Filed under: CMS Index, Open Source Web CMS, Portal, Silvertripe
SilverStripe is a free and open source programming framework and content management system (CMS) for creating and maintaining websites. The CMS provides an intuitive web-based administration panel, allowing any person to maintain their website without knowledge of markup or programming languages.
SilverStripe offers a flexible MVC development framework known as Sapphire. Much like Ruby on Rails, but for PHP, it ensures developers are capable of extending and enhancing the functionality of the CMS and the website. More importantly, SilverStripe provides developers with complete control of the generated markup; allowing for higher, semantic standards of XHTML.

- Gallery Thumbnails: This new functionality allows users to see some media files in a “click and zoom” fashion. On top of that, there’s also the yummy automatic resizing function. While we’re not quite sure about what Zimplit means by “It will make your website smaller and quicker,” digital asset management (in some shape or form) is always a welcome functionality in any Web CMS.
- Editor Location Changer: In “one step,” developers can now make their own editors with their own functionality and change editor skin or add their own.
