH got 2
Even in the Lite category GetSimple hat about 1500 Votes... so still some way to go for XH.
The feature list of Get Simple in opensourcecms:
  • XML based data storage (no MySQL needed)
  • Best-in-Class User Interface
  • Protection from yourself (undo most actions)
  • Extremely easy to theme
  • Great support forum & wiki
  • Fully Internationalized core code & plugins
  • Entire code base is documented with PHPDoc standards
  • Integrated WYSIWYG editor with file-browser & internal linker
  • HTML5/CSS3 default theme
  • Built in sitemap.xml generator
  • Long list of available plugins by great developers
  • Fully internationalized control panel
Hm, we also have that, maybe we should think about an advertizing feature list too? What do we have that they don't have, and what could we learn from them? Hm, "Protection from yourself" could be improved in XH.

I have to assume that there are so few votes for XH, because it is only listed there since a few hours. Actually, I can't imagine that other CMSs are in widespread use as CMSimple_XH. ;)
svasti wrote:Hm, we also have that, maybe we should think about an advertizing feature list too?
Yes, absolutely. I was sticking with the intro from cmsimple-xh.org, because I couldn't be sure that XH would be approved this time, and I didn't want to waste too much time. Any concrete suggestions?

That sounds good and it would be great to have an undo feature. However, I'm not sure how that works in GetSimple resp. how it could work for CMSimple_XH.

Hallo,

jetzt hat CMSimple XH 16 Stimmen, davon zwei von mir :-)

Mit jeder neuen IP kann man dort neu abstimmen. Wenn GetSimple schon 1500 Stimmen hat, hat es fleißige Anhänger ;-)

Solche Abstimmungen sind wertlos.

Mir ist heute auch aufgefallen, dass man abstimmen kann, ohne dass man eingeloggt ist, und dass das wohl per IP funktioniert. Das ist dann natürlich wirklich suboptimal. Abgesehen davon scheint es, dass man einfach nur klicken muss, was natürlich auch schnell mal versehentlich passiert[1]. Besonders eigenartig finde ich die URL, die für die Stimmabgabe aufgerufen wird; diese enthält nämlich die IP als Parameter. Warum, ist mir nicht klar; ich vermute, dass das nur zur Kontrolle ist, um User mit "ständig" wechselnder IP von der Abstimmung auszuschließen. Aber das hilft natürlich nicht, wenn man nur gelegentlich eine neue IP bekommt (und v.a. wenn man das forcieren kann).

Und natürlich kann man über den Nutzen einer solch simplen Bewertung sowie streiten. Wesentlich sinnvoller finde ich da Kommentare; die gab es dort früher auch mal, aber anscheinend wurde das inzwischen abgestellt (vielleicht gab es zu viel Spam).

PS: [1] Das ist offensichtlich auch geschehen, denn sonst hätte CMSimple_XH 5 Sterne. ;)

Trotzdem habe ich mal 5 Sterne für mein nach wie vor Lieblings-CMS vergeben (aber das ursprüngliche CMSimple finde ich fast genauso gut...)

Ach so, wir sind erst bei 32 Stimmen :-(

Ehrlich gesagt finde ich das klassische CMSimple sogar besser, solange man keine Plugins braucht. Allerdings finde ich, dass man auf Erweiterungen nur selten verzichten kann.

Inzwischen sind es bereits 34. Das ist so ungefähr eine Stimme täglich -- immerhin. :)
