Napata CMS 1.4.2012 Released

Napata CMS 1.4.2012 is now out. This is the main database-driven script of this project. The main change in this release is that the script now uses PHP's PDO to run all database queries.

Napata Flat File CMS 1.2.2012 is out!

This comes approximately 1 month after the release of the script's first release candidate. But that ain't late at all. This release fixes a phoney bug that caused PHP code to display instead of the action links on a web page. Additionally, some other cosmetic changes have been made to the script. Here is the entire changelog for the flat file cms script:

1. New: Config file added: npt-load.php
2. Change: Moved $copyright variable to npt-load.php config file.
3. Change: Added DIRPATH costant to the config. Points to the absolute path to the folders.
4. Change: Deletion of error_reporting code in some pages. Config file now handles the error_reporting code.
5. Fix: Fixes to E_NOTICE and E_WARNING errors.
6. Change: Sidebar styling changes.
7. Change: Renamed the sidebar heading from "Other Articles" to "Articles".
8. Fix: Replaced PHP short tags on ActionLinks method to fix display problems of action links.

That is all for now. Remember you can download the latest release both on Sourceforge and Google Code (see the sidebar links on your right). Woohoo! I'm out.
