Welcome to the Coranto Beta



This is the home of the Coranto (ex-newspro) beta. This site is still under heavy construction; the only two available areas are the download page and the discussion forum, both of which can be accessed via the bar to the left.

The beta version is feature-complete, relatively stable, and should be ready for use on live sites. (One caveat: there's not much documentation yet.) It's still a beta, though, and if you run into anything you think is a bug, please report it on the discussion forum.

News & Updates

Build 29 Released -- Build 28 soon to expire   (posted 10/04/01)

Build 29 is now available. Unfortunately, development has been impossible recently, and this build is functionally identical to build 28. Build 28, however, is set to expire in early October; this new build has no expiration date.

To upgrade, click the Upgrade link on the main Coranto page when logged in as an Administrator-level user.

Addons & Upgrades   (posted 08/11/01)

Two new addons, both ports of NewsPro addons, are now available: NewFiles and RSS File.

As well, NewsPro upgrade instructions (for version 3.8) are now available on the download page.

Final Version Cost   (posted 07/28/01)

Many people have asked whether the final version of Coranto will be free -- the time-limit code on the beta seems to be scaring people. Be happy: the final version, which will have all the features (and all the license conditions) of the beta, will be free of charge. There are plans to sell licenses for support and such, but the full version will continue to be available for free.

Testing Forum Integration   (posted 07/27/01)

This is an early test of a forum integration addon for Coranto -- please stand by. (I should say right now that this addon is not likely to be available for a while.)     Comments (30)

Change Date & HTML Builder   (posted 07/27/01)

Two more newspro-era addons, Change Date and HTML Builder, are now available for Coranto. They are on the download page.

CSS Editor Addon & Themes   (posted 07/19/01)

A simple new addon, CSS Editor, has been released. It lets you edit the CSS stylesheet code Coranto uses for script pages. That is, it lets you change the colours and font styles Coranto uses.

This release also comes with a request: please download it and try your hand at changing the CSS code. If you come up with a style you like, please post the CSS code to this forum thread. If enough good styles get posted to this thread, a future version of the addon will include them as predefined colour themes.

New Addons   (posted 07/16/01)

Two simple new addons are now available on the download page: Glossary and News Preview.

The Glossary addon is an exact copy of NewsPro's Glossary feature. The Preview addon, on the other hand, is not quite like the old addon: the preview page is customized via a template, preview.tmpl, and the preview pops up in a new window.
