This is not the famous CVS (Concurrent Versions System), no typo! Actually it is not definite, yet, since the feature has not been implemented entirely, anyhow – some functions are already available.
OPN Betatesters are already familiar with it, but for those of you who have been using Nuke it might be a feature you have been longing to get: An update-system which is completely integrated into the websurface of OpenPHPNuke. With a few clicks you can check whether any updates are available and download them immediately. So, as an OPN webmaster you no longer have to rummage around the chaotic tangle of previous versions and updates, at all. With this feature you will be focussing on administering your page more purposefully – also with regard to latest developments and updates.

Until now we could only provide you with all-round-updates for OPN, in the near future you will be able to update just a single module, too. The mechanism will be as follows:
If someone comes up with a new module for OPN, she/he can sign it up at the central library and will receive an individual number for the project. Then the developer can register her/his version of the module.
Using the webinterface, an OPN webmaster can check which version of the module is currently active on her/his system and which updates are available from the central library. If an update is available, you can start downloading it with a click.

You are using build 99 and want to try this? For the update go to Admin --> Modulinfos --> Click system/FAQ. For the module FAQ you should find a version 2 there.

Current limitations: the user administration is missing where users will be able to submit their modules, also changes concerning the database are not yet taken into account, just the changes in code. But soon enough this will change as well.

Thanks to those features OPN has a unique updatesystem available which is so comfortable and easy to use for webmasters.
Just like OpenPhpNuke: always a step ahead.

Yet another step forward with build 99.

We want to get away from average-looking boxes, blocks and standardized layouts – which make a WCMS so recognizable – and are moving fast towards a manageable individual layout for your website. Our developers keep sticking to those innovative ideas while further developing OPN.

Therefore we have tackled the center- and sidebox functions that now have a considerably extended administrative area. As a webmaster you have new options in showing content in relation to other contents on your site. Let us give you an example: The webmaster has activated the egallery and the forum (among other modules) for his “design website”. For the gallery page he wants a sidebox showing random pictures, then an additional link to the site navigation on the forum page, and in the index page he wants a centerbox showing the “latest discussions in the forum”. Now, a user might like to see the latest discussions in the forum while browsing the original gallery and/or it might be a good idea to show some adverts below the gallery content – let’s say the latest articles on the topic “my works live and multicolour”.

Using build 99 it will be no trouble for you to set all those features up on your own site; with the help of an enormously improved administrative area you can handle the content of your site with ease.
