CMS sheds its baggage
For some time we have been moving our sites to a new enterprise level server environment. Transitioning sites between servers meant keeping our CMS in two environments and bounce between depending on which site was being edited. This became quite a task to keep both CMS’s up to date since one was php4 and the other php5.
The site transitions completed two weeks ago and we made some modifications to the CMS so it was not dependent on the old server. This weekend we made the switch and shed the php4 baggage and old server.
Working with such a large system can be difficult, especially since it has been coded over many years and still some legacy code exists. Having it in one environment will allow us to refactor that code quickly and get it into production.
First order of business is to update our WYSIWYG editor, this will allow us to support Safari and Opera finally.
Having the system just in one environment will also improve performance since it will not have to contact the slower server for information.
Happy editing.
