Dynamix

Content Management System - or whatever the fsf wanna call it

Dynamix started as me needing to write some blog software, which I attached to a templating system, and added bbcode, and a download counter, and email protection, and image manipulation, and it just kept on growing.

Dynamix isn't like other CMS's out there, it doesn't just build the HTML for a page, it builds everything needed to display that page, and only what is needed for that page in that browser.

There is no download available for Dynamix yet, this will change once I get an installer written.

This site runs on Dynamix

FEATURES:
Integrated Content, Style, and Scripting support - builds the html for a
 page, then builds the css and javascript needed for the content being
 displayed, unnessecary sscripting and style rules are not sent to the
 user.

CSS preprocessor - Only the CSS needed for the page being viewed is sent
 to the user, and this CSS is rewritten by the preprocessor to suit the
 browser, eg. a browser might not support border-radius, but does support
 -moz-border-radius; the preprocessor will see this and rewrite the style
 rules accordingly.

JavaScript preprocessor - Only the JavaScript needed for the page being
 viewed is sent to the user, and this Javascript is rewritten by the
 preprocessor to suit the browser, this results in faster execution
 times as there is no need for runtime if else if else... checks that
 most libraries use. The preprocessor also extends JavaScript syntax, so
 that object oriented scripting is easier to write, as an example, here's
 a basic javscript class with a constructor as well as public and private
 functions written for Dynamix:
Class MyClass {
	public function _construct() {
	}

	public function foo() {
	}

	private function bar() {
	}
}

Search Engine Friendly - Dynamix uses mod_rewrite to give clean urls,
 making search engine indexing easy, the framework for adding an
 automatically generated sitemap is also available, although this has yet
 to be implemented.

Modular Design - adding new functionality is as simple as adding a new
 module. A list of current modules is included below.

Dynamic Module Loading - only the php files required to build the page
 are included, this reduces load times, as the parser has less to do
 before building the page.

Instance Based - adding content to a page is simple, just add a new
 instance id, the instance points to a module, and the module builds the
 content. Any content can be added anywhere, you can easily add several
 forums to a site, or even to a single page, and a page can contain any
 number of instances; so you can have one page with an image library, a
 forum, a blog, some file downloads, and anything else you want.

Ajax without Ajax - Dynamix' ajax functionality is written to work on
 browsers that don't support ajax, neither XMLHttpRequest, nor ActiveX
 controls are needed to use Ajax features.

Zoned Content - Dynamix splits a page into core content zones, so that
 switching templates automatically adjusts the location of content to
 suit the new template.

Integrated Scripting - because dynamix builds the scripting on a
 per-browser/per-user basis, functionality can be added and removed
 according to the users access level, or what page they're on. What's
 more JavaScript can interact with the core zones, making dynamic content
 updates work across templates; no need to rewritte javascript for each
 template.

MultiPoint Pre-emptive caching - Dynamix stores prebuilt html, style,
 and script data to speed up load times. It also keeps track of when
 updates are made which requires a page, or part of a page to be rebuilt.
 Pre-emptive? When you load a page, Dynamix makes sure all the links on
 that page have an up-to date cache already built, the xhrload module
 caches client-side too, allowing pages to be load almost instantly, with
 all the images preloaded.

Language Support - Dynamix has built in supprt for multiple languages,
 with more able to be added using a simple file format. When a user first
 connects, Dynamix crossreferences their country to a list of available
 languages, and if possible displays messages and/or content in their
 native language.

Sound Support - Dynamix includes a built in sound library, allowing mp3's
 to be played and controlled from Javascript
