Hi,

I'm looking for a minimalist flat-file CMS. There are many floating around, I found a list on e.g.

Is there one written in Object Pascal ?

I don't know about CMS, but if you are only looking for a few static pages, i wrote a small tool some time ago that generates a static site with few generic static pages, galleries and news. It is kind of a poor man's iWeb, except it doesn't have a WYSIWYG element at all :-P.

It has a few built-in themes but making your own is trivial. There is no binary download at the moment, but it should compile out of the box with Lazarus.

Yes, PWU (aka Powtils) included one. I used it to run a small wiki on my server some years ago. The content was in a plain text file, and the SCMS (aka wiki.cgi) inject a menu, header and footer.

It came as part of the PWU examples. I have the SCMS project files I used. I can archive it and email you a copy (or make it available for download on my server) if you want.

Did a quick Google search to see if the Powtils examples are still available online:.

The online demo below still works. :) The default password to edit and create pages is 'simplecms' - if you wanted to see how the editing works.

SCMS is a bone simple content management system! It uses no database and therefore is only a small learning example (no external reliances). =====================

AFAICS It's on Github:

It seems so, though I see the "simple-scm" demo is not included any more, though the "simple-wiki" is still there. I can't remember what the difference was. I know my wiki/cms was based on the "simple-scm" demo, with some of my own mods like a special listing page, more tags, the start of Creole 1.0 tag support etc.

Also, from memory (but this was like 4-5 years ago) post PWU v1.6.0.2 was a rewrite of PWU and pretty unstable for a long time. So I kept using v1.6.0.2 for my projects that used PWU. Maybe v1.7+ became stable again - not sure. I just checked, I still have the original archive for the v1.6.0.2 release and my custom simple-cms code still compiles and runs (just tested on 32-bit FreeBSD with FPC 2.6.4).

So try the latest from Github and see how it goes. Alternatively, I can give you a copy of what I have.
