[dScribe] New version

Finally, better late than never, I have now completed (partially) the final steps for dScribe, the Content Management Project.

So now the application is available as Beta 1.01. What can I say about the numerous changes from the alpha version?
Well, everything is almost new, so difficult to find a starting point.

I was asked by ny company to make dScribe multi-projects, thing done now, and believe me not so easy to achieve.
I also now have the full CMS life cycle from the content to the full deployment.

I included also a multitude of new tables, like the Servers to store the details on the different machines a web administrator can manage, basically at least 2 machines, test and production, but of course dScribe let you adding more servers if you want.

Of course, I still have a huge amount of work to do, like to finish a setup page, or some admin tasks.

I will also shortly publish a new article about Editing the Sections, follow by another one on the Deployment, follow by the Multiproject version.

I have also to update some of the articles published to reflect the new features of this version.

For the moment, I decided to let in the database my 'working' examples rough as they can be, because some of the people reading the column asked me for some demo.
I intend to include in the next instalment in the Setup page a 'setup a demo' button to automatically create at least 2 projects with 2 or 3 users and their different roles.


But of course, if you have any questons, suggestions, difficulties you know the word ... comment ;-)

Is there a demo of some kind available somewhere? I'd really like to see it working before downloading and installing everything.

Dennis not yet, because it was done as an admin tool, but yes it's an idea I will explore.
However dScribe doesn't modify your registry ;-) so you can install it without any problem and delete it when you want.
It's mad from 3 components, database/web project and solution.
Plus a front end user control to access the CMS
