It has been quite a while since I last updated you on the status of BackendPro. Some of you may have been following the SVN and will know things are moving forward. A few people are now using the new code and reporting bugs which I am very grateful for.

Currently I am trying to put together the user guide for the code. The old guide was focused mostly around the classes available and what methods were available. The new guide will have all of this but will also contain detailed instuctions and examples of how to actualy use BackendPro to create a site. For example:

  • How to  create your own frontend/backend pages.
  • Extending the registration screen to include custom profile fields
  • Added a new custom field type to the preference page
  • etc etc

For the mean time I have also checked in the first copy of the new Installer. I have designed the new installer to provide a more ‘complete’ process. It hopefully will guide you through the process and help you a lot more than the old one.


I want to say a thank you to Phil Sturgeon whos PryoCMS install mine has been based off.
