Crowd Fusion Features

Features of the Crowd Fusion CMS

The Crowd Fusion CMS features tools for editing news pages and building data-rich, structured profile pages modeled from simple XML templates. Page-based tagging establishes strong relationships between pages in a site, doing away with fragile string tags. The Crowd Fusion CMS also includes an integrated feed reader, member and permission controls, comment management and an integrated media library with support for automatic thumbnail creation.

Features of the Framework:

The framework on which the Crowd Fusion CMS runs is an extremely customizable, object-oriented framework that attempts to make no assumptions on the implementation details of your application. Coded to common interfaces, the framework ships with expected low-level libraries and support for more full-featured 3rd party libraries and tools. Additionally the framework features an MVC layer that supports both HTTP and command line requests, and a rapid designer-friendly template engine. The plug-in architecture centers around a publisher/subscriber event model and an inversion of control container that wires together objects and configures applications. Crowd Fusion does not require any PECL extensions or PEAR library dependencies nor does it require any command-line code generation.
