Postnuke .8RC1 released Posted by  attachmentgenie

Today we announce the release of PostNuke 0.8 RC1, the adam_baum release. This release candidate represents a feature complete PostNuke release, with a full upgrade process from .76x builds available. The 0.8 release is the culmination of years of hard work of many members of the development team, and RC1 shows just how close we are now nearing to a final release.

We ask that as many members of the community as possible download and use RC1 and provide feedback in the bug tracker. With full testing of RC1 the quality of the final release will be significantly enhanced.

Why adam_baum?
Adam_Baum was the online pseudonym of Greg Allan, former lead developer of PostNuke. On June 16th 2002, Greg died as a result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident near his home in Meaford, Ontario in Canada.

Greg contributed greatly to the project in all areas, from cleaning other's code to writing new and innovative features for PostNuke. He helped guide PostNuke through its first year after the split from PHPNuke and was an invaluable asset. It is in his memory that this landmark in the project's history is dedicated.

Presenting pnLinkMe, our newest project Posted by  attachmentgenie

Hopefully you ll bear with me a bit more on the previous projects. After speaking to loads of peeps at the dc php conference, I decided that postnuke was in need of some easy digg and del.icio.us bookmark facilities.
So i registered a new project at the NOC and am now proud to present to you my latest brain child: pnLinkMe.

Come and visit a PHP conference! Posted by  attachmentgenie

I got accepted @ a conference and not any conference all the big'ns are there. Rasmus Lerdorf (designed php), Chris Shiflett (wrote php security and the php cookbook), Adam Trachtenberg (platform evangilist @ ebay) and little old me. I am blatently cutting out tons of other people whose books taught me PHP programming but you 'll get the point. Its all going down in down town Washington DC in one of the fanciest hotels around.

So it should definately be wicked, even without having presented yet.I better loose some nights sleep over this to try and try and get up to standard of these PHP great.
I dubbed my talk "How PHP came to rule our network" which is a elaboration/extension on
the talk Hugo Meiland and Me gave at the 2005 OpenAFS&kerberos WorkShop. and tells the story of our intranet which basicly runs almost all our network functions

update 091006
registration is still open see you in Washington

Small Development Update Posted by  attachmentgenie

Hello folks finally some progress, altough of late procrastination seems to be my middle name.

I have almost finished updating StartFlash to include pnRender and to put everything in to the module folder instead of spreading files everywhere. So expect a Beta demo/release anytime soon now. altough i havent had time/will to update CVS yet (anyone know a good CVS tool for OS X?).

the Alumni work also show some good progress but its no where near alpha/zeta (or whatever we call it nowadays).

Unfortunately Xpdf work has only been about feature planning so far. which i one of these days for your approval.

I also changed the theme (again sigh) for postnuke@attachmentgenie.com as i didnt find the previous themes anygood. But this weekend i came across the lovely Nautica05 theme over @ the Postnuke community site. I think i like it so ll try it for a while

My eGallery CVS checkout succeeded Posted by  attachmentgenie

MMM.. i would like to say i restarted this one too, but a lot has happend in cvs since i last looked @ it. So i have to relearn my own software :-).
Unfortunately it is not just me who started to stray from this project so dont expect magic anytime soon as i too will first finish Alumni, XFPDF and StartFlash before i start working on My_eGallery.

XPDF development rescued from moth balls Posted by  attachmentgenie

Development seems to have stalled a bit. I have some ideas to move the module a bit further with new features as PDF security and PDF templates. For now i ll keep linking to the Lexebus forums for the official support but i might want to move it here in the future as I wrote all the code so far and i would like to keep all my code and support close to my heart.

Alumni development restarted Posted by  attachmentgenie

After a embarrasing long wait, i have dug up my old Alumni files and have started development work again. I was supprised to see how much i already had converted to a proper pnAPi but it totally lacks
pnRender capabilities. Which i think is a minimum requirement nowadays. I think i should also have my old todo file somewhere which ill post in the Feature request forum so that any one can comment and add to this .
