YACon: Yet Another CONtent management system

YACon was created for a client that had particular needs for a CMS that weren't easily addressed with existing software at the time. It is a little different from a traditional CMS in that it forgoes any layout management, with the intent being that YACon is a developer's toolkit for creating sites which can have users that create content.

Some of the features:

• user file management
  • each user gets their own sub-directory for image uploads
• user avatars
• built-in WYSIWYG editing within a django templated page
• HTML sanitizing of user content
• block level content management
  • multiple blocks on a page
  • blocks can show up across pages
• AJAX based admin tools for managing the pages and blocks
• multi-lingual support
• multi-site support

Dependencies

YACon depends a great deal on different 3rd-party libraries. Some of them are included in the repo (see 3rdparty ) in full for reference and have the pieces that were required copied into the static deployment directory. This was done to make it fairly easy to deploy YACon.

There are also a limited number of django libraries that are required. See the requirements.txt file for a list.

In addition to the above, the following dependencies are accessed via CDN:

• jquery-1.7.2
• jquery-ui-1.8.19
