Indexhibit Support

Bonjour. It's been awhile since we've had any updates to Indexhibit...we're working on a bunch of things. There isn't a release date at this time, and some of these things might not make the final shipping version, but we'll do our best.

The current working list of things:

- many miscellaneous tweaks (obviously)
- Flickr integration (useful if you can not upload image to your webhost)
- upgrade to current Jquery build
- upgrade to Thickbox 3 (or something better if it gets released soon)
- Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Chinese localizations
- a simple Blog module (not intended to compete with WordPress)
- optional User module for managing many users (admin mode addition)
- XML profile and recent exhibits
- Shopping Cart module (might not be free however)
- ability to publish via multiple templates
- addition of more template hooks
- improvements to File Manager (better sound and movie support)
- improved architecture for smoother upgrades
- improvements to the interface
- Tagging system (assuming we can make it work for us)
- password protected pages (like for client access only)
- a bunch of nice little plugins

Dan and I want to improve Indexhibit, but the idea is that we won't necessarily add new features. Of course, if you read the list we are adding some here - but we intend to make additions via new Modules and leave some for advanced users only to discover.

Feel free to chime in around the forum if you have any comments...suggestions.

Any ideas about a release date? Would it be easy to upgrade from .69 version?

Many tx.

I'm glad to see the addition of a User module and password protected pages.
I'm also glad to see the Japanese localization on its way.

I do not know if this is something that was tought about by indexhibit developpers (if not, make it a suggestion) but since there will be the possibility of multiple user on the system, would it be easy to add an option for each users to choose its language (at least on the admin side). I work in a Japanese environment, so my co-workers would obviously like to use the japanese interface. I can manage a fair deal in Japanese, but it would be even better if I could work in English or French.

I also would be more than delighted if there would be a possibility to have multilanguage content, but I think that it might go against indexhibit's philosophy about simplicity. In any case, If indexhibit's team might consider to implement something like this in a future version, I would suggest having a look at TextPattern's MLP module. The author's implementation of a multi-lingual content publishing philosophy seems to be quite on the spot in my opinion.

Looking forward to those new features,

I think it will be possible that all users can have different languages.

Sort of been thinking about multi-language. The problem with this...yep...complexity.

... can't wait! :) Some updates!?

Working on things...but it won't be until December at the soonest. ;)

... sounds great!
