Yes we are. I beleive we are using Bootstrap 3.2.x

I was really hoping you guys were going that direction. Very Happy

The portability Bootstrap offers alone between devices will take care of many of what's on one of my sites users top list of things they would like to see changed. One of my RN sites gets 500K hits a year and my user base would like to see it ported better for phone / tablet use and I've been holding them off til RN3 came about to see if it needed a CMS change. 400+ user base plus visitors so it gets heavy traffic. It's been on RN since 06 Cheers

I can't wait to see what you guys have done!

Our initial aim (at least for RavenCMS 1.0) was to be "mobile ready" rather than be 100% mobile compatible. I know the work that Spasticdonkey has done has really gone above and beyond that basic requirement, especially as we started out with Bootstrap 2.x and he's pretty much single-handedly had to rework a massive about of code due to changes in Bootstrap 3.x (which has had the knock-on affect of added more delay to our schedule).

There will, without doubt be area's where the initial release of RavenNuke won't be 100% mobile friendly as I think we do need to get a release out sooner rather than later.

I can't really give a full synopsis as this dev cycle has stretched on for too long; but recently.... A major overhaul of News and 17 new Bootstrap powered themes are "mostly" done. Currently we're working on freshening up the installer and adding a config class which does a bunch of cool things that Guardian would be better equipped to give details on...

Still several hurdles we have to get past though, so we're not exactly close to release..... yet.

I'm in the midst of working on the installer so I can't take any up-to-the-minute screenshots, and things are a lil' more polished at current; but here's a few from several weeks back (i'll try to grab some more recent ones soon)

Note the img on the right is a simulated tablet view, and the discerning eye might spot a new feature or two in the pics. Smile

We are currently using pretty much the latest version of Bootstrap, as of the time this is written and this will probably be the version that ships with RavenCMS as we cannot realistically keep updating the theme code in an endless cycle or we'll never get this beast finished.
SpasticDonkey has done a fantastic job of updating the themes and even taken the time to configure different theme settings for each theme so you can get a feel for different layouts without having to play with the 31 different settings available.
Yes, you read that right!
The new themes have around 31 different options and not a single line of code required to make these layout changes, thanks to the new theme configuration area.

I am currently implementing a unique version of my Configuration Class to help handle various configuration options and whilst it might be considered overkill, I'm hoping that it will help to provide a system wide, unified method for configuration handling, as well as to help speeding up development for third party developers.

it looks really good. what version of php will this be working on 5.4 or 5.5 or 5.6 or possibly 7.0 when it comes out? and what kind of security features do you plan on having for this cms?

Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:24 am

I believe the minimum PHP version is 5.4 since PHP 5.3 is now EOL.
I'm not sure there is room here to review all the different security features but we are sticking with tried and tested methods;
HTML Purifier - for data validation and sanitization and SQL injection detection plus any add-hock filtering we feel is needed
CSRF Magic - for cross-site request forgry prevention. Our own modified version has proven extremely robust so we'll continue to use and modify it as needed.
A new modified version of a user registration Class will handle user registration and constantly monitor user sessions in addition to other 'monitoring'.
CAPTCHA - we are using our previous CAPTCHA system because it has proven so robust

I would love to move toward using prepared statements for all the database stuff for the added security but at the moment that clashes with our remit of keeping RavenCMS (tm) easily adaptable and modifyable by relative 'novice' PHP developers.
Nuke Sentinel, although mostly redundant now will still be incorporated but there are other things we are looking at.

I think it has been long time since we didn't hear any news about new version Ravennuke. I wonder if it is possible to test any beta available so we can find any issues and fix them as soon as possible. Let me know if that is possible.

We have a small team of people already that perform some QA testing, along with the development team themselves since we have to test every line of code we write. Of course we do miss things, especially when there can be so many options available, so we do rely on the QA team a lot but QA testing is stil a fair way off, though we are trying to make a big push to finish this project.

Looks great! Congrats for the massive work at this point.

I'm working currently for a customer on the latest wordpress and there exists a very cool function to pass a value of a PHP variable to JS. Maybe is there a way to implement something like this in the next release.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_script

The result is also very simple:

php Code:

wp_localize_script('custom', 'bg_path', of_get_option('headbg_image'));


wp_enqueue_script('custom');

html Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>


/* <![CDATA[ */


var bg_path = "http:\/\/domain.tld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/wg_dark_background3.jpg";


/* ]]> */


</script>


<script type='text/javascript' src='http://domain.tld/wp-content/themes/theme/js/jquery.custom.js?ver=1.0'></script>

[pre=javascript:7dba460d56]$('.myclass').myplugin({imageSrc: bg_path});
