ZenMagick website

Filed under: ZenMagick — DerManoMann @ 9:29 am

Since working in parallel on ZenMagick and getting the wiki set up properly doesn’t seem to work I have decided to take a break once 0.8.4 is out and concentrate on restructuring the ZenMagick website.

There will be a few major things to start with and then the usual nitty-gritty stuff:

  • Find another hosting provider - any suggestions?
  • Create a simple static site that contains the basic information about ZenMagic
  • Link to sourceforge where appropriate
  • Create the wiki and seed with the existing stuff plus all the things that accumulated here on the blog
  • Create a new demo store

Other than that I will, of course, provide bug fixes if necessary. There are also some ideas about some new plugins like:

  • Theme switch based on hostname or other criteria
    This is rather trivial and perhaps more some sample code for people that want to rebrand the site based on different criteria
  • Move the phpBB code into a plugin
    This is an idea I really like as it will clean up the core code a bit more. Also it may be used as boilerplate to hook up other applications that you might want to share account information with in a similar fashion phpBB is currently integrated into zen-cart
  • Perhaps a couple more plugins to support more mods, but that really depends on the still missing feedback

Oh, and I am currently working on a couple of contracting jobs that are directly related to ZenMagick, which is immensely satisfying to see your code used to build some good looking websites :)

So, I do not have any estimates other than 0.8.4 being in the queue for sometime next week. After that, we’ll have to wait and see.
