Zikula is a multilingual and W3C HTML standard compliant weblog/content management system (CMS). It creates an impressive, dynamic web site and provides the webmaster with a site they can administer with a minimal amount of HTML knowledge through a web browser.

It is secure and stable, and is able to work in high-volume environments with ease. It provides a standard API and extensive documentation to allow for easy extension of your web site's functionality through modules and blocks, with support for CSS stylesheets.

[Prior to June 2008, Zikula was known as PostNuke]

Flexible WebApplication Framework

  by kaffeeringe.de

Although Postnuke is originated in the world of portal software it has developed into a full-fledged web application framework.

Sure there are all the classic elements of a portal software: A not too small core package and modules for forums, galleries, news aso. But due to the templating (Smarty) and the systematic object library Postnuke .8 helps you create a complex web application in no time.

The modules serve as a basis ... [More] , which means you don't have to reinvent the wheel to have a forum but Postnuke supports many ways of customization and it is very easy to connect functions of various modules with core functions and your own custom code.

For simpler requirements "Pagesetter" is a module that generates custom content modules via point&click. For the more advanced use cases the API helps you achieving a rapid development.

I run about a dozen sites on Postnuke and I am surprised again and again how powerful Postnuke is. [Less]

Zikula really engage my Development

  by Mateo Tibaquirá Palacios

Find Zikula was a really good hit in my life. All the things that I wanted in a system I found them in Zikula.

Relate modules through Hooks, separation between the logic and the presentation, facility to develop, customizations of the look and feel with ease... a lot of cool stuff!

Places to share: The Cozi, Wiki, mailing-list and the support Forum!

I'm happy in the Zikula Community!

    PostNuke Officially Discontinued

    Posted 4 days ago

    As of July 1, 2009, PostNuke, legacy predecessor to Zikula, is officially discontinued (End Of Life). There will be no further development, security-related or otherwise, of the product. All users are asked to migrate to Zikula, where further ... [More] development continues.

    This decision was made by the Zikula Steering Committee in the second quarter of 2008 and announced on June 6, 2008. As of this writing, the Zikula development team will begin implementing the tasks outlined therein. Specifically, the support forums for PostNuke will be archived for reference only and will be unavailable for posting (posting PostNuke-related questions in other forums will result in a polite request to upgrade ).

    On February 2, 2009, the Zikula Development Team introduced a Migration Distribution which allows Site Admins to more easily migrate their PostNuke .764 installation to Zikula 1.1.1. (Note that the migration distribution will not be updated to current versions of Zikula.) This distribution will continue to remain available in the cozi download area. Additions and improvements to that distribution are added to the documentation in the Wiki (Migrating to Zikula from PostNuke .764) and support for such migrations will continue in the Support Forum. In addition, webmasters needing expert assistance in their migration may hire a professional. Please contact them through http://zikulapro.com/. [Less]

    A while ago several Value Addon modules had been separated from the core. This article gives a short overview about what is happening to them and how you can help with that.

    Server Donation

    Posted 3 months ago

    I’d like to thank Brian from Neosurge for donating the use of a powerful quad core server for the Zikula Community website.  As you know we’ve been a little strained recently under the load.  Brian (aka paradoxic) was with the project right ... [More] at the beginning but moved on to run his own hosting and web-consultancy business since 2002 so he certainly knows his stuff. [Less]

    Camp-Zikula 2009, it's prepared!

    Posted 3 months ago

    The Camp of 2009 will take place from 14.08 to 16.08.2009. Our location is an education center at Georgsmarienhütte, a village near Osnabrueck in the north of Germany. This gives us new possibilities. We will have our meeting at the same place as ... [More] the hotel.

    The location is equipped very well. We can use the built in projector, use the wlan and DSL6000 connection at our meeting room. For Friday we rented the barbeque place. The kitchen told me, special wishes like diet or vegetarian are no problem. Just let us know at registration. [Less]

    Thoughts about Themes

    Posted 3 months ago

    In last couple of days I dug deep into the Zikula theme system to find some very cool stuff: Themevariables are my latest discovery. But I also found the whole system pretty inconsistent. I know the development team is already working on the (re-)integration of pnRender and Theme. But there is more to it than just combining the two.
