Kao što smo u proteklom članku najavili emuSOFT počinje sa razvojem site-ova i web aplikacija na Ruby on Rails frameworku. Više o ovom frameworku ćete moći uskoro čitati na site-u na hrvatskom jeziku posvećenom njemu.

Ono s čime se sada želimo pohvaliti je još jedna suradnja sa BozooArt na projetku Left-or-Right.com. Radi se o vrlo malom web 2.0 site-u na kojem će svaki dan biti dvije oprečne opcije. Posjetitelji mogu glasati za jednu i predložiti neke nove. Znači, dođeš, glasaš i odeš.

1. rođendan emuSOFT-a
Autor: [08.02.2007]
Danas (5.01) je točno godinu dana kako je postavljen prvi emuSOFT.org site, tako da taj dan proglašavamo emuRođendanom. U proteklih godinu dana dosta je napravljeno (s obzirom da je ovo volontarski projekt), naravno manje od planiranog, ali što je tu je. Pred nama su (nadamo se upješne) godine. U prvoj godini izašle su dvije (službene) verzije emuCMS-a i postavljano je više od 10 site-ova na njemu. Uskoro izlazi verzija 1.0 sa dosta novih modula, redizajniranim administracijskim sučeljem i nekim poboljšanjima. Osim nove verzije najavljujemo i izradu nekih web aplikacija i site-ova na Ruby on Rails frameworku.

Autor: [21.12.2006]
Portal H-alter je a ovogodišnjem VIDI Web TOP 100 natječaju u kategoriji Mediji i novosti izabran među deset najboljih stranica u Hrvatskoj. Osim toga Radio 101 dodijelio je H-Alter-u nagradu za najbolju stranicu po njihovom izboru. H-alter se već više od godinu dana uspješno ‘vrt’i na emuCMS-u i bio je jedan među prvima koji je imao podcast i video uz tekst u Hrvatskoj. H-alter kao polu-volonterski projekt pokazuje kako se i bez puno novca može napraviti kvalitetan portal koji će biti čitan i priznat.

Mala sikjuriti rupica u emuCMS-u
Autor: [20.12.2006]
Pronađen je jedan sigurnosni propust u emuCMS-u. Propust se nalazi u svim verzijama emuCMS-a. Ne radi se o ničem jako opasnom, ali ipak pozivamo sve koji već koriste emuCMS, da u rubrici podrška skinu patch za verziju koju koriste. Patch se sastoji samo od index.php fajla koji treba zamijeniti sa postojećim. Ako ste nešto mijenjali u tom fajlu, javite nam se, pa ćemo vam javiti koje linije koda treba zamijeniti, da bi zakrpali ovu rupu.

Naravno u verzijama koje su trenutno na download-u je ta zakrpa već postavljena, tako da njih možete koristiti bez straha.
