Contentteller 2.0.5 and other important updates

I am announcing today the availability of a new maintenance version of Contentteller as well a few other important updates.

Community Edition discontinued

The bad news today is that the open source edition of Contentteller will be discontinued. It was a hard decision but not avoidable.

The original idea behind the dual licensing was to create a CMS that combines the advantages of both open source and commercial software. An open source CMS that attract 3rd party developers and a fully supported commercial version. Unfortunately, the interactions with members of the open source community over the last year were far away from productive, so I decided it is the best to discontinue the community edition.

Contentteller 2.1 is currently in private beta testing with very few beta testers and I received far more useful feedback in the last 30 days then in the last 18 months.

Introducing Standard Edition

Contentteller Standard Edition is the replacement product for Community Edition. It is identically to Professional Edition with one exception. The installation must show the “Managed with Contentteller” notice.

The pricing:
1-2 licenses €89 ($129)
3-5 licenses €59 ($85)
6-9 licenses €49 ($72)
10+ licenses €39 ($55)

All prices excl. VAT.

The license comes with 1 year of free updates. Another year of updates is €25 ($35)/year excl. VAT.

There is currently a -70% discount until 3rd January 2010 with coupon code “community” on the purchase of standard edition as a gesture of goodwill. Additionally, all Contentteller purchases until 3rd January 2010 comes with 3 years of free updates rather then one.

Here the direct link to the order page with special discount:

I also like to thank the current customers and updated the expire date of all existing customer accounts to 31st December 2012 free of charge as a special pre-Christmas gift.

Affiliate program launched

The most exciting news today is probably the launch of the Contentteller affiliate program through which you can earn a 33% commission on all new sales generated through your referrals. You can sign up here.

Contentteller 2.0.5 have support for the affiliate program. You can enter your affiliate ID under Manage Websites => Edit => Your Affiliate ID. This will turn the Managed with Contentteller link into an affiliate referral.

Contentteller 2.0.5 released

Contentteller 2.0.5 is now available in the member’s area. This is mainly a bug fix release but include also a few enhancements like support for vBulletin 4.0.

Here the full change log:

Contentteller members area

Many

Only one single template (news_story_edit_wysiwyg) has been changed.

Here the changed code:

Code:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

to:

Code:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

Minor releases like the 2.0.x releases will never feature massive template set changes.

The update procedure is that same like in the previous updates

1) Always make a backup

2) Uploading the files

3) Run /cadmin/cupgrade.php from the browser to upgrade your installation

In case you have still the problem with your templates during updates, you can change this in cupgrade.php to skip the template import step:

PHP:

    echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"step\" value=\"3\" /></div>";
    echo "<p align=\"right\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"" . $words_install[ 'NEXT' ] . "\"></p></form>";
    $html -> jump( "cupgrade.php?step=3", 1000 );

to:

PHP:

    echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"step\" value=\"4\" /></div>";
    echo "<p align=\"right\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"" . $words_install[ 'NEXT' ] . "\"></p></form>";
    $html -> jump( "cupgrade.php?step=4", 1000 );
