Release of ImpressCMS 1.0 'Janus' Beta2

The ImpressCMS Project has released an updated beta release of ImpressCMS 1.0 “Janus” Beta 2!

This release of ImpressCMS improves on the initial release, based on the XOOPS 2.0.17 core. This release continues in our commitment to provide a stable migration path for XOOPS users and an easy to use CMS for new users.

Please note this beta release is not intended for use on a production site. We encourage everyone to test it as much as possible! A release candidate and then a final will be expected soon.

Fixed and improved in beta 2 release:
w3c validation in impresstheme and impresstheme_light (sato-san)#1870346 System blocks not visible to added group (skenow/dave_l)No nice path from getNicePathFromId (MacDonald/malanciault)the $tpl XoopsTpl object used in htdocs/cp_functions.php and htdocs/admin.php had a too generic name which was creating conflict (with AltSys for example). The variable name was renamed for $icsmAdminTpl (malanciault)Error in xoops.css (display: inline-block) (MacDonald/malanciault)Problems in the queries executed when editing User Ranks (malanciault/vaughan)Adding a few @ in install/page_pathsettings.php to prevent the display of some errors that would confuse users (rplima/malanciault)Small display bug in user.php (incama/malanciault)Several security improvements (DSecRG/malanciault/fx2024)
