License: GPL
Programming Language: PHP

4. Media Wiki:

Media Wiki invented a whole new way of working on the web, and is a CMS for collective authoring of documents, used to power the one of the largest and most popular sites on the internet, Wikipedia.
License: GPL
Programming Language: PHP
Main advantages: If you need a wiki, it is the best.
Disadvantages: Does not include many other functions / extensions of other CMS platforms, doesn’t theme well, most sites look the same.
Outlook: Follows the model to success of doing one thing extremely well, has the support of the Wikipedia Foundation, very popular authoring model.

Outlook: Not as well known or implemented as some of the other CMS platforms, but nice design & features to set your sites apart from the crowd.
Website: http://www.liferay.com/

6. TYPO3:

One of the most complex and professional CMS platforms out of the box, TYPO3 is popular for business websites, especially with European companies.
License: GNU
Programming Language: PHP
Main advantages: design, extensions, customizations, flexibility, professionalism.
Disadvantages: too difficult to learn for most, too many proprietary conventions.
Outlook: Strong CMS for web development, sure to continue with a core of specialized developers and corporate clients, but loosing support and market share to other platforms.
Website: http://www.typo3.com/

7. Moodle:

Moodle is one of the most unique CMS platforms on this list, designed specifically for Course Management and Education, and used for online learning platforms.
License: GNU
Programming Language: PHP
Main advantages: Huge user and development community, online education, no real competitors or similar products, extremely powerful.
Disadvantages: not really applicable for most web design purposes.
Outlook: Look for this “Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment” to continue to be the standard online operating system for education and spawn many interesting mashups with other CMS platforms as well as many more modules & extensions.
Website: http://www.moodle.org/

8. Dolphin:

Boonex Dolphin is popular among web designers who want the latest in social networking, with an industry standard look and all of the features of the popular online communities out of the box.
License: Creative Commons
Programming Language: PHP
Main advantages: Plug-n-Play user community with all the bells & whistles.
Disadvantages: not really Open Source, must pay to remove ads, requires specific hosting requirements, difficult to install, buggy.
Outlook: Look for Dolphin to continue to be a popular choice for social networking, though its “cookie cutter” design runs the risk of becoming stale with too many sites implementing the same design.
Website: http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/

9. Pligg:

Pligg is a Digg clone that provides social bookmarking functionality for websites, allowing users to post links, vote them up or down, and leave comments.
License: GPL
Programming Language: PHP
Main advantages: Best for Social Bookmarking, can be themed and extended to build top quality sites like Mixx, Redditt, Del.icio.us, etc.
Disadvantages: difficult to install, mod rewrite problems, poor support on community boards, questionable Open Source future.
Outlook: With the 1.0 release of Pligg upcoming within a couple of months, look for a big surge of use back to this platform but watch out for increased commercialization.
Website: http://www.pligg.com/

10. Movable Type:

Movable Type is the main challenger to WordPress for a personal blog platform, and supports multiple users, Themes, and Tags.
License: GNU
Programming Language: Perl
Main advantages: Blogs
Disadvantages: Too closely tied to commercial products and services compared to most Open Source communities, Perl.
Outlook: Look for MT to fall off the list as other of the blogging platforms below increase in popularity, but sustain development as PR for the company’s commercial offerings.

some useful wordpress plugins

here is the list of some useful wordpress plugins. i hope  everyone like tht

Advanced Tagline

Advanced Tagline gives the option to have multiple taglines for your blog and display them at random or sequentially with each page view.

Sodahead Polls

Want to create a poll for your readers and see live results? Bloggers use polls more than any other interactive application to engage their readers. Create an engaging experience for your audience today and keep them coming back for more.

Minimum Comment Length

Don’t you find it annoying when someone comments with just a smiley? Or a “thanks”? On quite a few forums you have to leave a comment with a minimum of 15 characters to be able to comment, but WordPress doesn’t allow you to set such a threshold. With this plugin, it does.

Blogging Tips

This plugin displays random blogging tips and suggestions. The tips are just some ideas of what you can do to improve the popularity of your blog and improve the content.  All of the tips are designed to inspire you to be a better blogger.

Gravatar Recent Comments

Gravatar recent comments is a plugin providing you with a “Top/last commenters” widget but instead of just displaying names, it also displays gravatars.

Theme Authenticity Checker

Scan all of your theme files for potentially malicious or unwanted code. Be aware of advertisements or dangerous JavaScript inserted into legitimate themes by third party theme download sites.

