CMSimple is a simple content management system for simple maintainance of small commercial or private sites. It has a simple installation, is easy to modify, and offers an unique combination of features.

CMSimple project uses an HTML-file for storing the entire site, which can be edited in your favorite editor. It has a dynamic TOC and document locator, a WYSIWYG editor (no plugin--functions in IE and Mozilla), a search function, link validation, image handling, and automatic backup. It is easy to set up your own layout; just edit the template and stylesheet.

Here are some key features of "CMSimple":
Easy installation
The CMS script is less than 50 KB
Template driven layout using a css script
The contents of the site is stored in a single HTML-file
Many languages available (both for the user and for site maintenance)
Written in PHP - it runs on Linux/Apache servers, or on Win32 with Apache or IIS
Inbuilt WYSIWYG editor (both on IE and Mozilla) - or an alternative configuration using HTMLArea3.0 editor.
Uploading of images and files

Search function
Print version option

Requierments:
CMSimple is written in PHP4. Thus, PHP >= 4.0.4 is required on your server.
CMSimple runs on a Linux server under Apache, or on Win32 under Apache or IIS. No database is needed as the entire site contents are stored in a single HTML-file.
For better password protection it is advised to set wwwaut to true, which is done by configuring your PHPsettings. This can only be done on Linux where PHP must be installed as an Apache module (not a CGI).

What's New in This Release:
Incorrect 401/404 headers on Linux have been fixed.
A "Page not found" error has been fixed.
Readable URLs for other charsets: login, adm, search, mailform, and guestbook split into individual files making it easier to modify or run CMSimple without these parts.
The built-in editor OEdit has been placed in an external file, and the code has been cleaned up.
CMSimple scripting has been made non-greedy, and it is possible to configure CMSimple scripting with config variables.
There are several minor fixes, and a Spanish language translation is now included.
