What it is?
Neutrino AE is a fork of the open source
Neutrino CMS , the main highlight of which is the minimalism of undemanding resources and hosting capabilities. Development has been ongoing in parallel for a year and a half, and technologies from one edition periodically jump to another. The license is GPLv3. An archive with CMS weighs very little, the kernel runs on bare php without additional libraries, does not require a database (information is stored in text files), is characterized by high speed and low server load.
What is the difference?
The main difference between the Neutrino AE and the classic version is that the atom is positioned as a human-friendly system. It is easier to install and configure, as well as its basic set includes the minimum necessary set of the most popular and useful plugins. The classic Neutrino is delivered bare, and all the additional features, except for creating pages / blog posts and commenting on them, have to be reinstalled with additional plug-ins, or added on your own.
Features of Neutrino AE
At the moment, the following functionality is implemented in atomics:
- creation of articles (by default they are presented as blog entries)
- Visual nicEdit editor (implemented as a plugin, included in the base package)
- taxonomy (tags for entries)
- commenting on articles (optional, disabled in the settings)
- pre-moderation (optional, disabled in the settings)
- bbcode support in comments (optional, disabled in settings)
- support for wiki markup in comments (optional, disabled in settings)
- captcha for protection against spam bots (implemented as a plug-in, included in the base delivery, disabled by default)
- phptemplate based templating (several public themes have already been created, you can find them on the forum
- Sophisticated plug -in system - all kernel functions are connected to the hook system, which allows you to completely redefine functionality.
- Website setup via web interface
- Plugin Management
- Block management on the site (implemented as a blocks plugin, included in the base delivery)
- Setting information about the site and editing standard settings (commenting, the number of entries in the tape, etc., is implemented as a settings plugin, is included in the base. Delivery).
- A set of prepared php blocks and APIs to add your own blocks from other extensions to this list ("tag cloud", "similar entries", "previous / next entry", etc., implemented as a bjblocks plugin, included in the base delivery)
- Creating static pages with the ability to execute php code on them
And much more. Also at the moment a couple of dozen plug-ins have been written for a wide variety of needs, which further enriches the capabilities of the system. Should I remind you that the basic delivery in the zip archive weighs only 68KB and reacts without a database?
What's New in 0.8.7
All system functions are integrated with
the hook system , so it’s possible to implement any additional functionality in plugins. In terms of flexibility, Neutrino AE is now not inferior to such popular solutions as Drupal or Wordpress - just write plugins. The block system on the site has also been substantially redesigned. With the introduction of a set of regions, site owners no longer need to go into the code to display an additional block. All this is done through the admin panel of the
blocks plugin . It also indicates in which part of the web page the created block should be placed, and the visual editor makes creating static html blocks simple to disgrace
.in addition to a set of ready-made php blocks such as a tag cloud, the “previous / next record” and “similar records” also provides a convenient interface for adding new php blocks from other extensions, which allows plug-in developers to create user-friendly solutions. Also in the release many other innovations, completely rewritten kernel code, and a lot of goodies for developers. And most importantly: with all these additions, Neutrino 0.8.7 has not lost its main feature: minimalism. In the archive, the engine weighs only 68.3KB. A lot of new code was added, but the size remained the same due to optimization of the old code and elimination of old unnecessary plugins from the base assembly. At the moment, Neutrino AE is at the stage of transition from CMS for enthusiast coders to CMS for a wide range of users. Download
