TXP:CMS growing rapidly

zero · 2015-08-18 18:23:26

I gave Bert the txpcms domains because textpattern “won the domain name vote”, so to speak. And Bert’s been busy. He’s taken Textpattern, added Bootstrap and quickly made mobile-friendly themes, using them on the sites below.

TXP:CMS links to four sites in the TXP family.

TXP:Themes has a blog and some themes as proof of concept. Includes official TXP themes.

TXP:Tags is a mobile-friendly Tag reference.

TXP:Planet has up-to-date news feeds from several TXP sites.

We Love TXP has also undergone the new theme treatment and is now up-to-date again with some newly added Textpattern sites.

There’s also txpcms.net and txpcms.org and probably others I haven’t discovered yet.

Besides linking to some useful resources, I’m posting here because I think Bert deserves some thanks and appreciation for his energy and enthusiasm, spreading the word about Textpattern and making TXP more user-friendly. Thanks, Bert!

Is that a fork of Textpattern Bert is working on? He said that he’s made his last post on the forums…

Yes, Bert’s very passionate about Textpattern so he’s forking it. It’s going to be interesting!

So is he promoting Textpattern or his fork of Textpattern?

Is it really a fork of Textpattern proper or more of a repackaging of Textpattern – alternate name, website(s), plus additional templates, themes, etc.?

Am I the only one who thinks that creating a new CMS with a name and an icon (hammer/chisel) that is very confusing to users of the real TXP. I don’t see any code for a fork yet.

It doesn’t seem to be a fork, rather a repackaging as @maverick says. I’m not sure what the intention is, but certainly if he is looking to create a new CMS it shouldn’t be with the TXP branding i.e with the hammer/chisel as that would be confusing to say the least.

Ruud, you are mentioned here in case you hadn’t seen.

LOL… that isn’t my linkedin profile he’s linking to.

jstubbs · 2015-08-20 14:19:51

Ahh….! I just found the real you on LinkedIn. ;)

Bert says it’s a fork and he’s planning code changes but it’s also a repackaging and a re-presentation. If you click on the TXP logos they take you to textpattern.com. He told me he loves Bootstrap and has a stack of themes coming. So, as I see it, new users with few technical skills will have more themes to choose from. Seems the forum don’t want that audience, but Bert does.
