Mura CMS

 Our June Mura CMS training courses were so popular, we're presenting them again this October. We've got 3 different courses available - if you take all 3 we're offering an almost $400 discount! There's no better way to gain an in-depth understanding of how to get the most out of Mura CMS. 

We're pleased to announce the availability of our new Mura CMS training courses, held in Sacramento, California. We're offering 3 different courses - Admin/User training, CSS/Designer Training and Programmer Training. These full-day training courses will provide you with in-depth understanding of how to get the most out of Mura CMS, from content updates to creating new Mura CMS plug-ins. 

We've just completed the first draft of a new round of documentation for programmers looking to get the most out of Mura CMS. In it, we cover topics like using the Mura Tag, the Mura event model, the new Mura Scope, extending base Mura types, creating Mura plugins, and much more.

This week will mark a milestone for the Mura Show. We'll have a guest presenter, designer Ronnie Duke from Mod Media. Like myself, Ronnie is not a CFML programmer and will be walking through the process of taking a design in Adobe Illustrator to creating a new theme for use in Mura.

In the past, integrating third-party or existing applications into Mura has always been possible, but only if your application had a front end controller (e.g. written in FuseBox/Model Glue/Mach II/etc). Due to recent changes, it's it is now possible to integrate an existing ColdFusion/CFML application without a front-end controller into Mura CMS.

Today we begin Part 4 of converting Charlie Arehart's CArehart.org to Mura CMS. We'll begin breaking the Articles, Presentations and CF411 sections into a more structured architecture, allowing increased usability and functionality.

For a while now we have been keeping a nifty little plugin in plain site, yet hidden away. This is our Coldspring plugin. It's been living the lonely life within our Plugins & Events page just waiting for the day to get out and show the world what it can do. Well in this blog post we are going to give that opportunity.

Just this last weekend I was working on a Mura project and needed to hook into Google Analytics to get some metrics. So l did what any normal red blooded developer would do. Create a new account with Google Analytics, copy the Analytics js code that Google provides you and paste it into my Mura template right above the </body> tag. Very simple.
