Too Much Meedia announces the release of CARMA v1.1! - GoFuckYourself.com

TMM_John · 07-18-2006, 12:41 PM

Too Much Media is proud to announce the release of the latest version of our Content Administration and Release Management Application, CARMA version 1.1!

In response to an ever increasing demand for new features and improvements and in conjunction with Too Much Media?s commitment to developing the most powerful content management program possible - we are releasing CARMA version 1.1, the next step in Content Management evolution from the makers of the NATS affiliate tracking system.

CARMA 1.1 offers a wide-range of new features, including the new Publish Mode feature. In the first step of many future Publish Mode features in the making, the new ?Use Join Date? Publish Mode allows you to change and control the way content is published to your members. Rather than having a general release schedule for all members, you may now manage content release schedules based on the individual member?s join date!

This means that content set availability or deployment to individual members happens on a schedule that?s relative to member?s join date, rather than just the current date. This allows each member to have their own schedule of content rollout, so the individual member could potentially be retained longer in anticipation for future content.

Advanced management of content deployment, publishing and availability to the membership has been a high-demand feature, according to Fabian Thylmann ? Lead Developer and Co-Founder of Too Much Media, LLC. "Being able to base content release on the member's join date was one of the main features asked for by our current and potential clients and we made sure our next release offered just that,? said Fabian regarding the new Publish Mode Feature, ?with more staff handling our customer support, our developers have more time to extend our software, making our development cycle even faster than before.? In addition to the ?Use Join Date? option, look for Date-Based Rotating Content Sets in the near future.

In addition to Publish Mode, CARMA 1.1 offers performance enhancing features such as the incorporation of FFMPEG-PHP and the use of Smarty Caching. Fabian, excited about the new performance enhancements, had this to say about Smarty Caching and FFMPEG-PHP - ?We have been working on many big and small speed improvements in CARMA over the past 6 months as our client base grew and with the final additions of advanced template caching and memcached support we have reached speeds previously only seen with static html member?s areas.?

Smarty Caching improves CARMA performance by allowing templated content to be cached, rather than re-processed every time the page is loaded. This feature comes complete with a SMARTY_CACHE_LIFE configuration setting that allows you to set the duration that the cached pages will remain cached. Please note that this feature does not cache things that are intended to be real-time or dynamic, such as polls, ratings, and searches. CARMA has also incorporated FFMPEG-PHP in addition to MPlayer, the use of which dramatically improves thumbnailing performance and quality.

In addition to these features, CARMA 1.1 has also added many others great new features:

1. GDLib ? We now use GDLib instead of using ImageMagick for thumbnails, which not only creates better thumbnails, but it also does it drastically faster.

2. Actors admin ? The CARMA admin now includes the new Actors Admin that may be used to enter extended information related to actors in your content.

3. Producer information ? You can now add producer information to content sets in the Gallery Content and Video admin.

4. Advanced Search Criteria ? You may now search content sets for multiple categories of information using a large array of available search criteria, narrowing down search results to a greater precision than was previously available.

5. Advanced Text Watermarks ? You may now watermark your images with multiple fonts and colors (any html hexadecimal color).

6. Tree View ? Scan content now has a tree view available, which allows you to view your content in an easy to digest hierarchical tree view.

7. Better Session Management ? CARMA now closes member download sessions once they begin, to allow for multiple concurrent file downloads, which improves user experience with your content site.

8. Disable Auto Scan ? You now have the ability to disable the automatic updating of the schedule rules in configuration settings. This will greatly improve performance while altering your content sets.
