What’s new?

Fixed

• #244: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS replaced with $_SERVER in checklogin.php (vaughan)
• #245: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS replaced with $_SERVER in common.php (vaughan)
• #246: <>\/ specialchars were being stripped from password fields unneccessarily. changed from stopXSS to filter_var() (and use FILTER_SANITIZE_URL) which sanitizes and only allows characters that can be used in a URL (which is applicable for passwords) (vaughan)
• #246: SMTPAuth not working – xoopsmultimailer was setting authentication type to ssl (which is correct, but other issues with phpmailer prevent it) (skenow)

Alfresco may not have been in the original group of three Enterprise CMS vendors who developed the CMIS Specification, but they certainly are the most active when it comes to putting it to use. Today they announce a partnership with Joomlatools that demonstrates the first official integration module based on CMIS: Alfresco:Joomla!™ Integration Module.

CMSWire hasn’t talked a great deal about open source ECM provider Nuxeo lately, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been hard at work enhancing their CMS solution and building new products — they have. In fact, we had an opportunity to see just what Nuxeo has been up to lately – new Digital Asset Management Product to name one thing – and where they are headed next year – dare we say the cloud?

Jadu, the Web Content Management vendor, has released a product that will help bridge the gap between PHP and .NET software development languages. The company’s Phalanger PHP compiler will allow PHP applications to be compiled into the .NET framework.

This new product from Jadu will help bridge the gap between .NET, a common application framework found in corporate environments, and PHP, the most popular web programming language found on open source web services on the Internet. As a result, companies should be able to shave off application development costs.

Enterprise level applications are not cheap. In particular, enterprise content management systems can send an organization’s budget plans through the roof. Unless, of course, you are implementing an open source enterprise cms. So the story goes.

According to open source enterprise cms provider Alfresco, they are the alternative with a scalable, easy to use platform at a fraction of the price.

We read their Total Cost of Ownership for Enterprise Content Management whitepaper. The whitepaper walks you through the licensing and hardware costs associated with several propertiery ECMs and shows how clearly open source is the more inexpensive option.

But the story of project costs is not just a tale of license price. There’s a lot more money to spend implementing an Enterprise CMS.

O’Reilly Media wants to help make working with the Drupal web content management system just a bit easier. Many people realize that when working with a CMS of any kind, even an open source option, things can get pretty hairy for those not overly savvy with code and module configuration. Using Drupal’s goal is to eliminate as much frustration and as many wrong turns as possible.
