I love the looks of this CMS. I haven't used erlang before but this project could very well make me look into it more.
There's one issue though. Hosting… this won't be able to replace my current PHP/WordPress sites for clients as long as it's both a chore and costly to setup a hosting environment for it. Which is to bad.

There are multiple cheap vps hosters,it is also possible to host cheaply at WebFaction.

Excellent product, what about the Russian localization?
Marc Worrell
Posted 1 year, 5 months ago.
@iEdge You are welcome to submit it :-) We use gettext compatible .po files. There is support for the russian character set.

@Wendell You are welcome to support the project with your design work.

@Marc Worrell: to think about your proposal, may make sense to create a Russian community.

Just curious if zotonic will support other databases aside from postgresql. How about cassandra?

@Efren A Zotonic version for a distributed key/value store has been planned and we are working on it.

HI.
This CMS looks very interesting. However, like Teddy said, hosting will be a problem with these specific requirements.
Is there any way of following your development, getting updates, news, twitter?

@Vayu
our mailinglist, zotonic-users, is very active:
http://groups.google.com/group/zotonic-users
we post annoucements there and help users with all kinds of issues.
You can also follow @zotonic on twitter for release announcements etc.

I know Erlang a bit, and I'm going to love Zotonic, but how about non-Latin characters ? Does current Erlang support unicode, or any non-latin charsets?

Does Zotonic have social Networking features like loging in a personal page, adding friends and writing messages on a wall? Is it possible to write Instant Messages to friends? Does Zotonic have features of a Shop like a shopping cart and secure payment options?

I am able to connect to zotonic database using zotonic credentials. What am I missing ? Do I need to manually create these tables ?

is there a zotonic irc channel ?
Marc Worrell
Posted 11 months, 24 days ago.
@nish Alain O'Dea just contributed a paypal payment module. Social network like functionality is something we are adding bit by bit. There is fully functional signup, simplified access control and facebook signup.
@linda When you can run Erlang and PostgreSQL, then you can use it.
@onkara Strange error, does it work better with 0.6?
@onkara Currently we don't have an IRC channel, maybe nice to setup one :-)

I'm very interested in this as a possible development environment for our clients.
Do you have a list of sites that were developed in Zotonic?

I installed Erlang using macports (Erlang R14B01 (erts-5.8.2) [source] [64-bit] ), and have the full XCode installed. However, when I do a make in zotonic, I get the error :
cd deps/z_logger && make
Recompile: src/z_logger
src/z_logger.erl:272: Warning: function overload_test/0 is unused
cd deps/mochiweb && make
Uncaught error in rebar_core: {'EXIT',

{init,start_it,1},
{init,start_em,1}]}}
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [mochiweb] Error 2
Is mochiweb necessary and not part of a normal Erlang install?

never mind, after installing erlang+ssl I got Zotonic compiling.
Marc Worrell
Posted 10 months, 5 days ago.
Indeed, you need crypto + SSL :) We mostly compile from source.

Is your CMS translated ? French ?
Is there a possibiliy to have a multilanguage website with your CMS ?
Thanks for your answers

@m Yes we have a (partial) French translation. You can add your own languages and translate the content in as many languages as you like.

Dear,
is there a developer guide planed or not ?
There seems to have a lot of documentations but in fact, incomplete to start development base on Zotonic as a framework and not a cms.
We need for instance, more complete documenations on Module focused on Development needs (Models, Resources and so on).
What do you think ?
Thanks

Do you have any reference sites where Zotonic is live?

I've been using Zotonic for my blog and so far I really like it. It's fairly full featured for what I need. I'm looking forward to customizing it using ErlyDTL or Erlang and am very happy I don't have to do PHP. The speed *is* amazing.
I haven't gotten my head around the documentation organization. There seems to be a fair amount of docs but I can't usually find things I'm looking for. For e.g. I was trying to enable an atom feed on by blog and even enabled the 'Atom Feed' module via the admin interface. But I can't really figure out how to actually make it work. Am I supposed to read the source code?
