AWF is a modern Open Source '''Content Management System''' and development framework based on '''PHP 5''' and the Smarty template engine. It features '''support for multiple Web sites''' and languages, content versioning, caching, basic staging, '''community-portal functions''' (online list, forums, instant messages, newsletters, weblogs, wiki,...), image upload and galleries, a lexicon, a modular '''full-text search''' engine, an auto repair function for database tables, XML and '''PDF export''' as well as RSS and **LDAP** support. Fully flexible URLs allow the '''replacement of existing static Web sites'''. It is available for free under the terms of the [[license:gpl]]. The old release, AWF 1.11, is not maintained anymore but still available. + What is special about AWF? [[image:large/admin_area|right_small]]AWF Version 2 is thoroughly '''based on modern technologies''' like XHTML, CSS, XML and a powerful [[Editing Help|Wiki syntax]]. It was designed to be simple yet powerful and fast right from the start. +++ Examples '''Images''' can be edited, converted and resized by simply changing the URL: * [http://www.awf-cms.org/images/large/admin_area.html admin_area.html] will show you details about the screenshot. * [http://www.awf-cms.org/images/large/admin_area.png?height=200&width=400 admin_area.png?width=400&height=200] changes the size of it to 400x200 pixels. * [http://www.awf-cms.org/images/large/admin_area.jpg admin_area.jpg] converts it into a JPEG file. '''Documents''' can also be easily converted by changing the file extension in the URL: * [http://www.awf-cms.org/index.pdf index.pdf] renders this page as PDF. * [http://www.awf-cms.org/index.xml index.xml] will export it as XML. The development of the core started when PHP 5 was available and '''contains almost no legacy code'''. The object-oriented structure can be easily understood and extended. After providing some interface methods, AWF will care about user management, caching, layout, images, permissions, full-text search and all the other stuff that absorbe so much valuable time. + Who can benefit from using AWF? Small and medium-sized businesses, research groups at universities, educational institutions as well as private users. The latest release can also be used in situations where many editors work at the same time or where the content is held for review before publication. + Ok, I like it! How can I support the project?
