Introduction

I am an experienced freelance developer. With over 14 years of software development and network administration experience, I now specialize in web development for Open Source software. I focus on quality work with re-use, security and maintenance in mind. I have the expertise and connections to get what you need done, done, and done well.

My specialty lies in open source content management systems. specifically in work with CMS Made Simple, an open source content management system used on thousands of production sites. I also have a lot of experience in identifying other systems for special cases and even custom programming to help bridge the gap between a stock system and your exact needs.

I have written from scratch, or maintain in excess of fifty addon modules for CMS Made Simple that are in use and work well on each and every CMS Made Simple install.

I have the experience to get a website from concept to completion, including hosting and support. That means that once the site is done, I stay around to help you afterwards.

To find out more information about me, you can view my profile on the CMS Made Simple development team's about us page, and on the forum. I'm known as 'calguy1000'

Hi;

How can I get a random item from the RSS feed rather than the items as they appear in the feed.

In the news module you can select a random news item with sortby="random" I was hoping that something similar would be available or do I have to hack th...

It took me a solid 2 hours to figure this out.  SVN to me and probably many other designers doesn't mean anything.  I'm hoping CMS Masde Simple keeps the "simple".

If you're still having problems with action="browsecat" folow these steps.

Its a great tag and it has way more functionality than anything from twitter.

This is just a small maintenance release that fixes a couple of annoying bugs: a) The logout/session issue should now be resolved permanently. b) The problem with errors in preview on new installs because of some bad logic in the default templates has been fixed.

Poll: Would you consider attending a CMSMS focused conference?

- Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:09:07 +0000

Found here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,32453.0.html I’m just trying to gauge the potential interest of a CMSMS focused conference in lieu of (or addition to) the traditional geek moot we normally do. There would most likely be a charge. Nothing crazy, but it would be necessary to cover the costs of the facility and any other resources [...]