List Category Posts

List Category Posts is a simple WordPress plugin which allows you to list some posts from a category into a post/page using [catlist=ID], where ID stands for the Category Id.

Expanding Text Plugin

This WordPress plugin allows you to create sections of text in your post or page which expand/collapse when clicked on. You simply wrap the special tags around your text, and set the ‘expand link’ (the link visitors click on to show the text).

Actionable

Actionable allows the creation of a categroized list of action items for users to check off and track. It was originally developed for Share 350.0 – a plan for regional sustainability to help people track their actions and efforts to create a sustainable community.

Lightbox Plus

Lightbox Plus is used to create overlay display images on the webpage and to automatically add the correct overlay links to images. Lightbox Plus captures the image title for display using a fairly robust regex to capture most character that may appear as part of the title.

symfony 1.2 features

hi, we all knows tht symfony 1.2 is released . today i want to write about some symfony 1.2 features.

Features
The admin generator will be rewritten from scratch to leverage the new form framework. The main goal is to provide a more customizable and a more flexible admin generator.

The Propel plugin and the Doctrine plugin will be bundled with symfony 1.2. So, as of symfony 1.2, the core team will officially support Doctrine as a first class citizen.

The development of secure applications has always been quite easy with symfony thanks to the use of the ORM, the output escaper, and the CSRF protection. Symfony 1.2 will go one step further by providing native input filtering. We will base this feature on the new filter extension bundled with PHP 5.2.

The framework must simplify the life of the developer on repetitive and boring activities. As most applications send emails, the Swift library, one of the most feature-full and flexible solution for sending emails in PHP, will be integrated into the core.

The JavaScript world evolves very quickly, with lot of great frameworks available (prototype, jQuery, Dojo, mootools, and YUI). all the JavaScript stuff available into a plugin.
The project:deploy task was just a proof of concept. So, it is time to start a discussion on the features we need for a proper deployment task.

The routing is now cached, so you can expect a significant performance boost when you got plenty of routes in your app. Also, the routing class is no more a singleton so you can now extend and reference it easily to fit your needs,

you can download symfony 1.1 from below given  links .

sf_sandbox_1_1.tgz

sf_sandbox_1_1.zip

you can upgrade your existing symfony project into symfony1.2.

Joomla! Resources Directory Launched

In response to overwhelming interest and requests from the Joomla community, the Joomla Project is pleased to announce the Joomla Resource Directory goes online today at resources.joomla.org. If you're a Joomla user, there's no easier way to find developers, service providers, and other valuable resources.

"We think this will be a great way to connect end-users and service providers in the Joomla Community," said Wendy Robinson of the JRD Team."Most small businesses can't afford to advertise on the Joomla.org sites and this will provide them wide exposure. With close to a million visitors and 14 million page views a month, the JED has proven that there is wide interest in products related to Joomla."

The JRD builds on the success of the JED—the most popular place to find Joomla Extensions. Both are powered by the Mosets Tree 2.1 directory extension, a GPL extension that also powers the Joomla Site Showcase.

If you're a service provider, listing in the Resource Directory is free of charge (premium listings will be offered in the future for a fee). This includes consultants, template designers, tutorial sites, and just about any other Joomla service. Users can post reviews of these services and share their experiences with the community.

Drupal 6.13 and 5.19 released

Drupal 6.13 and 5.19, maintenance releases fixing problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as critical security vulnerabilities, are now available for download. Both releases fix some other smaller issues as well.

Upgrading your existing Drupal 5 and 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in these releases. For more information about the Drupal 6.x release series, consult the Drupal 6.0 release announcement, more information on the 5.x releases can be found in Drupal 5.0 release announcement.

Now symfony with netbeans also

Last week, the NetBeans team announced that the next version of their IDE (6.8) will have native support for symfony! That's a great news for all of us. They have a dedicated page in their Wiki about symfony support in NetBeans, and the NetBeans 6.8 nightly builds already have some basic support for symfony, like the ability to run a task. To learn more, read Tomas Mysik's blog post about what is already available. That's exiting, and I think we need to help them building a great IDE for symfony. I highly encourage you to download a 6.8 build, test it with your own projects, and give them feedback.

Symfony

A framework streamlines application development by automating many of the patterns employed for a given purpose. A framework also adds structure to the code, prompting the developer to write better, more readable, and more maintainable code. Ultimately, a framework makes programming easier, since it packages complex operations into simple statements.

