Hello everybody! I finally recovered from the illness and can work as before. Here is my first after-illness post.
Recently I faced with the following problem:
I transfered CMS Made Simple from one host to another. Made everything correctly: updated config files, etc. But admin page started to show nothing, i.e. I always got blank page when [...]

I’m glad to introduce a new concrete5 theme: inove. This theme is a very popular one among wordpress users. There are over 70,000 downloads and this number is still growing. Most of the people like this theme, so we think it will be a success among concrete5 builders as well.
The theme has right sidebar and [...]

I had to customize sitemap.xml for my concrete5 to suit my needs. You might find it useful I hope.
So, the first problem is that change frequency for all pages defaults to ‘monthly’. There are 2 ways to solve this problem:

New theme for concrete5 (again converted from WP)

This very website is using vistalicious theme written by DailyBlogTips.com If you like the theme you can also use it on your concrete5-running website.
It supports right sidebar and left sidebar layouts, more details can be found here:
http://www.smartwebprojects.net/concrete5-design/vistalicious-theme/
It’s released under GPL license, so it’s absolutely free.

If you face with an error stating "Invalid file extension" when you try to upload some file to your concrete5 website, don’t worry. You can fix it by yourself.
I got such error when tried to upload a .zip archive. So here is a solution:
1. Open /concrete/config/base.php
2. Find the following line:
define(’UPLOAD_FILE_EXTENSIONS_ALLOWED’, ‘*.flv;*.jpg;*.gif;*.jpeg;*.docx;*.xla;*.png;*.swf;*.doc; *.txt;*.xls;*.csv;*.pdf;*.tiff;*.rtf;*.m4a;*.mov;*.wmv;*.mpeg; *.mpg;*.wav;*.avi;*.mp4;*.mp3;*.qt;*.ppt’);
3. Append your [...]

I was really impressed by concrete5. It provides so many ways for its customization. It took me not so much time to convert one of my templates into concrete5 theme. The process is really simple for anyone having basic experience in web development. So the basic steps are:
1. Create a new folder in themes directory.
2. [...]

If your PHP Expert Editor software (author: Ankord Development group) gets very slow, most probably the issue is caused by the fact that there are too many cursor positions remembered in the configuration file of php expert editor.
Php expert editor saves current cursor position for every file you open in php expert editor. All the [...]

Some time ago I found concrete 5 among the featured products on SF. I was quiet interested in trying that software.
Starting with you. The archive of the latest version is just 3MB (usually heavy cms software takes much more space).
The software is released under friendly MIT license and that is good for developers I believe.
