gl Labs was originally started by Mark Evans as a support site for plugins he had created for the Geeklog CMS. He was soon joined by Eric who had been making themes for Geeklog, and together they began to quickly expand the site's offerings. After a time, they decided the best way to further their vision of a modern CMS was to create glFusion. They are strong believers that open discussion and collaborative development increase the quality of glFusion's projects, and that drives their developm…

glfusion:issues - Patch Level #3 Update

Mark — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:54:38 -0600

It never fails, once you make a release, a few bugs pop up. In the interim time before the next release rolls out, you can download the individual source files that contain the fixes. Generally, patches should not require template changes either, but occasionally there are exceptions. If a template change is required, it will be noted in the specific patch documentation. The Template Change page will also be updated to reflect the change.

Geiss — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:23:53 -0600

glFusion continues its evolution by enhancing existing features and adding new features. In some cases, we believe it is important to re-engineer some of the core components to ensure a better foundation for future enhancements. Below are a list of current project ideas that we believe would bring value to glFusion.

ideas:eventapi - created

Mark — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:35:31 -0600

The current plugin API is functional but it requires that plugins have too much knowledge about other plugins to take advantage of services offered. Having a class based plugin API based on event publishing / subscription would be a more desirable long term platform for plugin development / interaction.

ideas:sessions - created

Mark — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:18:24 -0600

The session management system currently in use by glFusion is very simple and does not provide any features beyond tracking if the user is logged in or not. The goal of this project will be to develop an enhanced session management system that will be shared by the core glFusion code and all plugins.

glfusion:forum

Mark — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:06:11 -0600

The Forum plugin is a great way to build an online community and support collaboration across the Internet or on a local intranet. You can create categories to organize conversations, create discussions, post messages, restrict forum access, and even convert glFusion stories into forum posts.
