ColdBricks 1.0 Documentation

Well, its been an interesting few days after the release of ColdBricks. I am happy to see that it has generated a certain amount of interest in the ColdFusion community, and for what I've seen there was a definite desire to see more open source CMS solutions - I just say the more the better!

One of the main problems that people have pointed out in these days is the blatant lack of documentation for both HomePortals and ColdBricks. And they are right!! both projects can look a bit daunting without knowing what is what and where is everything. I've spent the last several months slaving myself over the code and really didn't had the time to focus on the documentation side. So now that the code for both projects is out in the wild I have tried to put a little bit of extra effort to produce at least 'some' documentation.

Thus, the first draft of the ColdBricks User's Guide is now available for download. This draft only contains the first three chapters of the entire guide. The chapters included are:

1. Overview 2. General Information 3. Getting Started

However this chapters provide a general overview of ColdBricks, its relation with HomePortals, how everything is organized and some quick reference guides on how to get to each part of the application.

This is a very early release and may very well have some typos and other bugs that need to be fixed, but I wanted to have something out quick for anyone that wanted to get their feet wet with ColdBricks. On the next few days I will continue working on the remaining chapters and publish the Guide when is ready.

The users guide can be obtained from the downloads area from the ColdBricks website.

In the meantime just play with it and have fun!
