 | Why should you suggest your boss to switch to YACS? - Is your company looking for an open-source platform to support intranet web servers? Ok, you have checked all major solutions available today, from those recommended by CMSWatch to those listed at DMOZ.
Can we suggest to consider YACS as well? You may be surprised by the number of features that do match corporate needs. Well, actually YACS has been used to support some intranet web sites for about 18 months, and therefore we do have the experience of such things. » Image updated on Nov. 27 2004 In The vision |

| | How to post by e-mail? - Prepare a message using your preferred mail software, be it Mozilla, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, or another one.
Actually any software able to send a plain text message is ok, including mail robots that generate messages automatically.
Of course you will have to send the message to the adequate recipient address. On reception, some YACS server will process the message as if it were some text coming from the usual web form.

 | Nov-19, PDF, template import, message processing, and more - YACS already supported the download of any article into either MS-Word, or into your Palm-OS powered handhelp device, or into your printer. With this release we have added the ability to transform any article into a downloadable PDF file. We are aiming to provide a better support of images and tables with this format than with others. This work is based on the free FPDF library, that has been included into YACS distribution. The Acrobat Reader has been made available by Adobe on many platforms.
With this release we also have tried to improve the management of skins. First of all, reference skins have been made customizable. Were you dreaming of reusing the boxesandarrows template, but wanting to add an image and a slogan? Now you can do that from the configuration panel for skins, modifications of PHP files are not necessary anymore. Secondly, we have added a small importing script that is able to parse a regular Blogger template, and to make a YACS skin out of it. Expect to see various examples popping up at our site soon. Last but not lest, we have implemented the blogger.getTemplate and blogger.setTemplate XML-RPC calls. This means that YACS should be able to better support your particular templates in tools such as w.bloggar.
For corporate developers, and for those who want to use YACS as a development platform, we have added some hooks to the message processing. To catch every message submitted to the server through e-mail, you just have to drop a PHP script, and to handle $context['mail_body'] and $context['mail_headers']. Quite easy isn't it? Well, I suppose I should provide some example to further convince you... » Page published on Nov. 22 2004 In Releases |
