20 Jan 2014: This version of Couch has been promoted to become the release version 1.4 available from the main download page http://www.couchcms.com/products/
Hello everybody.
Version 1.4 is here
The two main features that debut with this version are
1. A new filemanager,
2. DataBound Forms (for front-end submissions AKA user-submitted contents).
New FileManager:
With the new version, Couch adds supports for one more filemanager - KCFinder.
This new filemanager has all the features one would expect from a modern filemanager -
- Thumbnail preview
- Full set of file manipulation functions (copy / move / delete)
- Select multiple files
- Multiple files upload (does not work in IE)
- Upload files using HTML5 drag and drop (for FF and Chrome only)
KCFinder, however, does not ship with Couch's installation zip.
If you prefer to use KCFinder, it can be downloaded from
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7712
DataBound Forms:
This is the most important feature of this release.
Using it, one can allow vistors to submit data from the site into Couch's database.
Some of the uses could be to -
1. Allow visitors to submit contents like articles or job postings etc.
2. Allow visitors to submit their reviews and ratings.
3. Allow a group of registered users to create/manage their own pages.
I have set up a complete tutorial illustrating one such use at
http://www.couchcms.com/docs/concepts/d ... forms.html
As always, your comments/criticsm are welcome.
