4.0 Brainstorming

[charliepage88]

So a more overarching version of the brainstorming for the 4.0 beta, this is for any feature ideas / enhancements for 4.0 period. I'll include some of what I have myself, separately, below.

Here are some thoughts I have so far:

• Event hooks (named filters?)
• Multiple environments support
• Sync content/data across environments
• Offline mode
• Create a plugin interface in the admin
• Auto-update (optional)
• Site monitoring (main CMS sites and those whom install the cms). Alerts owners of their site going down, can check for 404/other errors as well as assist with overall error reporting.
• Backup/Restore
• Migrations: WordPress, Drupal?, ExpressionEngine?, Joomla?
• Site Types
• Theme Builder
• Multilingual? Or just depend on google translation?
• Glossary
  • Fully searchable
  • Broken up by (in order) - Module, Where (admin or public) and then name of glossary page with body content.
  • Plugin and theme support in respective JSON files. Or might be able to automatically update the list of glossary pages.
• Social Media Sharing plugin (FREE)
  • public - For posts and pages.
  • admin - can choose photo to be used? And description?
  • Admin - settings for each type of social media. (Username? For fb, twitter)
• Social Media Poster plugin (PAID)
  • Admin - settings page like above, except needing API stuff (twitter has two tokens I believe that are needed). links to glossary on how to generate/get those.
  • A little box area that appears using a filter or something, that allows you to put in a message (which we try to do a default of) and send it out to all hooked social media, or use the tabs to post individually to each social media - for example you might have a few paragraphs and a picture for FB, for twitter you may just have a headline and then a link to the post/page.
  • Admin page to make a manual post for social media.
  • Admin page to see some of the below:
    • Latest direct messages
    • Analytic type info on tweets/fb posts/etc.
• Tools: Turn debug on/off. Turn debug bar on/off.

I've just found this project. It's excellent!

About the translations topic, anything that is static text could use the laravel localization system (using a static file for each locale). And for the dynamic text or user created data, I don’t know at the moment how entities are managed internally, but there are some laravel packages to manage model translation.
