Sexy and poisonous

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

(No, not that one.)

There are many content management systems out but all of them seem to require some sort of database server and occasionally sacrifice flexibility in favor of ease of use.

This is why neither this site or Wesnoth-UMC-Dev's use one of those nifty software packages although they still use PHP. The latter website uses a bunch of ugly code codenamed “Soradoc” which has the actual XHTML layout embedded on it; the CSS stylesheet is also codenamed Soradoc and it's derived from “Glamdrol”, the Wesnoth.org wiki skin by Ettin; and “Dorset”, which is Soradoc's immediate ancestor, used on this very personal website — which in turn uses PHP code derived from the current incarnation of “Soradoc”.

Enter codename “Poison Ivy”, which is basically the same thing as Soradoc/Dorset, except written from scratch, much cleaner and more flexible; in particular, the XHTML layout and the site configuration are no longer part of the engine's source code which will allow me to share that among both websites more easily. It also introduces seamless support for document compression, which may be useful for my personal website.

Ivy is mostly finished, but I'm now busy reworking the Wesnoth-UMC-Dev site's design under a secret project, codename “Kalari”. Maybe once I'm finished with that, my next web project will be bringing umcreg (codename “Thoria”) to life.

(Okay, it's not a secret anymore. Dammit.)
