FrameworxLite Demo

This site is an example of how FCKEditor and CKFinder can be used with C# to create content management functionality. You can access the admin area at here. Note in this demo save and uploading is disabled.

FCKEditor is a long standing open source project to develop a lightweight but powerful cross-platform HTML editor. It supports most major browsers. You can find out more about FCKEditor here. Combined with the ajax file manager CKFinder its a killer combination.

This demo site and the C# application behind it is a working example of how create a simple content management system. Its NOT supposed to be an example in cutting edge development. I see so many people asking the same questions all the time about setting up FCKEditor that I thought I'd code an example. The FrameworxLite.CMS assembly that this site uses is a cut down version of a much larger content management system, developed by Frame Digital. Almost all the features have been disabled - remember this application is only to show how to use FCKEditor.

To run this site you'll need a computer with IIS and SQL Server running on it. Unless you are really masochistic Visual Studio would also be useful. Download the source code for this site, including the database here. The source code is released under the GNU General Public License, feel free to do what you want with it, but please give credit where credit is due ;-) There is a more detailed article explaining the inner workings of the CMS at this blog post.

The other pages in this demo site show different examples of how the site can serve pages of content that have been edited using FCKEditor.
