MyCMS is the short name for MyNews Content Management System.

MyCMS is an additional module of MyNews to manage an Internet publishing system. MyCMS is written in Perl and released under GNU General Public License (GPL).

Description

MyCMS adds the concept of article. An article is a kind of long news. It can be viewed as a newspaper article. An article is written in plain text. Special characters are used to add formatting information. An article can have links to other web page. It can have inline images and footnotes.

An article belongs to a section. A section is a special template with no URL to scan. An article can be linked to a topic.

MyCMS also introduces the concept of author (the user that has created the article) and moderator (the user that has published the article).

The article flowchart looks like this:

Downloads

To install MyCMS, you have to download two packages:

MN::CMS : the MyCMS perl module
mycms : the MyCMS web interface

Go to the MyNews download page to download the last version of those two packages.

Note: MyNews 1.1 must be installed before installing MyCMS.

Documentation

MyCMS is provided with a HTML documentation. An online version of this documentation is available on this website.

CVS

MyCMS is a CVS module at the same level than the MyNews CVS module. So the command to get your own copy of the MyCMS module will be:

> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/perlmynews co mycms

To use the CVS version of MyCMS, you can use the same method as for MyNews by creating symbolic links. For example, if you have extracted MyNews and MyCMS in /home/mynews/dev, you will perform:

> ln -s /home/mynews/dev/mycms/perl/CMS /home/mynews/dev/mynews/perl/lib/MN
> ln -s /home/mynews/dev/mycms/perl/CMS.pm /home/mynews/dev/mynews/perl/lib/MN
> ln -s /home/mynews/dev/mycms/www /home/mynews/dev/mynews/www/cms

The online version of the CVS repository of MyCMS is available on SourceForge.

See the MyNews CVS page for more information.
