WriteMaps Implementation with Midgard CMS

Here's an interesting implementation for the more technical WriteMaps users out there. Henri Berguius recently posted an article demonstrating how he has used WriteMaps to generate site structures in the Midgard Content Management System. Henri developed a PHP script that accepts WriteMaps' exported JSON data and parses it into a site wizard in the content management system. Henri also mentions that he would like to see WriteMaps "provide an API we could hook to" in the future, which is an interesting idea to consider. Many users have requested some sort of page generating functionality in WriteMaps and it's great to see a working example of how that might be accomplished. So if you use Midgard CMS or are considering parsing your WriteMaps data into other systems, check out Henri's post!

WriteMaps featured in c’t Magazine

The January issue of German CT (Computertechnik) Magazine has featured WriteMaps in a software review. The article highlights the features of the application and recommends it as a site planning tool. According to Wikipedia, CT is "the fourth most popular German language computer magazine with a sold circulation of about 367,000", so this is great news for WriteMaps. I was fortunate enough to get a couple copies in the mail from the nice people at their US offices. Thanks CT!