Symfony is a complete framework designed to optimize the development of web applications by way of several key features. For starters, it separates a web application’s business rules, server logic, and presentation views. It contains numerous tools and classes aimed at shortening the development time of a complex web application. Additionally, it automates common tasks so that the developer can focus entirely on the specifics of an application. The end result of these advantages means there is no need to reinvent the wheel every time a new web application is built!

Symfony was written entirely in PHP 5. It has been thoroughly tested in various real-world projects, and is actually in use for high-demand e-business websites. It is compatible with most of the available databases engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. It runs on *nix and Windows platforms. Let’s begin with a closer look at its features.

Creative Uses for PHP

If you’re a familier with the word ‘PHP’ then here is some useful creative uses for it.

E-Commerce

E-commerce is one of the major uses for PHP. From a small business level to an enterprise level, businesses are always looking to create additional streams of revenue online. If you know how to integrate existing e-commerce solutions or build your own from scratch, this gives you a distinct advantage with your clients.

Beginners

• Magento


• Zen Cart


• Shopify

Advanced Coders

· CodeIgniter

· CakePHP.

Graphical User Interface

If PHP is your favorite programming language, then you can use some of these PHP extensions to get you started creating GUI applications.

• PHP GTK - This extension is a popular open source that implements the GIMP toolkit


• ZZEE PHP GUI - A paid solution that allows you to turn your PHP scripts into Windows applications

Image Processing and Generation

Using the GD library with PHP, you can do more than just output HTML to the browser! You can output images in different file types including jpeg, png, and gif. This feature of PHP is useful because it allows you to create thumbnail pictures, add watermarks, resize and crop images, and even create a photo gallery!

Mailing Lists

You can write your own script to send e-mail newsletters to your client, or use a ready-made script. The PHP online documentation explains PHP mailing functions in more detail. There are also scripts you can download and install on your website:

• PHP list

Developing Facebook Applications

You can integrate Facebook with your website using PHP. If you have developed Facebook applications using another language or you would like to get started with PHP, the Facebook developer's wiki can help you to get started.

Create Graphs and Charts

Do you need visual representations of numbers on your site? PHP can create graphs and charts too! Using Image_Graph, you can create up to fourteen different types of charts including pie charts, bar graphs,.

Generating PDF Files

The PDF format is Adobe's proprietary file type for document exchange. Using a library called PDFLib, you can generate PDF files with PHP. This library is already included with PHP5; to access it, you need to uncomment the appropriate lines in your PHP configuration file. An example of why creating PDF files might come in useful is, if you were building an online invoicing application and you wanted to output an HTML-generated invoice in PDF format.

Parsing XML Files

PHP allows you to parse XML files. Parsing XML is an important feature of PHP 5 because not all browsers can output the contents of an XML file; so you can create a parser in PHP to facilitate this process. Using XML is important for RSS feeds, and also for data storage and rendering data on different devices - for example, cell phones use an implementation of XML called WML (Wireless Markup Language). Working with XML files in PHP is similar to handling the opening, closing, and reading of a file.

Content Management Systems

One of the most popular uses of PHP is creating or using Content Management System. A good CMS allows your clients to update their website and add content without any in-depth knowledge of HTML and CSS. You can use one of the widely available free or commercial solutions listed below:

• Drupal


• Wordpress


• Joomla

Create Dynamic Website Templates

Using PHP, you can make it easier to add pages and elements to your websites dynamically. You begin by creating the HTML page and splitting it into the header, main content, and footer sections. Add the .php extension to your subsequent pages and use server-side Includes for the header and footer for each new page. You can also have dynamic sidebars and top navigation sections. As a matter of fact, the more "templated" your site is, the easier it is to update the content.

Building an Online Community

You can build your own PHP-driven online community, or choose from widely available scripts that you can implement into your website. Some popular ones include:

• php BB


• vBulletin


• Pun BB

from kiran vadariya :)

Charts and analysis for your site

In this ever increasing era of web development, the facilities and features given by desktop application is also wanted and must given by the web application. Because of the business spread across the many places the web is also preferred now over the desktop applications.

Charts are for analyzing the data stored by the database of if any. Thankfully there is one open source library based on Prototype Framework of javascript is available named Protochart.

