Hi Elliot, how is the Blaze cms development coming along? had many suggestions?

I know this doesn’t have any practical value, but when I saw this in your article:

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
- Henry Ford

I giggled at the thought, ‘with the cost of oil and petrol, I bet most people would see “faster horses” as being more of a tempting solution’.

Sorry…. couldn’t resist.

hi! thanks for asking!

- kiss - i18n
- user admin with roles
- keep it basic and clean, like CI
- easily extensible by the users themselves to their own needs, like CI

i would use Blaze to have my customers maintain the unavoidable content by themselves, in the CI apps i build for them. so the system could be very basic.

cheers! from another Drupal user

Blaze looks good but with this licence i cant use it.

My wishlist:

1. Open source not open content licence
2. Workflow and roles (Editor, Publisher)
3. Versioning

Add a ACL-type user/group management system and this will be a great “framework” to use to build a wide range of CI-based applications. Great work.

Yes, the project looks promising, but the license is what I didn’t like at all I think that Elliot should change the licence to let everyone to reproduce, rebuild, build upon and so on and it wouldn’t bring any disadvantage to him

I’d like to teleport my CMS to use CI and integrating it in Blaze, I think, is the easy way to do it.

So this is my wishlist to allow me to do that.

- Gettext support (I already made it in CI so it should work for Blaze)
- Ability to create easily other modules (Forum, Photo album, Guestbook etc)
- Ability to install/remove/activate/deactivate those modules depending of the need of the site

I am wondering about the licensing.

No Derivative Works. You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.

Means that blaze is pretty much useless to me as a developer.

I love Blaze, it think it is a great idea!

My wishlist:

1. Multi language
2. A good file / image function with upload and sorting.
3. Easy skinning of both frontend and backend.
4. Fast.
5. Compatible with web standards.
6. Possibility to cache frontend pages.
7. Fancy Ajax stuff.

I would like to translate into Swedish, mail me if you need help!

Kind Regards,
Daniel

So far it looks great, definitely got sexy handled :p

imho cck shouldn’t be necesary, us CI devvers need to easily be able to integrate custom controllers or maybe modules (matchbox?)

hierarchical page structure is important, or at least navigation. maybe this is already planned, in which case i should read more first

anyway keep up the good work
