Introduction
The Crowd Fusion CMS is a set of plugins built for flexibility and scale on top of a PHP web application framework, codenamed Sprung. The aim of the continuing development of this combination open framework and CMS is to build a growing collection of quality plugins and services to support potentially every feature set, enabling users of the platform to build an audience around any type of content.
Crowd Fusion contains a node content repository at the core of our framework. Unlike traditional RDBMS data models, the node content repository is designed around a model that more closely matches the structure of a website. Every node can be thought of as a single web page, every page's meta attributes can be thought of as the content of that page and all the tags that link out to other nodes can be considered hyperlinks to other pages. Nodes in a Crowd Fusion database are designed to exist at a single public URL, so the location of your content within Crowd Fusion is based on its actual location on the web. All of this data relationship tagging is managed using the Crowd Fusion CMS's simple tagging widget.