ProtoChart using Prototype and Canvas to create good looking charts. like
* Line, bar, pie, curve, mix, and area charts available

Introducing GWT [google web toolkit] :)

What does this mean for you? It is easier than ever to create sophisticated web applications entirely in the Java language with Google Web Toolkit while working productively in Eclipse. And the moment you're finished, with only a few button clicks you can upload and publish your application to the world on App Engine.

In GWT 1.6, we've tried to make common tasks simpler while making it possible to do even more advanced things. If you're brand new to GWT, some of this is going to sound like gibberish, so you'll also want to take a look at the Product Overview as a gentler introduction.

Direct support for war output and related tools

• GWT 1.6 changes the conventions for project organization to center on the standard Java web archive deployment structure. This new war support makes it easier to introduce GWT modules into existing web applications. It also makes GWT development more flexible by allowing hosted mode to work easily with any standard servlet container.


• In conjunction, there is a new webAppCreator tool which replaces the older projectCreator and applicationCreator tools. It is a unified, war-aware tool that can quickly create a working GWT module, configuration files, source files, and an ant build file that you can use as a starting point for your own code.


• And, of course, it's pretty easy to create a war directory layout that you can upload to App Engine.

Hosted mode and compiler enhancements

• Hosted mode has been enhanced to take advantage of the new war-centric project structure to provide additional conveniences. For example, the new "Restart Server" button reloads server-side code without you having to restart your debugger, which can save you time when you're developing RPC services. Also, for you GWT experts out there using hosted mode with your own custom servers — if you know what "-noserver" is, I'm talking to you — you'll be glad to know that hosted mode integration "just works" now; generated resources such as bundled image files are automatically recreated when you refresh the hosted browser. This, too, can help speed up your development cycle.


• Hosted mode has also been modified to work smoothly with EMMA's offline instrumentation, so that you can easily generate code coverage reports. If you're an Eclipse user, in addition to using the new Google Plugin for Eclipse, you should also look at EclEmma, which makes it easy to enable code coverage for any launch configuration.


• Finally, the GWT compiler has gone parallel. It can compile multiple output permutations in parallel using the new -localWorkers flag, which can speed up web mode compiles noticeably on multi-core machines. In more elaborate build systems, it is also possible now to do parallel distributed compiles using the new compiler lifecycle classes Precompile, CompilePerms, and Link.

New widgets and a shiny new approach to event handling

• A big change that you will surely notice is GWT's overhauled event handling. The new Handler pattern for managing widget events is easier to understand and more succinct than in previous releases. Widget writers can also easily create their own custom events.


• The customizable and internationalized DatePicker is now a standard widget, and the new LazyPanel helps you speed up your code by delaying the creation of widgets until they're actually needed.


• There's also a new API for triggering browser native events programmatically, which is a real boon for unit testing.

As usual, there are many more improvements than we can list above. The issue tracker has the full list of changes. We hope that these new features in GWT 1.6 will seem like only the beginning, though, as you start to using GWT alongside the new Google Plugin for Eclipse and deploying your code on App Engine. There's lots more to come on how these technologies work together to help you do cool new stuff faster.

Last but not least, the GWT team will be at Google I/O on May 27-28, giving in-depth sessions on GWT and eager to hear your feedback on these new features. We hope you'll join us.

As an added bonus, the framework is also more lightweight and much faster. This session will give you a feeling of the power of Symfony 2.0 by introducing the main new components of the framework.

It's realy good and nice one framework of PHP5.So let's begin toward it.

Benefits of Prototyping in Web Development

Prototyping is a phase in web development which involves developing a working model of a system or in this case, a website. But is prototyping really that important? Can we just skip that part and head on to the actual coding? Oh yes, by all means you can but for sure your website would be a mess.

Imagine making a movie without a script. Imagine making a building without a blueprint. It's a disaster. Everything should be planned ahead before diving to the actual development process.

Prototyping is essential in web development. First of all, it enhances the requirements of the system. The team would let the user interact with the prototype and from there the user would give the developers their feedback.

These feedback would then translate to improved functions, hence, enhances the specs that was initially given. It also helps in finalizing the requirements of the system. Nothing is more annoying than fickle minded project managers. Therefore, prototyping is really the best solution to avoid adding and modification of specs come coding time.

Now, if you're thinking of developing a website or a system for that matter, make a prototype. It'll save you time and effort which in return saves you money. At the end of the day, it's the quality of the work that matters for the clients. That's why an organized approach such as prototyping is a must.
