What's Coming:

  • Static Page CMS - Gets rid of a bunch of tpl and php files used for static content and instead provides a WYSIWYG editor that allows for the creation/editing of pages on-the-fly.
  • Sidebar Ads Module - A sidebar module that allows one to offer 125x125 ads on the right-hand side of the page.
  • AJAX Editorial Controls - Allows one to publish/discard/delete/killspam stories directly from the story summary page rather than navigating through multiple steps and layers to perform a command.
  • Anonymous Commenting - Give your Pligg instance more of a blog feel by allowing anonymous commenting with the usual name/email/website/comment fields. Also integrates with reCAPTCHA.
