Jojo Open Source CMS
By Bruce Clement
A little under a year ago I briefly tried an alpha version of Jojo content management system (CMS), at the time it showed promise, but was too rough for me to consider using. Yesterday I tried out the 1.0rc1 release candidate version & I was impressed at how much it's improved. JojoCMS is a lightweight open source CMS that was written in PHP by professional web developers for their own use and concentrates on rapid deployment and flexibility. The layout is exclusively done using CSS. I started by building a demo site to experiment with the software and decided after only a few hours to stop testing and simply bring it live. As I'd created a number of dummy pages containing rubbish to see how the linking and search worked I simply abandoned that set-up re-implemented. It's a credit to the simplicity of setting up Jojo that throwing away a test implementation and re-starting from scratch is an easy option. Admittedly you do need some computer skills as you need to upload and unzip the software on your server before starting the automatic install. Although I haven't used all of the core system and only tried out very few of the standard plug-in modules I've only found a very few trivial problems with it, and most of them were in one of the three sample themes ... unfortunately it was the one that is closest to the look I wanted for my site. Only one of these problems affected data display in the site and that was fixed with a trivial change I've reported back to the development team. The other problems are trivial and mostly affect validation by the Worldwide Web consortium (W3C) validator as being valid XHTML and valid CSS. These problems aren't in the Jojo code, just in an optional theme (template). Finally I found a few plug-ins that lacked a description line. I'm going to implement a couple more simple sites in the next few days & can be counted in as a happy Jojo user. Kudos to the developers for doing such a good job on this product.
