OpenPHPNuke is an Opensource Web Content Management System developed in PHP. Different databases are supported.
Short description
With the help of OpenPHPNuke online websites can easily be managed via webbrowser. OpenPHPNuke is fully modular and with its more than 100 modules most of modern online requirements can be fullfilled.
Unlike other PHPNuke Forks the whole system is modular. Modern techniques are used to provide a secure and stable system. A user and permission management as known from Unix is implemented. Extensive and powerfull tools for administration are provided for everyday use.
Historical
- The beginnings
The roots of OpenPHPNuke are found in version 4 of PHPNuke(PHPNuke itself is born out of Thatware). Out of this a new fork was built, called MYPHPNuke (MPN). Dissatisfied with the development of MyPHPNuke, some german developers used the code of MPN in the very early beginning of OpenPHPNuke to implement their own visions of Content Management, called OpenPHPNuke.
- OpenPHPNuke
Now only the phrase Nuke reminds to the roots. Most of the Coresystem was coded new, heading foreward to a framework. Programming Standards were built and the HTML was changed to todays web standards, content and layout are separated and all modules are valid XHTML. In OpenPHPNuke there are no suppressed PHP warnings as found in other systems...they are called a bug and are eliminated, resulting in top performance and speed.
From december 2001 until september 2003 three developers worked heading the first release, supported by about 30 betatesters. The development was done somehow behind the scene, in the background, to get the optimum code without pressure from the community.
In september 2003 the Release Candidate (RC1) was published and since then the community is steadily growing.
- The heads behind it
These are mainly the developers: Stefan Kaletta, Heinz Hombergs und Alexander Weber which are pushing the development towards a Contentmanagement System for everybodys needs.
