Seditio is a modular content management system and content management framework powered by PHP and MySQL.

The engine distinguishes itself from other content management systems by keeping the HTML code completely separate from the PHP. This allows graphic designers to create skins without having to know much PHP. Seditio can be skinned by editing pre-made skins supplied by the community, or easily making one's own by creating a template, and simply substituting for the TPL tags.

The engine sports the customary features of a CMS: Message boards, Administration tools, news system, polls, image gallery, user file uploading, page creation, user registration; additional features can be added to the default engine via plugins.

As a CMS, it can be extremely user-driven, requiring minimal input from moderators.

History

Seditio was created by Olivier C. on March 10th, 2006 as a supersession of the popular Land Down Under website engine. At this point Seditio has undergone seven revisions [Seditio Documentation - History http://neocrome.net/list.php?c=sd_hist] . A new version (125) is expected to be released soon [http://www.neocrome.net/page.php?id=2360 Neocrome - New Seditio licensing system & v125 ] ] , and the Seditio licensing system was changed .

Features

Seditio, while in some ways more basic than other content management systems, allows the possibility to be expanded and customized in every way. It is designed to be bare-bones and basic to prevent bloating of the core and leave additional features to be added at the choice of the individual website administrators. This has always been the central philosophy behind the design of the engine.

A system of plugins [Neocrome Plugins Directory http://www.neocrome.net/list.php?c=sed_plug] [Seditio Forge Plugins Directory http://www.seditioforge.com/plugins/] and modules are supported to allow for customization on virtually every level to suit the needs of the administrator.

The design and layout of each site is supported by Web templates [Neocrome Skins Directory http://www.neocrome.net/list.php?c=sed_skin] [ Neocrome International Skins Directory http://www.neocrome.net/list.php?c=sed_skin_intl] which allows the administrator to design a single or multiple templates to be used and chosen preference over by the users visiting the site.

Support for multilingual sites allows for templates and plugins to be customized to support a wide variety of users on a single site. In turn, this allows each site member to choose a suitable language through which to view the site.
