Skinning FarCry CMS 6.0 with Mat Bryant & Geoff Bowers

February 24 2010, 9:48 PM  by Geoff Bowers

FarCry CMS is built from the ground up to be customisable, extensible, and pluggable.  Mat Bryant & Geoff Bowers show how you can make your FarCry installation your own; building custom content types, skinning/theming websites, creating plugins and leveraging the FarCry Core framework to do your bidding.

CFMEETUP:
http://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/calendar/12651086/
Thurs. Feb 25, 6:00pm US ET (UTC/GMT-5)
(which is like 10am Friday, Sydney time -- i think)

Looks like I'm going to compere while Mat codes up a storm :)

We're going hardcore, re-skinning the Daemon website from an off the shelf HTML template set. We'll throw in some customisations as needed. So basically a full blown bona fide project rather than some pre-baked set demo piece. We'll probably get through a few templates and I'm hoping we can get across the main principles of making a FarCry installation your own.

For those who missed last week's installment "FarCry CMS 6.0", with Geoff Bowers:

Enjoy!

PS. we'll try and get a cut up of the recordings as MP4 for a podcast next week

    Is there an online demonstration of the administration area of FarCry CMS 6? I'd like to play around with it but I only see demos of version 5.
