Mura CMS

We've switched the default javascript library for the Mura CMS admin to jQuery (from Prototype), including the availability of the jQueryUI library for plugin developers. This will be a huge productivity gain for plugin programming, and also provides a great foundation for future improvements to the Mura CMS admin functionality. 

We're back from CF.Objective() and will provide a full hour of live, no strings attached support. In fact, in the future, this will be the default topic for all Mura Shows if we don't have anything scheduled for presentation. When we do have a specific topic to cover, we will be announcing it via this blog. Look forward to seeing you on the show.

We've just completed the first draft of a new round of documentation for programmers looking to get the most out of Mura CMS. In it, we cover topics like using the Mura Tag, the Mura event model, the new Mura Scope, extending base Mura types, creating Mura plugins, and much more.

We will not be doing the Mura Show in order to continue preparation for CF.Objective() in Minneapolis next week. This also means there will be no Mura Show next week on Wednesday. However, we will be doing a "Birds of a Feather" (an informal discussion) session on the Friday of the conference and are considering doing this live instead of the usual Mura Show. The Mura show following CF.Objective() will be another open forum where we'll provide a hour of free, live support. If you can provide us with any information in advance via the "Suggest a Topic" form on the Mura Show page, that could be helpful.

This week we're going to continue with the original intent of the Mura Show and provide a full hour of live, no strings attached support. Last week turned out to be great show, with a lot of information and examples covered and we expect this week to be no different. We look forward to seeing you there!

This week we're going to do something a little different with the Mura Show...we're going to follow through with the original intent of the Mura Show and provide a full hour of live, no strings attached support. If you find your self saying "Gee, if only I had access to the Mura team for this", here's your chance. Alternatively, if you have something you'd like to share with the Mura community, we're open to that too. See you there.

This week will mark a milestone for the Mura Show. We'll have a guest presenter, designer Ronnie Duke from Mod Media. Like myself, Ronnie is not a CFML programmer and will be walking through the process of taking a design in Adobe Illustrator to creating a new theme for use in Mura.

This week we'll pick up where we left off on integrating Charlie's UGTV application into Mura CMS, except this week, we'll turn it into plugin!
