What is Forge?

Definitely a shame as the nearest thing to this would be the now unmaintained NSN Projects.
I think there is STILL a definite need for this, after all, developers are still making modules, blocks and other things for nuke but the problem as always, is time - lack of it!

Yeah, I know... probably a dead project. Sad

However, many of the principles from NukeForge will apply towards newsletter generation and I also like what Kevin has done with nukeSEO/nukeFEED, so will be taking some ideas from there.

Take all you want - many came from discussions with you! Smile

Thanks kguske! It is quite interesting as I have seen your nukeSEO and nukeFEED evolve and I have started to see how content could be "delivered" to almost any source and it makes we wonder if these nuke modules (the core nuke modules I mean) could be re-factored somehow to separate out the "data providers" from the logic and get to true re-usability there on the content (data) side. Seems to me that it could be possible, just need to figure out what the common interfaces would be...

That's the benefit of an object oriented approach.

I've been thinking about it in terms of search, sitemap (analogous to a search for everything) , feeds, waiting content, ...

Of course, none of that is as sexy as a real application (newsletter, calendar, etc.). But, I really need to update nukeSEO so it's fit to include with RN...

You are kidding right?
That is the one thing that RN needs and doesn't have!

Not kidding about the content objects not being sexy, and not kidding about updating nukeSEO. Sorry for the confusion caused by putting the two in the same sentence...

No I meant you were kidding it wasn't fit to be included with RN Smile

It's a fabulous tool!

Thanks, but it's far from RN standards for compliance, etc.

The next release will store META tags in a table, eliminating the need to write the meta.php file, which is so different in RN that it won't work with nukeSEO unless you replace it with a renamed copy of meta2.php that comes with nukeSEO.
