MantisBT is a free open source web-based bug tracking system developed using the PHP programming language. Initial development on the software was started in 2000 by Kenzaburo Ito, but two years later he was joined by others developers who helped extend MantisBT features and capabilities, releasing new versions. While Mantis Bug Tracker was initially intended to track software defects, it can also be configured to be a more general bug and issue tracking system, making it resemble the usability of a project management tool.

One of the most important MantisBT features of version 1.2.0, which was released in 2012, was the introduction of an event driven plugin system. This opened the way for the development of new extensions and plugins that ultimately help enhance current MantisBT features. Given that it’s a bug tracking system and users need to stay connected to the status of each issue, MantisBT offers email notifications based on changes being made to issues in the system. It also allows users to configure what types of email they want to receive and set different filters. An RSS feed is available that shows issues that have been resolved, and it comes integrated with Twitter via a plugin. This allows for a notification to be tweeted every time a issue is resolved.

Other examples of MantisBT features include the ability to set user access control levels depending on project and the ability to fully customize your issue fields, notifications and workflow. If you want to get a more comprehensive MantisBT review you can use the links above to login to our MantisBT demo. The admin demo will show you how you can customize your workflow.

DokuWiki CMS is an Open Source wiki software created using PHP that works on plain text files and allows users to create and edit pages using a web browser. Thanks to its flexibility, simple to use syntax and the fact that it doesn’t require a database, the DokuWiki CMS grew its popularity and proved its utility amongst a high group of users.

While DokuWiki was officially released in July 2004 by Andreas Gohr, the CMS started to gain traction after a series of improvements that included a fresh new design, the ability to handle bigger documentation projects and the introduction of a generic plugin interface that paved the way for future development, easy maintenance and add-ons. All these changes led to the introduction of the DokuWiki CMS in the Linux distributions Debian and Gentoo Linux in July 2005, which significantly boosted its reputation.

Since then the DokuWiki community grew and new releases focused on bugfixes, support for new technologies and user interface improvements. Setting up a DokuWiki demo is extremely easy and you can even customize the download by choosing the version, languages and most popular plugins you want to install on your online demo. A quick DokuWiki review will prove that this Wiki software has many advantages compared to similar software and supports customization on different levels of expertise. For example, you can login to your admin demo and configure some of the DokuWiki features using the Configuration Manager, download plugins and templates developed by the community or even develop your own extensions.

The DokuWiki features include access control levels where an admin can provide users with different permissions, turning it into the perfect collaborative tool for teams, workgroups, small to medium sized companies or a corporate knowledge base. The revision control feature keeps track of any changes and allows users to compare current versions of one page to older ones, while also preventing multiple users from editing a page at the same time through a locking mechanism. While it was originally intended as a lightweight CMS DokuWiki began resembling a more conventional Content Management System thanks to its constant development.

Two of the most important DokuWiki features are the plugins, which can be easily integrated and managed using the plugin manager, and customizing the appearance of your wiki page through templates. The DokuWiki themes are provided by the development community and you can browse through examples, click on them for preview, download the one you like and install it on your DokuWiki demo site to see how it will look. However, some features of the DokuWiki themes change as new versions get released, so the best thing you can do is choose a template that was released at the same time or after the CMS version you are using.

Just like any other CMS DokuWiki is focused on making life easier for its users by providing support for over 50 languages and low system requirements. It’s device independent and a simple DokuWiki demo shows how easy the installation process is and that you don’t have to try too hard to understand how everything works. DokuWiki is available free of charge under the GNU General Public License Version 2 and there are a number of ways you can give back to the community.

What is Drupal?

Drupal CMS is a free open source content management system developed using PHP as a programming language. The software was initially built by Dries Buytaert and released on May 18, 2000 as a message board. One year later it became an open source project and started expanding its features and building awareness. However, interest in Drupal CMS got a significant boost in 2003 when it helped build Howard Dean’s website, one of the candidates for the 2004 US presidential election. The website called DeanSpace facilitated communication between users, as well as with the campaign.

New versions were released constantly and Drupal features got better with each release. Drupal 7 was released on January 5, 2011 and marked a stopping point for Drupal 5 maintenance. One year later the community of developers started working on Drupal 8, and finally on November 15, 2015 it was released. Drupal 8 is the latest major release available for download, with subsequent and minor released being developed regularly.

Starting with 2014, the development of Drupal CMS moved into the hands of the community. The constant updates in terms of themes, design, plugins and modules offered by the community increased the software’s popularity, reaching more than 1.180.000 sites who use Drupal as of January 2017. But the market share was not the only one who kept on growing. As of January 2018, the Drupal community has more than 1.3 million members with over 100.000 users who are actively contributing to the project, developing new Drupal features, more than 40.000 free modules that extended current functionality and over 2.500 free Drupal themes available for download.

Setting up a Drupal Demo.

Using Drupal as a CMS allows you to manage your pages, content, create a blog for your Drupal website or create your own Drupal shop demo. If you want to get a complete Drupal review you can click on the links above to login to our Drupal demo. Use the site login for the backend to see how the admin demo looks like.

Our Drupal CMS demo allows you to try Drupal online without downloading it and going through the install process.

