Roadmap

Introduction

There are various aspects of the CMS that are incomplete, or where the implementation could be improved. Feel free to contribute ideas in the comments.

Improvements

• Improve global variable and token support.
• Better error handling and messaging.
• Standardize and improve ModuleAPI (currently only one hook: getContents() )
• Distinguish between modules and blocks.
• Re-define 'module locations' as 'block regions'.
• Improve template system and add multiple/customized theme support.
• Move database schema to code, allowing for easy installation, migrations, and updates.
• Support for installation and upgrade scripts to build the database from code-based schema info in the code.

General and ongoing code cleanup

• Instate and follow CodeConventions
• Improve code readability.
• Improve code / comment ratio.
• Remove trailing whitespace.
• Remove variant-type elements from variable names. (eg strProductName --> product_name)
• Remove 'tbl' prefixes from database tables.
