SolumCMS is a custom-written, lightweight Content Management System designed for easy deployment of small sites. It is the result of a University project that I completed by April 2010, and I continue to develop it in my spare time.

It uses a variety of libraries and technologies to achieve various functionality, including:

• ADOdb Lite (to handle all aspects of database interaction)
• Smarty template engine (to handle user-controlled templates)
• PHP Access Control List library (to handle user groups and permissions)
• TinyMCE and EditArea (to make authoring of content and code easier)
• Custom-written Smarty plugins that allow blocks of content or PHP code to be inserted into parts of the managed site
• An AJAX alert system powered by jQuery, JSON, PHP and SQL
• A full-feature, AJAX-enriched administration interface
• An installation script to enable quick and easy deployment of the CMS
