Mura CMS

Last week, we didn't get as far along as we had hoped but we did cover a ton of information on deploying a new site. We did, however, begin the site build-out process, laying the groundwork for this week's episode.

If you have been following our blog you know that we have been working rigorously on Mura 5.2. Very exciting stuff - we're introducing lots of new features and capabilities.

Last week, we began our series converting Charlie Arehart's, CArehart.org to a Mura CMS-based site, covering the installation process. This week, we'll begin building out Charlie's site, discussing the finer points of content creation and site architecture.

Over the last six months, I've been working on numerous projects that require me to work with extended attributes in Mura CMS. While it's easy to create them manually, creating them programatically provides even more functionality and flexibility.

This week's episode is going to be the first in a series in which we convert ColdFusion Community Leader, Charlie Arehart's site (www.carehart.org) to Mura CMS. Charlie will be joining us, peppering us with questions as we tackle this soup-to-nuts conversion.

We're officially in full swing with The Mura Show with two episodes in the can now. We've gotten a great response and it's been a lot of fun sharing our knowledge with the Mura community. In this post, I break down what's been covered and talk about what we'll cover in tomorrow's show.

Since the name change from Sava CMS to Mura CMS, effectively the release of Mura CMS 5.1, a lot has gone into making Mura more useful, more usable and more flexible. Today, we're announcing Mura CMS 5.2 to consolidate those improvements with a few new ones, including the first step in migrating the Mura admin from the Fusebox framework to Sean Corfield's FW/1.

On December 16th at 1:00 PST, we will launch our weekly live Webinar - The Mura Show - to do as much pointing and 'splaining as we can in about an hour. Sean and Matt will be covering topics suggested by the Mura Community, questions from the forum, current development efforts, and anything else people want to talk about regarding Mura CMS.
