Ever thought about building a game engine... in PHP? 🤔 @jaxwilko_ did! Here's the story of how he took on this wild challenge, turning #WinterCMS into a 2D game engine with multiplayer support. Check out the demo and post to see the madness in action! wintercms.com/blog/post/how-…

@cerdalider Thanks for checking! Yes, it is. You can read the release notes here: wintercms.com/releases/v1.2.6 You can also always view the actual changes on both the main modules and the storm library from the release note if you have any concerns. 1.2.7 should be out soon.

@usewintercms Today I'm seeing version 1.2.6 but nothing about this release. It's secure?

We've released Winter v1.2.5 for immediate download! 📷 This important maintenance and bug-fix release improves support for PHP 8.2 and above and adds custom option support for dropdown fields. You can read more about the release here!: wintercms.com/.../post/winte…

@ophiel118 @leostera You can even do artisan create:model --all and it does migrations, model files, and controller files all at once 😉

@leostera Check @usewintercms - they say CMS but in reality it's laravel based CMF and with it you can go artisan create:model / create:controller and it will create empty migration, ready to fill yamls for form and list, model, controller, base configs and views files. I love it. #lazydev

@blessdarah @TheLukeTowers @PovilasKorop Take a look at wintercms.com/docs/v1.2/docs…

@usewintercms @TheLukeTowers @PovilasKorop How do you structure roles permissions using the json column approach.

Laravel tip. For roles/permissions, you don't necessarily need any external packages. Just create a DB structure like this one. We've implemented it in multiple projects, like in this course: "Laravel Vue Inertia: Food Delivery project step-by-step" laraveldaily.com/lesson/laravel…

@blessdarah @TheLukeTowers @PovilasKorop Any specific questions?

@TheLukeTowers @PovilasKorop @usewintercms Could you expand more on this approach?

@ivanderbu2 What about Winter CMS with the Tailwind UI plugin? github.com/wintercms/wn-t…

Almost every Laravel admin panel or CMS interface looks like a Windows 98 application. Laravel Nova is the only exception. Why can't we have nice UIs?

@iszuddin Winter can perform great either as a CMS replacing WP with a much nicer user (and dev) experience, or as a CMF for Web applications built on Laravel. See #backend-only-mode" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wintercms.com/docs/v1.2/docs… for instructions on using just the backend, an approach that I personally use a lot - Luke

And then WinterCMS becomes a Laravel boilerplate instead of a CMS. I like the Plugin Builder Plugin. But other tutorials are mostly about building a website. But still trying to figure out the best approach to doing that. Any pointers? @usewintercms

WinterCMS is a Laravel-based CMS, a fork from OctoberCMS. Looks interesting. At first glance, WinterCMS is not a CMS like WordPress or Wix. It seems to be more for developers. But I am still trying to understand this better. @usewintercms wintercms.com

@cornatul Fixed, thanks!

@usewintercms link is dead

@leetNightshade Fixed, thanks!

@usewintercms I'm seeing a 404 error for that link btw, idk if that's just me.

Winter v1.2.4 is now released just in time before the new year! 🎉 Over 60 new changes and fixes including grid-style repeaters, relation controller improvements and some important performance and security fixes. Have a 👀 at the changes here: wintercms.com/releases/v1.2.4

@_PrestaSafe @PovilasKorop @filamentphp @octobercms Winter CMS has now been mentioned, thanks for the link 😂

@PovilasKorop @filamentphp @octobercms is a very good choice. @usewintercms for a fully open source if you prefer.

r/laravel - Which is the best Laravel based CMS reddit.com/r/laravel/comm… This question has been asked on Reddit every month or so. But curiously, this time, I see ZERO people mentioning OctoberCMS. And more than half voted for @filamentphp with plugins. The rest - Statamic.

@martinnewman @benjamincrozat @martinnewman wait! Don't do that yet, have you checked out wintercms.com? We're the open source content management framework built on Laravel that can replace WordPress. Hit @TheLukeTowers up and he can have a quick call with you to see if we'd work for your needs!

Are you not afraid of the maintenance burden in the long run? I also build a complete custom - multitenant - CMS in #laravel, but finding myself rebuilding features that are widely available in W@pre#ss... It was an awesome ride to build, but once the amount of sites grew, my time became limited and team demanded more features, it became a liability.. With pain in my developer heart im about to move everything over to W@pres#ss.. 😢

The revamp of my blog is going great. It's still based on Laravel, the progress is steady, the code is way better, and it's still open source (checkout the develop branch). It'll soon be in even more people's Google search!

AI is coming to the Winter CMS docs thanks to the brilliant folks at @vehikl! Check out the prototype at ai.vehikl.com/docs/winter and share your feedback!