If you want to set up your own Drupal demo site you can download the software using the link below and make sure you check the server requirements to make sure your Drupal demo will work properly. Drupal 8 works on any web server with PHP version of 5.5.9 or greater and PHP 7.2 is supported for version 8.5.0. If you run into any problems while setting up your Drupal demo you can find a tutorial online that will walk you through everything from the demo installation to changing its design by installing a demo theme. Even though Drupal offers a powerful API that helps developers create extensions and extend current functionality, basic Web-site installation and administration of the framework requires no programming skills.

Given that its a popular CMS Drupal powers at least 2.3% of all websites worldwide. Drupal examples include personal websites and blogs, corporate websites or political and government sites. Some Drupal examples of schools and universities are the Harvard University Magazine, Portland State University, Duke University and University of Calgary in Canada.

Drupal CMS comes with some core modules that provide a lot of features like access statistics, advanced search, caching for improved performance, multi-level menu system, user profiles and workflow tools. With the release of Drupal 7, web accessibility has been greatly improved by the community and the support of WAI-ARIA support for Rich Internet Applications has been carries further in Drupal 8. All of this led to improving the administrator page template and the user interface by adding drag and drop functionality, labels by default for input forms and fixing CSS display.

Drupal 8 is the biggest update in the history of this content management system bringing built-in themes with responsive design. It’s available in 100 languages, making it a great choice for all types of websites, from simple presentation websites to complex ecosystems. Drupal maintains a detailed changelog of core feature updates by version, so you can easily check the new features and bug fixes available with each version.

However, just like any other CMS Drupal has had its share of criticism, with many arguing that the Drupal 6 administrator interface was hard to use and intimidating especially to new administrators. When it comes to becoming a Drupal developer, the content management system is known to have a learning curve and it can be difficult to learn. While unit-testing was a problem in the past, Drupal 8 has taken a great stride in making it easier for developers to write unit-testable code. Nevertheless, this hasn’t stopped Drupal CMS from gaining a well deserved place amongst the most popular content management systems on the market, especially given that it’s free. The latest version available for download is 8.5.0 and was released on March 7, 2018 under the GPLv2 license.

What is WordPress?

WordPress CMS is a free open source content management system based on PHP and MySQL developed by the WordPress Foundation and released under the GNU GPLv2+ license. A recent study developed by W3Techs showed that WordPress is being used by 29,2% of all websites across the Globe. It may not seem like a big number, but in reality compared to other content management systems, it has a market share of 59.9% and it’s likely to grow even further. It’s probably safe to say that as a CMS WordPress is the most popular website management and blogging system, but also the fastest growing publishing platform with a new website within the top 10 million using WordPress CMS every 74 seconds.

WordPress CMS was first release on May 23rd, 2003 by its founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, as a fork of b2/cafelog, which at that time was installed on approximately 2000 blogs. The new publishing platform grew slowly but steadily over the years, and in 2009 Open Source CMS MarketShare Report gave this content management system its much deserved recognition stating that WordPress CMS had the greatest brand strength of any open-source content management system.

Some of the most powerful WordPress features include customizable and mobile friendly designs with the ability to choose from a large number of WordPress themes offered by the community, high security and a powerful media management tool. If you’re interested in a WordPress shop demo you should know that WooCommerce is a fully customizable, open source e-commerce plugin used by many online merchants regardless of their size.

Setting up a WordPress Demo.

There is no one reason why so many websites are using this CMS, but if you want to create your own WordPress website there are some things you need to know. In order to get a full WordPress review, the best thing you can do is try WordPress online, setup a theme with demo content and go through the WordPress features one by one in order to truly understand its power. Setting up a WordPress CMS demo is not that complicated and if you need any help you can find an online tutorial that explains all the steps you need to take for a demo installation.

After you install it you need to learn how to make changes to your new website. Login to the backend using the credentials you’ve created when installing the CMS and start getting used to your new WordPress admin demo. The first thing you can do is choose one of the WordPress themes available. Given that WordPress has the support of a strong community, you can browse through and preview a lot of WordPress themes, plugins or extensions offered by third party developers. Some of them are not free of charge, but they enhance your website by providing a unique page template and new features.

Sometimes watching a simple WordPress CMS demo is not enough to get the full picture of what this publishing platform can do. So if you’re looking for WordPress examples, keep in mind that some of the most powerful institutions in the world decided to use WordPress CMS. NASA, the United States Army and strong news and entertainment websites like Forbes, TechCrunch or TimeINC are just a few of the websites that decided to take advantage of all the WordPress features.

Learning how to use this content management system is not hard, and you can always watch an WordPress admin panel demo tutorial that will enable you to customize your WordPress demo site. However, if that’s not something you’re interested in you can always find a developer willing to create your website as per your requirements. Some of them will even show you a WordPress preview of how your website will look like by setting up an online demo and providing you with a site login to both the frontend and backend.

Throughout time WordPress has struggled with some security issues that have been uncovered on the software, but new releases have fixed all those problems. Right after version 1.0 was launched, all the following main releases of WordPress were codenamed after well-known jazz musicians. The latest version, 5.6, was launched on August 11, 2020.

In terms of development and support you can find all the information you need and documentation regarding the development of new plugins, extensions or WordPress themes on their official website WordPress.org. That’s also the place where you will find an active community willing to help out.

While compared to any other CMS WordPress has come a long way, Matt Mullenweg wants to expand its capabilities and believes that the future of WordPress is in social, mobile, and as an application platform.
