Latest version of pro_News CM released. This is the version you will want if you are using 9.2.3 or later, or indeed any earlier version of Pro_News.

Find it here.

Straightforward upgrade from any earlier version, no uninstall required.

Yes, you read that correctly, I'm opening a small template store here at layingback.net.

The Template Exchange concept never really worked out, so I'm closing that forum. [ At least I don't have to archive the 0 themes which have accumulated there! ]

I'm a long time supporter of RMS (Stallman) and his GNU GPL2 and later, so rest assured that Pro_News is and will remain F/OSS: Free Libre Open Source Software. And staying with GPL2 until or unless DragonflyCMS goes GPL3. But in the meantime I need some coin to rub together, so I have come up with additional themes myself.    _PNMORE ...

Pro_News 3.2.1 is available.

Included are the Featured Content Slider which can be used to display a large number of pictures in a small space, as a slideshow alternative or both, and a Coppermine hack to allow Batch Upload without resorting to ftp. Plus a few small improvements, details on download page.    _PNMORE ...

A screen shot of the final version of the (future) Featured Content Slider is on the left, but you can test out a live version in the demo below. (Click read more to view.) This Slider was created by simply selecting a Photo Album, as previously, and using a brand new template. No changes to the Submit Article user interface at all. Now, instead of the Photo Album images appearing as separate images on the page as before, they appear in a single Slider. No formating or anything else special for the submitter to do!    _PNMORE ...

As any of you who've been following will know, I wanted to add a "Featured Content" like display into Pro_News. (If you don't know what I mean by Featured Content, then do a search on DragonflyCMS for the post by greenday2k, or take a look at the original developers Dynamic Drive.)

Anyway, I've got it working, see screen capture alongside. Note this is ENTIRELY done in Pro_News template, no change to Pro_News code at all. A strong vindication as to the power of Pro_News templates!    _PNMORE ...

Just to let everyone know that the latest and greatest Pro_News is now available, initially just for Sponsors, but now for all Registered Members

A lot of small but useful enhancements mostly, the sort of thing which makes building and running the site easier, even if you can't actually put your finger on exactly what changed. Most every annoyance I found when building Pro_News centric websites have been addressed, all minor though I must say, along with all the enhancements requested.

Plus the Submit Article screen has been made much more approachable.    _PNMORE ...
